>I fear I'm not an authentic human, I berate myself, I berate those around me, I berate the world and my situation and then I do nothing to try and better myself

Literally 4chan the post.

Look, I was where you were two years ago. In some ways, I still feel the same way, but reminding myself that this really is the beginning of my life gives me hope and peace.

Your first year of college will be a wake-up call, you'll seemingly make the first meaningful relationships of your life, taste independence, and hopefully (with determination, please do not drop out, imagine the tremendous waste this opportunity would be) discover what you want yourself to be. The cliche "finding yourself" couldn't be more true, somehow you start to make sense to yourself, finding pieces of your essence in your muddled mind and actions, and then you can strive for self-improvement and actualization.

Hope this helps in any way.
