First, understand that a lot of the drinks you may have loved in college (Jello Shots and that kind of thing come to mind), are pretty much "beginners" drinks -- and kind of trite.
Look at a bartenders guide and maybe try a couple of traditional drinks and see what you like.
I don't think you'll ever go wrong (socially) with a martini, gin and tonic, Manhattan, Scotch, Bourbon or other drink that any mixologist in the world will understand -- not just somebody at a college bar.
Oh, and avoid anything with little paper umbrellas in them.
As an aside, it great to watch a real mixologist at work. Someone who is a career bartender and knows how to make something more than throwing in a shot and adding something fizzy.
