Both a blessing and a curse.
Definitely try to make a lot of friends in a lot of different groups of people. I had my core group of friends, my improv/theatergeek friends, my literary friends, and my musical friends, so if there was a lot of friction with one singular clique I was a part of, it was okay if I just avoided them for a while.
Unpack and try to keep things tidy, in case your roommate hates messes. Passive aggression is something you really want to avoid, especially when you're just starting out at school.
And remember, you're a freshman, so it's okay to make a mistake or two.

i wasn't too involved with extra curriculars in high school, so i thought well, here's my chance to reinvent myself and become the sort of person that's a member of a wide variety of clubs, including a sorority. i also tried to find a part-time job on campus.
yeah that was dumb. i should have focused on my classes.

Yeah as important as a part time job can be for extra cash sometimes you just have to give yourself time to do the stuff that really matters. There are many ways of scoring free food and fun at college and you can always save up by working during summer session.
Focus on your classes and activities you are really interested in. You have to make tough decisions. I personally wish I had quit the swim team after my second year. The new coach started a very competitive a program (6 AM extra workouts on top of normal workouts). I was a great swimmer but I am not a very natural athlete. I could have focused more on my interest in the Student TV station and my term papers. Instead I spread myself too thin and tried to work part time on top of it.
I suppose you just have to ask yourself if what you are doing now is really going to help you out when you get into the real world.

College is for dumb people. Snarf knows. All Snarf's friends pay thousands of dollars for piece of paper. Snarf generates on on computer.

Snarf can't make proper sentences. All of Snarf's friends probably can.
