College is about two things:
1. Getting the grades and personal connections that will help you succeed later in life
2. Having fun during your four (or more) years as an undergrad
It sounds like you have number 1 down at this point, and that is by far the most important. I suggest you just join a few clubs that interest you. Don't go crazy and get involved in 20 different things, as this will damage your prospects of getting all A's. However, I don't think 3 or 4 clubs would be unreasonable.
Also, don't try too hard to make friends: it happens naturally when you're around people with the same interests as you. Just join a few clubs and act natural: you'll do fine!

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
