The professor I'm meant to be in love with is shit and doesn't want to see me outside of office hours. No one speaks to me and almost everyone is a pretentious twat. I don't fit in and I can't stand it. It's like they're a family and I'm the disowned family member everyone hates.
And my other classes are either difficult, boring, or both. I hate it so fucking much. I really do.
Guys, really, how can I make school more bearable? Or how can I get more into the group in my lonesome class?

Do you go to a big/medium sized university? If so, I guarantee there are people there you can become friends with. Join some clubs that align with your interests. Especially anything traditionally "nerdy" because you're more likely to find similarly socially awkward people who are more tolerant of your social shortcomings.
As for classes being difficult, take advantage of every opportunity they give you to get ahead. Go to your professor's and/or TA's office hours for the classes you're struggling with, every single time you're feeling even slightly behind or confused. Not only will this help you get on track academically, but can also potentially double as a networking opportunity, which is JUST as important if not MORE important than getting a degree. Knowing people who can write sincere letters of recommendation or introduce you to others in your field is huge in getting into grad school or finding a job.
