I was looking to talk to anyone. My friends had gone home. Some people weren't interested in talking, I could tell by their face expressions. I felt sick to my stomach. I tried to make myself busy, but I didn't want to work. Feeling lonely is for week minds so I've heard. It's unhealthy. I'm being a baby? Am I falling into the same pattern or is this normal?

It's not unusual at all really, though I suspect there are a few humans out there who never feel lonely. I usually feel lonely almost all the time, myself. I don't recommend it. You may even be a bit depressed (something else I know all too well).
What I would recommend is to stop fighting with yourself. You say that you 'could tell' your friends didn't want to talk to you... but isn't it possible that you were wrong about that? Sometimes when you are feeling down, everything you MIGHT do seems impossible, rude, and whatnot, when in reality it's nothing of the kind. Don't give up before you even try! Friends expect to be inconvenienced from time to time by their other friends; once you explain how you feel to one of them you may find that they think YOU are more important than whatever else they were doing (which is a very good thing to discover at times!).
Lastly, don't let other people tell you what you should be feeling. It's hogwash. No one can know what's going on in another person's head, and it is wrong for them to accuse you of being weak or sick for how you feel.
Get in the habit of acknowledging your feelings as they come and then asking yourself "What am I going to do about that?". And then do it!

It's normal to feel lonely. Especially in college. Next time you feel like this, try to find some activity going on at your school so you can be around people who do want to talk. You'll have a good time, get to meet new people, and won't be lonely. Don't be afraid to go by yourself either.

Everyone gets lonely. The most social people are often the most lonely because nobody truly knows them. It's normal - just take a step back, take a deep breath, relax. Do your best to make friends and talk to just about anyone, from grocery store cashiers to the mailman, and it will eventually pass.

Loneliness can be cured.
The key is by learning to love and look after yourself and to care for and respect yourself.
If you do not have this ability, you will be lonely and dependent on others.
I used to be that way.
Now I am alone, but I am never lonely.
I know life is a pathway of multiple options and possibilities.
And I also realise that life is far too short to feel lonely.
In sixty years or so I will be dead.

Its quite normal. Nothing too serious to think about it in too deep.
Just cheers up , as you said you tried but some people were not interested in talking.
You should have come back home...or gone to library.
But I think a time comes for everyone when someday a person is lonlely and does not know what to do.
