I'm a complete loner here, so a couple of friends won't hurt.

In your student handbook there should be a list of clubs on campus, you can also check your school's website, but your college should have an information center that can tell you what clubs are and where they meet. Clubs are an easy way to meet people and have similar ideas to you. goodluck :)

It's not about going up to random people that's the awkward part, it's what you have to say to them. I was notorious in my first year of college for randomly striking up conversations with people. I would find a relevant excuse to talk to them. Sometimes, even, I would just be honest, i.e. "Hi, name's Phillip. Sorry to disturb you but I'm bored, have a few minutes before class starts and wondered if I could sit here with you while I wait for my class to start...unless you're busy. No? Thanks! Again, sorry to disturb you. Oh, hey, what's this you're working?..." Also, there were several incidents where I'd sit around campus literally call random people over to talk to me. I'd have a big circle of people gathered around me while I'm crack jokes while we're standing there. A lot of people got to know me in this manner. It really just depends on whether you're outgoing or shy, confident or timid, that determines your ability to make new friends. Your best bet is, as I mentioned before, find a relevant excuse to talk to a stranger and that's your icebreaker right there!

Well. Sometimes I'm a lil shy. Depends. Last week, I went to my school to get a book and sat on a bench in the hall going through it looking to see what courses and workshops they have there. And I ddin't want to go home right away so I was sitting there reading it. Then I decided I wanted to go into the caf cause it was lunch time and well there was alot of ppl in there eating. I was a lil shy to go in there. I got up and walked a few steps as if I was going in there but then, I turned back and sat on the bench again. I thought lke well whats wrong with me?? Am I shy or what? LOL. I sat there for like 2 min and tried again. I went into the caf this time and sat there loking through the book. THe caf was filled with ppl. The problem with me is, I think I'm shy around a big group of ppl I don't know. I was sitting at a table not to far away from a table that had almost a group of ppl and it was like I wouldn't look up at them really. Maybe I think sometimes ppl would give me dirty looks or say something mean to me. Stuff like that has happened to me before in high school. So ya. I'm confident tho. I think I'm just a lil shy at times and not that I'm not outgoing at all. I am just not to the fullest.

Ah. Don't worry about that. I have the same problem sometimes, but I'm that way because I've always been self-conscious of my weight. Just start dressing confident and you'll feel confident.
