No Friends During Break?

No Friends During Break?
I'm a Junior guy in college in the states. I am half Bulgarian (my mom was from there and I was born there). Even though most of my life I lived and went to school in America, I used to spend all of my breaks back in Bulgaria and studied all of 9th grade there.

Having spent all of this time there, I speak Bulgarian fluently (though with a veeeery slight accent when tired, had some drinks, or thinking in English) and obviously am familiar with the culture and modus operandi.

I used to spend at least 3-4 months a year there, but since I entered college, I only have been going back during winter break - just for 2 or so weeks. Now, obviously I am very happy here since I get to see my grandmother and aunt who helped a lot in raising me (my granny used to come to the U.S. for half the year up until my mom passed away 8+ years ago).
Blood is thicker than water.

But, that being said, they are quite old, and a young buck like me needs a little social life, and interaction with other young people. Since I haven't been around home for such long periods of time, I barely know anyone anymore.

I only have two friends I can call right now. (There usually is a third, but he stayed in Austria for break). The one is closer, but he goes often to his family's village during the holidays, so I only got to meet up twice so far. The other guy used to be pretty close (since we were like 5-6) but kinda is a dousche now, and though he will hang out a little, it feels forced and out of obligation to an old acquaintance.

What do I do? I don't know who I can message on Facebook, since except for those three, I wasn't really too close to anyone (just hang out buddies but years made us drift apart too much) and calling or texting people I used to know seems pointless since either their numbers have changed or it would be awkward.

What's worse is that I am in the capital where there are tons of people my age, and seeing them hang out and all makes me feel lonely.

I guess I could go out and try to find some new friends, but it seems pointless since in a week and a half or so, classes start back in America.

I really am at a loss. I just never was the type to make closer friends and keep up. Even in college I know people, and find stuff to do, but don't have a group, and all 3 of my close friends graduated and the one is taking a break this semester.

What can I do to find people to go out with?

TL;DR I am "back home" for break, but everyone is "someone I used to know"... Whaddayado?

Who needs friends? I don't have friends, I have one. One is all you need, if it a true friendship that is. Don't conform to society it will bring you down. Alone is what I have, alone protects me. Being alone is peaceful and allows you to think greater.
