Things you can do after class instead of sitting in your apartment

There are so many things to do on a college campus and early in the semester people are very approachable. It's easy to make friends. Just do anything instead of sitting at home alone.

just do drugs.

Don't own one

>>play sports outside, it's early fall there should be plenty of guys out playing
All I see while walking around is a couple of friends throwing a frisbee usually. I'm not any good at most American sports to begin with.

How so? I'd feel stupid or awkward just walking up to random people sitting by themselves and trying to spark conversation. Do people really do this?
I'm not very socially adept, so this kind of thing seems odd.

>>go to your student union and hang out
See above

>>go to seminars offered by your institution. you can learn important life skills and it's another place to talk to people
I intend to do so, though none have really happened yet.

You're in luck. Oktoberfests are right around the corner. Good excuse to get shit-faced with strangers and have a good time.

Just walk up and talk about things in your environment or introduce yourself and ask the standard questions

>what's your major
>how long you got
>etc..

You gotta think a lot of people are away from home, they're homesick or just open to meeting friends so as long as you seem clean and have a good vibe they'll give you the time of the day. After a while you'll be able to tell the people you click with and the ones who won't really amount to anything. You don't have to be some social god to make connections in college. IT's why it's one of the best places to meet people. Also stop making excuses.
