very worried abt my social life

I'm 19. First year in uni.
I've made some friends in my course and I can talk to them but its always small talk. I have hung out with them outside of lectures but despite the course we do, we seem to have nothing to bond over so

Yeah that definitely sucks. I heard that joining clubs can help you find friends? I guess you should keep yourself busy by going to the gym, events, cafes etc. This way you won't have time to feel lonely and the chances of bumping into someone like-minded will be high.
