When I first started college, I was terrified of having to eat alone when my friends were working or otherwise busy! But I determined that I wouldn't give in and eat in my dorm room...instead, I'd find someone else who was sitting alone, and ask them if I could join them. I met lots of interesting people this way- people I normally wouldn't have met. Some of them became really good friends, too. And when you're sitting with a total stranger, you have a whole plethora of potential conversation material :-) Worse-case scenario is that you'll endure an awkward 20 minutes of near-silence as you finish your meal.
