You feel alone ShyGuy, but you are veryyyyy normal. More people than you would suspect share your situation. Try getting out more, going down the hall to see what else is up. Go to that dance or the movies with a couple friends, relax. Maybe just leave your door open (even if your studying!).

I met my current boyfriend by accident, or rather by curiosity. He was watching a movie in his room (with his evil roommate lol) and I showed up at the -open- door. His roommate was the one that encouraged me to join them, but it was Ace the shy guy that could only smile and say hi that made me want to come back again...
