Method Numero Uno
This method within the guide to making friends in the dorms is not necessarily the number one choice, however, some may find it effective.
Step 1: Walk into a random room, unexpected.
Step 2: Look happy and friendly, seem like you want to be there.
HINT: It may help to enter with a wave or in song.
Step 3: Recognize the response you receive from the residents at home, and respond as you find fit.

Responses to Utlizing Steps 1 and 2 of Method Numero Uno
Response 1
Demonstrated in the image is a seemingly not so ideal response, yet some people may find it enjoyable and even welcoming.
Summary of Image: Resident automatically gives you an angered look as if you were an intruder and tells you to leave, or does not talk to you.

...and a quickly developing friendship that springs from both you and the residents decision to play Apples to Apples on the floor of their dorm.
Moving away from Method Numero Uno, and the possible outcomes it ensues, a second method is discussed:

Such a habit may include being in the bathroom....
For instance, you may need to wash your hands, and someone else may also be washing their hands. In such a case, some opening lines for interaction may include: "Hi," "How is it going?" "What's Up?" or the all time fav, "Wat it do?"
Any of these may be followed by listening the other students response, or and introduction of yourself, for example, "My name is _______."

Another habit may include, walking up the stairs and using the same material for conversation mentioned in the previous slide....
...or maybe you have a habit of sitting on couches. Other students most likely have the same interest, and luckily, it is usually normal to find one in every lounge in the dorms.
As can be seen, there are various ways to make friends in the dorm.
Some you may feel comfortable with, some you may not, but with the copious options mentioned, it is likely that even a small portion will apply to your arena of comfort and attraction and aid in the not-so-always-easy quest for friendship in the dorms.
And please always remember:
A friend allows you to be who you are and how you are without putting holes in your bucket.
