Any help I want to break out of my shy personality?

Ok, I'm just starting college and I want to meet allot of new people make friends. Really enjoy the college experience, since its suppose to be the best time of your life... But sadly I'm shy and quiet have trouble talking to new people jugging when is a good time to say something stuff like that. I have a few high school friends with completely different schedules so their in cl or not their when I am. I have meet a few people but I want to meet many people get good friends really enjoy it. Any advice? No negative comments, and don't say you will grow out of it, since that's not happening. I'm not like really Wired or anything just shy and quiet. Please help.
