See what else is out there. Computers might be fascinating, but until you learn about a bunch of other fields, you will never know if they're what fascinates you most. Take as many classes as you can in as many areas as you're interested in, and be sure to take lots of classes outside your major. Finish more than one major. Join a sports team or club where you'll meet people you wouldn't otherwise. Save the specializ…

Oops, I meant to give this a +1 and hit the down vote, but it is definitely the most rewarding experience I had until I joined a startup. Travel gives you perspective. Also, spend time making friends with people in many other majors, the wider your horizons the more interesting things become.
I wasn't going to give it an upvote, but did for you. If one more person will do the same, it'll be +1 like you wanted.

Interesting - it is definitely an awesome time to be in publishing. I redid (as all freshmen tend to do) the paper's website, which was a huge learning experience. A lot of publications seem to have problems getting themselves online - collegepublisher is the witness. So you seem to be in a viable area. Most of the misery was from schoolwork, which is improving slowly. The social side is at a standstill, because I re…
Drinking Socializing If you learn nothing else, learn that. It is perfectly possible to go to a kegger and drink water all night and still have a good time meeting interesting people and talking to them about interesting things. Find those interesting people. Keep looking at different parties until you do. I still keep in close contact with friends I met at University, and would not trade that experience for the worl…
(you can try mescaline anytime after mush if you so wish, it will likely help you either understand the changes or find the connection, but would likely be counterproductive before mush is taken in a significant dose)
Take LSD until you feel an unshakable connection to the universe (start with a massive dose, theres no time like the first, listen to The Beatles [anything after Help! is best] and The Doors for assistance 'breaking on through to the otherside').
Then smoke DMT until you reach 'DMT hyperspace'. (Do not let fire touch the DMT, only touch the flame to the glass [and even then not /right/ under the DMT] take big hits you gotta take 3 big hits and hold them in before you become unable to smoke [mildly difficult]; keep trying.)
At this point you will understand your consciousness in a way science could never teach you, and you won't have to ask us anything about what you should do, you will already know.

Take a compiler course (or several). This really should be required, but unfortunately it wasn't at my school until after I graduated. Also, lots of algorithms and other "real" CS courses. Now is the time to learn that stuff.
Avoid the "trendy" courses (Stanford Facebook application class, I'm looking at you) and go for the hardcore CS stuff. The rest you can easily learn on your own, but I found having a professor and structured course was invaluable for the CS topics.
Of course everyone is different, but that's my opinion.
Smoke weed (or do tantric yoga) until you become conscious on a new level (you'll know when you have, if you have difficulties smoke more stronger weed, hash, oil, use a vapourizer or take it orally after extracting it with fat (bake Take mush (of the psilocybin variety) until you understand the nature of the change in consciousness created by the mary jane. (you can try mescaline anytime after mush if you so wish, i…
That said, I find people have different biological reactions that determine if they will enjoy a particular chemical experience. If you have no interest in it or don't enjoy it, then don't worry about it. If you do have an interest in it, then do it responsibly.
Go out with as many women as possible. Once you join the startup life the women will be few and far between.

Or get one (or a few) good girlfriend(s). Also, make sure one of them is bisexual.
