Everyone's going to tell you to join clubs and societies for stuff you're interested in, and they're right, but I think it's a little more nuanced. I'd recommend going to a lot of groups' meetings, more than you can sustain.

Don't judge the club based on how much you like the activity or how good it looks on paper. Judge it solely based on how well you got along with the people in it. I stuck with too many clubs because I thought they were important to high-school me or to the people who would hire me three years later. I joined handball because I thought I had to get better at it, even though 90% of the people there spoke german and I couldn't socialize at all due to the language barrier. I paid for an Economics society membership even though it was a group of wannabe consultants with shitty attitudes.

I met a few friends though the Photography group even though I only had a passing interest in it (my first three rolls of film came out entirely blank). They had a small office you could chill in and everyone was super friendly and invited me to parties. I stuck with International Relations Society because everyone wanted to hang out after meetings and get to know you. It was probably the least prestitigious and popular politics group, but as a result the friendliest.

You can also do your own interests as long as you're social about them! I started playing League of Legends and reached out to people who said they played at my university. We eventually got a group of 20-30 and started our very own club.

So yeah, I recommend you try anything you have even a passing interest in. But drop it the moment you can tell you're not going to get along. I think going for a "quantity over quality" approach when picking stuff in college is always a decent choice.
