The best way to make friends (besides simply being open and sociable) is through student organizations and extracurriculars, as well as study/discussion groups within your classes. I have noticed at UT that everyone there has this attitude towards trying really hard to “be cool” and not look interested or anything because they see everyone else acting this way. This seems like it could be a big roadblock to making new friends and I think you might have to remind yourself once in a while that most of these people around you are probably just as normal as you and not nearly as cool and collected as they look on the outside.
