Anomaly, where do you go to school? It sounds like you go to a pretty big school, which is great.
Step 1: Get out of the fucking house. My parents made it very clear that I was to live in the dorms, and I agreed with them. In your case this means finding an apartment; check around. There are several places that will have openings before the semester due to people having to change plans.
Step 2: Get involved. If you're a gamer, hunt for a gaming club. TGC (Terrapin Gaming Club) at the University of Maryland basically saved my ass from being a dormroom shut-in without any semblance of social life. Think about your favorite hobbies from when you were younger, and try them out again. My roommate rediscovered how much he loved soccer that way, and now does intramural stuff.
Step 3: Stick with it. If you don't find the right club, look around for another. Make friends (it's never easy, but it will happen), and hang out with them. Life's a lot easier when you head out and meet with other people.
And if by some coincidence you go to the University of Maryland, let me know.
