Join the club. It happens to most people.
For me, joining a sports club was the way to go. I started kayaking. The thing about kayaking that helps me to meet people is that kayakers are usually pretty serious about their sport. People talk all the time about how to improve and what equipment to buy, and they meet up to drive to the river, then have a drink afterwards. I have friends who do soccer and it's the same... The team goes out for a drink after games, etc. I'm not saying that you should do a sport, necessarily. But pick something to do that people are serious about, where people meet regularly.
The other thing is, force yourself to go out with people even if they don't really interest you at first. I used to be like you and I found myself getting isolated. So I started trying to be more open-minded about people and after I while I got more relaxed. Now I'm glad I made the effort because I became more open minded and met some cool people. You will run into people you're not that into, but after a while it will pay off.

While I'm not going to publicly endorse underage drinking, cough, I usually find a lot of my friends or even if they're just acquaintances I bump into often I met when I go out to party. It's college. There's definitely going to be frat parties on the weekends.
If that doesn't appeal to you, then I agree to join a club. Joining a club you're interested in will almost guarantee you make new friends because you instantly have something in common with them to talk about.
Try college again...maybe you are just talking to the wrong people I am SURE there are interesting people to talk to. Just go to the front rows of the classes and you will find the smart people that are determined there...not saying you won't find that in other sections of the class but I'm just generalizing...in the back you might find the more joking people but still...i say go for school

you could always go the social networking way of joining MySpace or Facebook. there's also social interaction in public like by going to a club or a mall or anywhere where other people are that you have an interest in, personally I love going to concerts so I've met a lot of friends at concerts and whatnot.
