College life

Idk if this is other people's sentiment as well, but I'm a current junior about to graduate in December 2022. After focusing on IB recruiting practically till last semester, I feel like I've missed out on a lot of the core college experiences and just doing dumb stuff, partying. Is this typical for a lot of people going into IB.And now I feel like that window to meet new people and do random stuff has gone. Dk how to solve it. Used to be super active in college my first sem and then it just went downhill from there. Not sure how to change it
