When you are in a group situation today, keep your curiosity under control: it's not wise to go exploring with new people, or ask too-probing questions. While there's tons of interesting stuff you could uncover, you are more likely to ask the wrong thing of the wrong person. Wait for them to volunteer information instead. Right now, you need to stick with the people you came with in any social situation. You're there to have fun with them, so save meeting new people for some other time.
