Feeling Anxious/Depressed Lately

So, I go to a top 20 school, and I just finished my first semester. Since I go to a top 20 school, everyone is from out-of-state like me. First semester, I was able to make friends with most of the kids in my hall, and I would go to lunch and dinner (I rarely eat breakfast) with my floormates. Outside of my floor, I was only able to meet like 10 kids. The workload at my school is a lot, and as a result, I am constantly forced to study. I never have time to just go meet people/party/and hang out. My social life is pretty much dead. Ever since school started after winter break, I have been feeling really depressed/anxious/lonely. Just thinking about the amount of work that I will have to do, as well as how long the semester is, just makes me depressed/anxious. Being far away from home, is also making me homesick. Its only the first year, and I can’t imagine how long the next 3 years will be. (I am thinking about graduating early in 3 years because I have enough credits and it will save me 50,000.)
