Well you certainly sound like an introvert but that doesnt mean you should be a loner. It sounds like you are trying to find a purpose for socializing.

If so, please remember that no matter how good your grades are and how qualified you may be, if some one makes friends with the boss they will get your job! Social skills are KEY not just to success but to a happy life because, face it, we measure ourselves based on other people's opinions. It's very hard to find out who you trully are without assistance from others. Also, social skills grow or shrink exponentially. Don't fool yourself by thinking "oh when I get out of college I'll become social". It simply doesn't work that way. You have allot to catch up on. I sugest you start now, but pace yourself. Don't expect to go to a party and have fun. It takes social skills to have fun at events, otherwise you end up sitting in a corner bored and frusturated.
