I'm a literature student as well in my late 20's. I find it pretty easy to associate and speak with almost everyone in my classes. Very rarely does anyone actually come through as showing his or her age during a conversation or speaking during discussion topics. My guess is the age gap isn't an issue as much as you being socially inept is an issue. I don't say this in a mean way, but you probably know deep down that it's true.

Try baby steps. Join a club on campus and work on your small talk skills. Being social and approachable takes practice like anything else. Whatever you do, don't drop out. You'll have wasted your time.
