Boring corridor mates...

At my uni, I'm on a floor of eight girls. Three of them may as well not exist; they are NEVER here and never make an effort with anyone. Another goes home something like four out of seven days of the week to see her boyfriend. Myself and the three remaining girls are good friends, hang out together, and are living in a house together next year.
However, two of them are SO boring, even though I feel harsh saying it. They never want to go out and they stay in every single night watching T.V or working. Me and the other girl, Rosie, are the only two that drink, and it makes things awkward. We can never persuade them to join us when we go clubbing or to a bar. They'll come to other things we do, such as the theatre or a restaurant, but that's it. When we're in the bar in our halls of residence, they stick together and refuse to talk to anybody else, which comes across as really anti-social.
A lot of people think they're boring, and because me and Rosie hang out with them, we get labelled as boring, too. It's not as much fun going out just the two of us, and it makes me depressed when I see all the other blocks going out together in a big group. Any advice?

It doesn't sound that bad, in my first year literally nobody on my floor was friendly and they all kept to themselves. I ended up making friends with people in other halls and joining societies at uni. At the end of the day, the other girls aren't there for your entertainment - some people just like to be alone or have no interest in drinking or clubbing which is fine. Maybe they think you're boring because all you do is go out and get pissed? (Not saying you are, but it's possible). I would just go out and try to meet other people, a lot of people aren't best mates with their corridor mates but that doesn't mean you're doomed, there are loads of people out there!

Cant you just make friends with people from other corridors? Go to the corridor next to yours and have a chat with them! Its not too late to meet new people.

We dont hang as a flat (theres 6 of us) i have friends from all over my halls from just randomly talking to people!
