You cannot believe how funny that is to me. XD
And as for you doodoo, I think you think too much.
I used to be a bit like you, (I was really bad! I always used to think about things like the nature of our existence (I still kinda think that we are just an echo of something that previously existed, which is why a lot of things still can't be explained), and the concept of a relationship), but then I realised that sometimes in life you just need to stop thinking about things, (as ultimately it was pretty pointless, especially since I usually would lose track of what I was thinking), and just do something.
What did I do when I arrived at uni and I was really nervous?
I just went out, and explored the area. Once I had a general idea of where everything important was, I felt a bit better, (and I had a bit of fun looking in all the shops I found too!

).
What do I do if I get depressed?
Watch a comedy film/series. One that I'm familiar with tends to work better, (brings back good memories).
If it really gets bad, I normally read my favourite book, which oddly enough is "The World of Karl Pilkington". It ALWAYS makes me laugh! XD
If you still feel depressed over an extended period of time, talk to someone about it. Someone you love, or trust, like a family member, (or a teacher! XD).
Maybe take up a hobby, (especially a skill based one that requires lots of practice), or try to learn new stuff, get more information. It might just help.
EDIT: In fact, uni was so bad for me, I really did almost fall back into a slump.
When I started I had no friends, annoying people living near me who irritated me and stole my food, and i was in such an unfamiliar place, and I missed my family. And when I say slump, I really mean it. Last time I was that bad, I slowly started to become desensitised to everything. It hurt my grade, and generally weirded people out. I avoided it this time, by almost literally throwing myself at everything (which is no easy task, since I am quite shy due to years of bullying). I talked to people, I explored, I went out and did stuff (not partying though, as I just hate the music, and I'm no fan of getting drunk constantly), and prepared, and I made a few friends, (though they are not quite compatible with me).
