Hi I'm an alumni who graduated on May 2008. I had a similar experience as you during my first and second years. Fortunately, I found the answer and that is to make some really close friends, not quantity but quality friends. Two or three is enough. They don't have to be very smart at their studies, as long as you can trust them enough to tell them who your secret crush is, or share some dirty jokes. We helped each other in our assignments and studies. We would go to mamak together, eat ramli burger together, and go swimming together. After exams, we would go steamboat or some other happening place to dine and feast together. Uni life became the best time of my life.
