Make eye contact with every person you can. Smile through the awkwardness. Verbally greet people when in close proximity. Ask people questions that are specific to your interests ("I see you have a sports team shirt on, I too like sports ball!")

The next step is to find your confidence. Some other folks here mentioned a hobby or other activity to make friends. For me I found a rollerblading and roller skating group, because I had skated so much on my own I was able to use that confidence to fit in with the group. 70% of my friends as an adult came from that group.

And my last piece of advice is to play the "Yes" game. Whenever an opportunity presents itself then accept. You have more time to do this while you are young. This is the opposite advice as what entrepreneurs give, but when you are in college find as many opportunities to do as many new things without getting into trouble.

As for Halloween, dress up, get a big bag of candy, and try to give it all out. Do it with poise and grace. People will remember candy dude and more than likely you will find a group to tag along with.

Good advice, I guess I still got to find an activity where I can be really social (the 1 club I'm in is more academic).

Cool idea on halloween, do you think just go on campus and hand it out? Sounds kinda fun lol.
