Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Okay, so everyone always told me that college would be the best 4 years of my life.. i’m more than halfway through my sophomore year, and so far they have been the worst years by far.
My first year i started off at a top university in california, and was really excited to go. Once i got there, i realized how big it was and how lost i felt, and i tried to make friends and find a niche, but still found myself with nobody to hang out with on the weekends… I have always been very academically driven, so i did spend a lot of time doing homework, but so did everyone at this place.
Anyways, I would cry myself to sleep most nights, and really hated the school. I was having an awful time, and decided that i should transfer, in the hopes of creating a fresh start. I transferred to a top liberal arts college on the east coast, and am now having an even worse time. I tried much harder this time to make friends and seek connections and join clubs and groups, and I feel so much worse here than at my old school. I cry myself to sleep quite often, and have had 2 therapists tell me that i’m clinically depressed (and i promise, i was happy as a clam in high school, so this is a new thing.) Also, during november and december of this year, i contemplated suicide multiple times a day, and came somewhat close to carrying it out a number of times.
Needless to say, I’m not having the best years of my life. I can’t drop out of college, because A.) my parents would never allow it, B.) I would never let myself live it down, and C.) I have nothing else to do. I also have no idea what i want to major in, and have lost interest in what i thought i was going to major in (so now i have no way to feasibly fit in any other major before i’m supposed to graduate.)
What should i do? I’m miserable on so many levels.

I am seventeen, I had to leave my school for personal reasons, I have planned on getting my GED when I turn eighteen, I plan on going to Northampton Community College directly after. I live in PA.
i have a few questions.
-Can I take the GED course before I turn 18
if so can I go straight into school I have completed?
-Should i be applying to school’s now even though the last year of high school i completed was my sophomore year?
This is supposed to be my senior year. a majority of my friends have already gotten their acceptance letters to schools and things like that.
-I want to be a photographer will any high end art schools take someone who only has a GED?
The Ged program i am interested in is affiliated with the community college I plan to go to.
if you can only answer one of my questions i dont care any information you can give me is greatly appricated.
Please do not leave links to web pages that do not have someone you can talk to. i dont do well unless my questions can be answered not just anyones questions.
Thank you for anything you can do.

Before I begin I would like to point out that I am quite aware my grades/scores are very poor and that it is a huge stretch to apply, but I decided I might as well try. The worst a more prestigious school like UCI can do is reject me.
UC GPA: 3.35
SAT: 1790 (retaking on December 4th, I hope)
SAT II US History: 670
SAT II Math 2: 640
Cumulatively I have taken 6 AP courses and 9 Honors courses.
Extracurriculars:
Animal Rights Club for two years.
I’m in Desi Club, Senior Class Committee, Harry Potter Alliance, Club ED, and a Journalism News Editor. I was also a tutor to students who failed to pass the CAHSEE.
Volunteer: I volunteered for about 30 hours with Cats In Need.
Work Experience: 2000+ hours working at my father’s automotive repair shop over these 3+ years
Miscellaneous (not sure if it might be helpful somehow): My brother is an alumnus of UCI and my mother works as a RN for UCI.
~~~No I don’t think that because I have family members affiliated with the institution that I have some extreme advantage over other applicants. I did not include their affiliation in my application.~~~
-Im not sure how difficult life circumstances play into admissions but I did choose to write a (OK) personal statement about being diagnosed with severe depression in my sophomore year. I tried to refrain from sounding like a liability or charity case though, obviously focusing on what Ive gathered from the experience and how college might serve as an outlet to help me with it et cetera.
Any constructive criticism would be highly appreciated, thanks!
