some very good suggestions already. to add on with my advice, here's some things to consider;
1. practice positive self-talk and affirmations - reprogram your mind to be and think how you want it to be
2. hypnosis - this is a fast way to reprogram your mind
3. raise your peronal standards - are there some things about yourself you could improve? if so, do them! dress better, preactice excellent grooming habits, get a nice haircut. start treating yourself excellently and others will soon do the same.
4. focus on your health and fitness - how is your current health and fitness? are you exercising regularly? eating healthily? if not, please do. nothing says "I love me" more than practicing excellent health habits.
5. state management - practice adopting a confident, powerful state. stand, walk, breathe, talk like an important person
6. contribute - rather than worrying about what others may think of you, look for ways to contribute instead. is there an international student or someone sinilar in your class that may appreciate your help and friendship? if so, help them and become their friend. outside of school, regular volunteer work can help put things in perspective too.
7. lighten up/don't take things too seriously - adopt a much lighter, care free attitude.
