College is really hard with social anxiety- it's part of the reason i dropped out.
My sophomore year of college, I went out 6 times (mostly by myself).
They actually had a shyness support group at my college (but you had to CALL to get more information, so needless to say- i never joined, but i wish i did.) You may want to check and see if they have one at your school...
Check the school newspaper, online or on bulletin boards for events that are happening around the campus. See if there's any clubs that might interest you. I know it's not easy, but if you do decide to go to something- keep in mind it's not a death sentence- you can leave anytime, it's ok to just check things out.
I ended up going to the pride group a couple times, even though im not gay but support the cause, just to at least get out, and actually met a few nice people. I'm not saying that's the group to join for everyone, but just that colleges offer lots of services- take advantage!

i'll go to the movies or drive around aimlessly pondering whether i could go somewhere to make some friends but i end up finding the situation of being alone too embarrassing. i'm sure i'd be fine if i just dived in and went to a club or a cafe. i'd probably be even more comfrotable going to see a gig or the museum. but i'm making excuses. i need to stop making excuses..
or i stay in and watch red dwarf for the nine millionth time...
sit there playing covers on guitar then go and watch something on youtube. or i'll start some homework.
i might drink 3 coronas, enough to make me tipsy.

Most Friday and Saturday nights Im at home on my own (other than the kids) and I can tell myself Im there cos Ive got to look after the kids but truth of the matter is if the kids werent there, I still would be. I always hate going to work on Monday cos people say "what did you do this weekend" and they've all done interesting stuff and Ive done nothing. It makes me feel really pathetic.

Lately I've been spending my Friday nights alone in my room doing homework. =/ Boring, I know, but at least I get most of my work done early.

Not a lot. I go cycling, then watch TV whilst surfing the web usually.
Dude, listen to me, you cannot allow this shit to continue. College is the ONLY TIME IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE YOU WILL GET TO GO PARTYING. Don't let it go by unexploited for the love of god!
Do you have any friends or acquaintances? If you do, just tell them that partying is nerve racking but you want to go. No one will judge you since the hottest people I have ever met ( and I have met a lot ) have told me how stressfull it can be at times. If they can feel so uncomfortable at times without losing self-worth, then SO CAN YOU. No one will judge you. I promise.
Your buddies will get you drunk, you will go and have a great time. Just try it once. If it sucks well then it will just be like the rest of your life, sorry and pathetic. If its awesome, then you will have discovered one outlet of fun!
I know it will work for you, believe in yourself and trust yourself just ONCE.
Have fun man.
