How to keep a low profile in college?

I'm 21 and I'm going to a junior college (American River College) As I was looking around it looks as if most of the students are about 18 maybe even 17 and in their early 20s. They seem to act a lot like high school students and I want to steer clear and avoid them as much as I can and I want to keep a very low private profile in school and not get approached. How do I go about not having students get any first negative impressions of me or not any impression at all? I don't want any students to think anything of me and I want to be as private as possible. I have been picked on a lot when I was younger and I'm anxious that I'm going to be picked on in my new school. I want to turn over a new leaf and start fresh and try to not have students pick on me and/or call me names or get in fights. I'm trying to finish up as fast as possible and get my degree to go to a top university and come out making a starting salary of $150,000 a year by the time I'm 30. I don't have time to have some young 17-18 or early 20 year old immature idiots in my way. I want to study hard and finish up and do extracirricular activities while I'm in school. I want to come out with a 4.0 and higher! I'm mature, eager, and I can get things done fast and I'm determined!

    Find some work outside of school or volunteer activities. You'll get to meet some new people and get money or experience you can use later.

    It's not like you're 40 and they can tell by looking at you.

    If you don't make a big deal out of it, nobody will likely know or care.

    There is no such a thing as a GPA higher than 4.0

    And there are few if any jobs where you're going to be making $150K a year, not as a young person.
