Yes, I meant something like the weather or what you like/dislike about the services and structures of the campus or cafeteria, for example. I don't know. Just be causal. I'm not good at that either, but most people don't like to talk about serious stuff or things they don't know about, unless they are interested. So some adjustment is needed. You said you are a good listener. That's a good thing I guess. You just need to be engaged more, even if you are silent most of the time. I would avoid personal topics like relationships. May be it's wiser to talk about them if you find a friend you trust. Experiment. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out.
