First Few Weeks of College: Making Friends?

I posted the same thread in High School life but I was told that maybe you guys would have some better advice. I'm not shy or ugly, I just haven't taken the time to be social or to make more friends (I've had the same ones since... 3rd grade?) and I don't want to start off on the wrong foot in college.

I don't want this to be a typical CC 'HW 2 MAEK FRIENDZ!!!???///' topic but I know the first few weeks of college are pretty important an, as I said before, I think my social skills are fine but several people in high school have told my friends indirectly that I come off as a bit arrogant or mean (neither of which are true, it's just the way I walk/stand/body language, honest).

So my question is, what can I do to be more approachable or what to do when I get there? Just plopping down by a random group or people or person seems a bit awkward to me. Advice or any personal stories?


(and yeah, I know "Another poor little naive frosh" but you guys were excited when you were my age too
