To start this little post of, I would like to say that this is probably something I should post on Reddit or something.
However, I kinda need to learn and practice my English for school, since I have my final exam soon.
To give some background information, I am not only majoring in English but also in physics.
My physics class is full of guys and I am to only girl there.
They all knew each other before I joined the class.
This is why I do not have many friends there.
When I joined the class, one guy was nice enough to sit next to me, and we started to befriend each other.
We are friends during school, but outside of school we had basically no contact.
This changed recently.
I feel like he hints at wanting to be more than friends, and I am trying my best to nicely tell him off.
I am his type, and he has a long history of ruining his female friendships because he develops a massive crush on them.
This is incredibly annoying for me, because I just want to pass physics and want to have some friends there.
A few months ago he started following e on Instagram and he added me on snapchat, which is totally fine by itself.
However, he developed the habit of constantly writing me, and especially when he is drunk, which his concerningly often, telling me how much I mean to him, that I am nice and pretty, and that he "wants to take our friendship to the next level". (I was like "Ohhh, so you wanna be best friends?")
Additionally, he is constantly snapping me, constantly updating me about his life.
This is something I do not really mind.
However, he also started updating me about every single girl he is talking to. Not even in the sense of him liking this girl and hitting on her, but just like normal talking. Every half an hour or so, I get a snap saying "I just talk to *name of a random girl*".
And in the politest way possible. I really could not care less. Why would I want to know what girls you are talking to?
I feel like he is trying to make me jealous, but I just really do not care.
I do not know how to tell him that I do not want anything from him, but I also do not want to lose my friend.
This really annoyed my, because why can't he just be friends with girls and why does he have to ruin everything?

"I am" is correct (and may be more correct for an English exam), but "I'm" sounds more natural, and is more common amongst native English speakers.
Though the second "in" is correct, it sounds more natural to omit it.

Your sentence wasn't incorrect at all, it just sounded a little off.
We are friends during school, but outside of school we hadve basically no contact.
Be sure to maintain the same tense through out the sentence. "are" is present-tense, "had" is past-tense
This changed recently changed.
Your sentence was correct, it just sounds more natural with the other word ordering.
I feel like he hints at wanting to be more than friends, and I am just trying my best to nicekindly tell him off.
"nicely" works, but "kindly" sounds slightly more natural. "just" is an unnecessary suggestion, but it makes the sentence sounds a little bit more like a native English Speaker (In terms of casual speech).
I am his type, and he has a long history of ruining his female friendships because he develops a massive crush on them.

A few months ago he started following me on Instagram and he added me on snapchat, which is totally fine by itself.
However, he developed the habit of constantly writexting me, and especially when he is drunk, which his concerningly often, telling me how much I mean to him, that I am nice and pretty, and that he "wants to take our friendship to the next level".
"writing" gets your point across, but it sounds a little bit weird. Other more common words could be "chatting", "messaging", or "snapping" (like you used below), and probably others?
(I was like "Ohhh, so you wanna be best friends?")
Additionally, he i's constantly snapping me, constantly updating me about his life.
"he's" is more casual than "he is." Most native speakers tend to use contractions of <INSERT WORD HERE> and "is," rather than both words separately in casual speech.
This is something I do non't really mind.
"don't" is more casual than "do not," and is far more frequently used in casual speech (sometimes even formal speech).
However, he also started updating me about every single girl he i's talking to.
casual speech.
Not even in the sense of him liking this girl and hitting on her, but just like normal talking.
Every half an hour or so, I get a snap saying "I just talked to *name of a random girl*".
Since this is a quote, it could actually just be the case that this is how this person is writing, but the past-tense makes more sense here.
And in the politest way possible.
I really could non't care less.
casual speech.
Why would I want to know what girls you a're talking to?
casual speech.
I feel like he is trying to make me jealous, but I just really just do not care.
This word ordering sounds just a tiny bit "better," and is also (somehow) an instance where it sounds "better" to not contract "do" and "not" into "don't." Additionally, you could also go with the following suggestion.
"I feel like he is trying to make me jealous, but I just really don't care." (back to the contraction of "do" and "not" into "don't" sounding "better")
I do non't know how to tell him that I do non't want anything from him, but I also do non't want to lose my friend.
casual speech.
This really annoyed mye, because why can't he just be friends with girls, and why does he have to ruin everything?
"why can't he just be friends with girls" and "why does he have to ruin everything," are both separate thoughts, and should therefore, be separated by a comma.

Wow, as far as the English is concerned, this is really good! The overarching theme with the suggestions that I made are that you don't use contractions as much as a native English speaker (which is probably a good "issue" to have when you want to major in English). They're not really an issue in the sense that what you're doing now is better for "proper" English, but if you want to sound closer to a native English speaker, we use nothing but contractions (e.g. is not -> isn't, do not -> don't).
As for the actual content of your post, oof. I was also a Physics major in college, and Physics nerds can sometimes be pretty emotionally immature. If you haven't already, I would recommend explicitly stating that "I want to make it very clear that I just want to be friends, nothing more, nothing less." If his mentality is actually "I can't JUST be friends with girls," then that's a problem that he himself has to work through unfortunately. I would certainly post this else where and get more responses.
Otherwise, I'm happy to hear another person going into Physics! I hope that this experience with this guy is not going to make you leave, because we absolutely need more women in our field! Best of luck with your Physics adventures!

Worked without “always”, but I feel like it made the rest sound more natural.

if you wanted to keep both ‘constantly’s just to show how annoyed you are i would replace the second comma with a hyphen

if boys think youre pretty they are probably always going to imagine the possibility. theyre kinda like dogs in that way, you need to smack them on the nose and say get out of the kitchen! (hypothetically speaking, of course). when the boy is clear on where you stand and still he pesters you its not really a friendship you want to be a part off anyhow probably. its up to you to drop the right hints and be somewhat clear where you stand. saying “oh you wanna be best friends” could certainly be seen as flirtatious for example (if you had actually said that).
also if your physics is half as good as your English, i would love to know what you know. I have a physics exam in 10 days :’(

I understand your frustration. I would advise you to tell him again that you just want to be friends.
