I was a business (and math) my first year and found myself having tons of people to talk to, but no real friends at all. It was pretty awful in retrospect, but I never really thought of it like that. I made a huge jump and decided to turn CS (trying for EECS) and math, and found that I got along with everyone a lot more and I actually enjoyed going to class and working on things with people (are you enjoying the material so far? Try other classes to see if it’s really your thing. I was amazed by how much I loved the people in the major and the material, as opposed to biz.)

I also joined the archery club (absolutely no prior experience), and I met so many new (just plain random) people that I’m pretty close to now. This is coming from someone who has really never had “real friends” before and it’s been amazing! I really recommend joining a random club - anything that makes you go “hmm…that seems kinda cool.” In fact, I you could also try coming to archery beginner sessions the first or second week of next semester! See how you like it? There are a good number of engineers there too haha and archery really attracts a …unique(?) group of people.
