Alright, so here's the situation, I thought me and this girl were getting along really well, we would talk/hang out all the time during Summer Session for college. We lived on the same floor so we would see eachother almost everyday. So I started to really like her, and it seemed like she was liking me too.
So, about a week and a half of fighting with myself, to build the courage to talk to her about it, I did. after one of the nights that we went out to a party. She was shocked I guess, she didn't even know what to say after I told her.
Now, it seems like we're not the same anymore. We see eachother a lot, but like I don't know if she thinks that I still like her or what, but it seems like she doesn't want to hang out with me, if we're going to be alone. There has to be someone else either going along, or something...
So if anyone has any advice on what I should do?

That's natural for girls or guys when someone comes up to them and tells them they like them. Especially when it's very out of nowhere and a surprise to them, even if you didn't think it would be that shocking.
Of course after you tell her you like her, it's going to be awkward after that. Maybe give it some days to get that awkward hump over with. Then start talking to her again like you did before you told her you like her. If everything is still awkward and she doesn't seem to want to hang out still, talk to her about it. Tell her you don't want this to ruin your friendship.

Thomas, aren't you gay?
I thought about that too.
Tung's right about her reaction being natural. She was probably surprised by your confession and didn't know how to deal with it any better. Also, although you talked a lot, she probably felt like she didn't know you well enough for you to make a statement like that.
I'd follow Tung's advice about telling her that you don't want this to ruin your friendship. Give her some time to think about it all, but don't let her keep avoiding you. That's not fair to you. If she decides that she doesn't/won't be able to like you, then she should straight-up tell you.

I went through pretty much the same with with one of my best friends two years ago. It got extremely really awkward between us for a little while... but a few days later, we did exactly what Tung suggested you do (talk to her like you did before the whole thing happened) and we eventually got back to not being awkward around each other.
It may be difficult if you still have feelings for her, but I think it's better to stay friends than lose her in hopes of becoming something more.

Honesty is the best policy

She may be a bit weirded out by it, because she didn't think that you would feel that way about her. Give her some time. You two are friends. She'll come around.
