College allows for so much more freedom than high school. This is the first step of actually getting out on your own. About making friends if you don't party, I disagree with that very much. I have been to many parties, but I don't drink at them. You just have to let your friends know you aren't going to drink. For me, it's easy, because my friends have always known I'm not going to drink because I refuse to do so. If your friends that you have know you and love you, they would respect any decision you make for yourself.
When it comes to making new friends in college, you just have to be yourself. Don't do something just because you want to be accepted by someone else. By giving in, that is showing a fake you. You want to be able to act normal around anyone, and if someone isn't willing to accept you for who you are now, then that person is not worthy of being your friend. Go to parties, have a good time, but do what you want to do, not what anyone else wants you to do or expects you to do. You don't need to drink/smoke to have fun.
