you're leaving out a lot of information, that would be necessary to explain his behaviour in this instance

Most of us aren't snot-nosed kids anymore and will not treat you like that.

What do you want me to say, in particular?
He tolerated me and considered me nice because I smiled at him a lot and tried not to bother him. Sometimes I'd act a little more anxious and irritated than usual (nothing to do with him) so maybe he felt that and got annoyed, but he still tolerated me. But the last few days before the break while I was dressing nice and taking an effort in my appearance he started acting more standoffish with me, replying to me less, and acting noticeably irritated. I just find it strange.
I like the dude so it makes me a bit sad. I don't have friends and the group of friends I did have only shared one semester of class with me and one of them talked behind my back.

You looking ungroomed gave him a confidence boost. He assumed that since you didn't put effort into your appearance, he was above you. When you put in effort and looked just as good as him (or better), he lost the confidence boost and you are of no use for him.
He wants to fuck the unkempt, no makeup you.

He knows you're going to dump him and upgrade.
He knows even before you do.
This isn't really the place to be asking for advice, desu. You're likely only going to get responses like >>25500749
My two cents is that it could be a million things and there's no use in agonizing over every little possibility. After your break ends, if he keeps being standoffish, ask him what's bothering him.
