Ah, so you feel like you're on the outside, looking in. That's a tough piece of ice to crack.
But you gotta start somewhere (or not--it's your life). The benefit of college is that it's such a new thing for everyone involved. Well, except for maybe those 5th and 6th year seniors. Other than the Greek system, no one knows you're on the outside looking in. Certainly not the girl sitting in front of the library during finals week taking a break from studying. Or join some sort of group/club. They always have informal social stuff going on. (Just pick something that's somewhat coed, so it's not a total sausagefest.) Go play ultimate frisbee. Join the sailing club. Join the rock-climbing or outdoor education club. Let one thing lead to another.
