I think 80% is probably an exaggeration, but it is true a lot of incoming Emory freshman are pre-med. That goes away after sophomore year, after many of them have attempted organic chemistry.
Not feeling overwhelmed is a blessing, not a bad thing. I think a lot of competitive high school students have that feeling that if they’re not slowly sinking they’re doing something wrong. It’s pretty common to take general eds in your first year, get more interesting stuff in sophomore and really junior and senior year, especially when you are at a small two-year college.
If you’re seeking a cultural connection, why not join or start a club related to that? It appears that Oxford has an Asian Cultural Club as well as other clubs related to Asian identity (Chinese Student Association, Indian Cultural Exchange, Korean American Student Association).
As a humanities student who wants to connect with others, consider also creating a club/organization that’s focused around humanistic thought and discussion. Oxford seems to have one, the Phi Gamma Literary Society. I bet you there’s room for one more. There’s also Alpha Epsilon Upsilon, which is an academic fraternal group it appears.
If you don’t like people, don’t try desperately to get to know them or socialize with them. Learn to be comfortable with and by yourself, and making friends paradoxically becomes easier. Don’t try to insert or force yourself into your friend’s group - you don’t have to be friends with everyone she’s friends with, although it is easier if you can at least tolerate them . But if you don’t like them, then go find some other people to socialize with that you DO like.
The only way to improve your social skills is to practice them and be introspective enough to notice what works and what doesn’t. What do people respond well to? What don’t they? Knowing and being confident in yourself actually is key, too, because that way you know what you are willing and not willing to do. For example, I don’t do Facebook - and my friends know I don’t do Facebook. They tease me about it, and I laugh along with them, but in all seriousness they know if they send or invite me to something on FB I won’t get it. You can do the same thing about Snapchat - don’t feel bad that you don’t use it. If it’s truly necessary to socializing on your campus then maybe learn the bare minimum, but if it’s something you’re actually against then simply don’t use it and keep it pushing. That’s a smaller example - a bigger example might be the goody-goody thing. Maybe you really are a goody-goody. So what? Find people who are going to accept you for who you are, rather than want you to be something different. (Unless you aren’t or don’t want to be, in which case you have to think about how you want to reshape yourself).
