What is a good way to mature very quickly?
I'm a 22 year old male, about to graduate from college after having commuted from my parents house to the state university for four years. I never got to live on campus, never got to join a fraternity, never got to party, had a girlfriend, or maintained any social relationship which will last after college.
I really feel that I missed out on a lot of crucial development points others got in college and am looking for a substitute for them once I enter the job market and (eventually) move into my own place.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, a lot of "maturing" experiences are things involving tragedy and not things that you can plan on.
Since you're still living in your parents' home, you might consider starting to pay them something per week for rent. (Hopefully you have some sort of job, even if it's not what you went to college for!) If they balk at taking money from you, ask them to keep it in an account for you that you will use when you need a large sum of money for your security deposit and first and last month's rent on your first apartment. That way you get into the habit of budgeting for essentials, and you won't be relying quite so much on your parents to support you. Contribute for food and electricity bills or at least take your parents out to a nice dinner once a week or so.
