Going to my first college party tonight. I would really like to be sociable and charismatic but in situations like this I tend to turtle and just stick with my friends. Any tips on how to be social in general/ talk to girls in this setting?
Have a few drinks before you go

Sociable and charismatic? Are you going to a party or hosting a fundraiser dinner?
Do what you have to do to have fun. You won't enjoy yourself or make a good impression if you go in worrying about shit.

I think it's more an issue that I'll get judged, main reason why I turtle.
What kind of party is it? Give some context. Do you know many of the attendees? How many people will be there? Drinking? Drugs? Is this at a house, a hotel, an apartment?
If you smoke pot then a sure fire way to make friends is to smoke people up and make conversation with em!
Just do your best to be chill, man. Have a few drinks but play within your limits, don't let stupid shit faze you, don't try to start fights, and try to have some fun!
