Leaving my door open doesn't help much 'cause there isn't a whole lot of traffic in our section. Plus, I'm not a freshmen and neither is anyone else here.

I really just don't know what to do. How do I just walk up to someone and just start talking? What if I want to talk to specific people? How do I go about initiating conversation? I've thought about e-mail and asking if they want lunch but that seems really desperate and weird. I just want it to be normal.
