How to get new friends in the first year of college ?!?

[hi buddy XD]

i thought about facebook , espically there is a group for my faculty and everyone on it but I am afraid to add someone and they refuse the request and It would be weird to see them in real after that .
so do you think should I give it a try or what ?
btw I feel shy to add girls because you know but I am easy going and talking with them in real soo somehow I feel so awkward writting this anyway , well any help will be greatly appreciated , thanks ^^

oooh.... congratulations! you're now in college.

wanna know my secrets why do i have many friends?

the following are my tips for you to have friends in college:

1. you have to talk to people or approaching them by saying hi/hello.
2. you should show them that you're fun to be with.
3. you should never tell a lie or exaggerate things/events that happened or you have in your life.
4. be yourself, and be proud of yourself don't hide anything from people.
5.don't act as if you know everything.
6. show them that you have respect, and you're worthy to be trusted.
7. show them the true you.
8. don't make such disappointments to people.
9. don't talk/gossip anything that is bad about the people around you.
10. and most especially, if you have your friends, show them that you are a TRUE FRIEND WHO CAN BE WITH THEM IN TIMES OF DIFFICULTIES AND TRIALS IN LIFE.

Using facebook can work incase if you have a profile with your own photos n u post n online, recieving comments etc ..another thing which is most important is real BOLDNESS ,which can be achieve when you do'nt fear that the person to whom u wana talk would never laugh at you & he is a normal person like you not a perfect..yeahh but i think u should DO practice on it...or wait *GOOD LUCK *..
