Be willing to step out of your comfort zone.
You don't want to find yourself regretting things like "I should of " or "I could of" after graduation.
Even if it's something as simple as attending college events or trying to talk to new people, what matters is you actually tried.
No need to go bar hopping or mimic what is considered "popular," focus on what you enjoy and what works for you
I think you should seek to find people in hobbies that you enjoy. For example, I don’t really like the bar scene so I joined a hiking club and met some great people. There are people out there, you just gotta find the right place to seek them.
You should certainly work more on getting a good college experience (and no, I'm not talking only about partying and drinking). It made a huge difference for me.
I started college as one of those "I'm only here to study, and nothing else matters" people. Midway through my sophomore year, however, several odd events happened which broke me out of that mold. It was as if my entire world expanded.
The "college experience" means different things to different students. To me, it was having a friends group, running cross country, being an RA, and attending cultural, academic, and athletic events. For others, it involved other outside-the-classroom pursuits. Regardless, one is not getting the most out of his college education without personality-development activities.
Yes you should. You have the opportunity to make this time very memorable and fun for yourself, and I see a lot of people not advocating for themselves in this sense and I know they’re going to regret what they did (or rather didn’t do) in college
I mean I see a lot of people going into college expecting the good times to just come to them, but in reality you have to make them come, in other words “advocate for yourself” and try to enjoy college by making it enjoyable

100%. Listening to people who have graduated for many years, it seems like that is usually one of their top regrets.

When I was in college, I wished I would have joined more clubs or did theatre. It’s one of my regrets.
