I've been coping with some of the same issues since my girlfriend moved out of state. Try to take up some hobbies that can connect you to other people.
One does NOT need a bunch of friends but a couple loyal friends.

meetup.com is great imo met one of my best friends there.
Get lots of money. Money literally equals power. Power makes anyone your friend, or, you may get even more of a kick out of just keeping it to yourself

But how do I make friends in uni? Let me rephrase, I don't start uni until next fall and just work part time until then.
How do I make friends? Coworkers are all older than me(I'm 21, but these guys are married and like 35)
Volunteer? Clubs? How do I into social life?
Friendship is hard, and there are no set rules. But the vast majority of friendships are built on sharing time together. You need to put yourself in the same space as other people (ideally around your age) so that you will be forced to interact. Then you need to keep doing this.
This is why people tend to make friends in school, college and work, where they are forced to share space on a daily basis for long periods of time.
A person doesn't need to share all your niche interests or have your exact same worldview to be your friend. Those things help but you will be surprised to find sometimes what you have in common with people you thought were totally different from you. So don't discard people outright.
Once you put yourself in a situation where you are in the same place as other people, you need to make yourself available. If you're in class, don't sit in the back and away from everyone. If you're at work, don't put on headphones and ignore the world. You need to be open to interaction for it to happen.
And finally, don't be afraid of awkwardness or straight-up failure. You will not become everyone's friend and that's fine. A rejection is not the end of the world, and a person who rejects you at first may end up liking you later.
