College is supposed to be socially and culturally enlightening? Maybe it could have been, but it's not that way inherently. It sounds like you're getting upset over an ideal and not what did or didn't happen.
Actually, what this is really about is your own feeling of powerlessness, no? It sounds like you feel as though you were just taken along for the ride. That's a good reason to be angry; means it's less likely you'll get swept away by the current later on. It always helps to see what positive purpose an event can serve after the fact.
And remember, there's nothing to stop you from doing all the things you wanted to do in college. Go to clubs. Talk to people in the library. Hit up a party or two-it's not like they're exclusively for college students. School didn't provide you any opportunities you can't create on your own, you've just got to be flexible, inventive, and aware.
