It's been kind of overwhelming; everyone's pretty much really friendly, but i guess i've never had to socialize 24/7 basically and it's hard for me lol.  

My roommate is really social and likeable & while I think i am pretty likeable, compared to her, i feel like i don't measure up.

i feel like we meet people together because school started last week & we don't know many people, but everyone that we meet seems to like her more lol.

I kind of want to get out my shell, but it's a lot harder than i thought. helpp

Yeah it is really hard.  And it does suck having to socialize 24/7.  I'm in the same position as you except my roommate fucking sucks.

Look, these people are all new.  They do not know you.  They do not know you are a shy person.  So what is stopping you from changing?  There's nothing.  You could come totally out of your shell the next day in class and nobody would even notice anything, they'd just think it was the normal you, like that's who you are

Stop comparing yourself to her then.

She just sounds like she has a good first impression towards people, which doesn't mean you suck at it or anything bad on your end. You can't help that. The only thing you can do is to stay yourself and be open to new things and ideas.

A good first impression doesn't always mean it will last though, so give it time- you'll find new people and things to do that will make your college life worth it. Right now, everything is all new and you're just learning to get in the swing of things. Don't try to force yourself to soak everything in all at once. That only leads to disaster further down the road.

So what?  Everyone's still warming up, and I mean EVERYONE.  You dont take the chance now, you're gonna miss the time to do it, because in a few months time, everyone will already know who they're with and who they're not with

Don't spend 24/7 with friends. Work in about three hours, every day, for study time. And a volunteer job.
