Get involved in a big way in some activity- don't be afriad if they thrust you up to some level that you think you are not experiencved enough for or somesuch - just go with it. College upperclassfolk are always looking for freshmeat (pardon the pun) to step up to the plate, show their talent, and take over various responsibilities and organizations around them. Becoming one of those folk gets you well liked, well respected, and well connected to folk who may end up becoming friends for life.
Remember, college is NOT a time of personal growth. It is a time of preparation for the amazing and wonderful personal growth you will go through when you get out. You are learning how to learn, adapt, and do well in the outside world - the real big adventure. Take advantage of everything around you to arm yourself for the journey ahead, and don't fall back into the complacency of "I'm just here to figure myself out and experiment" - while to some extent this is true, I don't think anyone truly can figure themselves out until they're confronted with the realities of life in the real world rather than school.
