Start a programming club. Put up a few signs in some coffee shops and see what happens. If you can get three or five other people who are interested, you can use Sedgewick as your lecturer when he does Algorithms early next year. Watch the lectures together, talk about the material, you'll learn a lot more than you will just watching them alone.
I know "social media" is a nice buzzword, but people really don't do well when they live in complete isolation from each other and only interact with phantoms on screens. They tend to get stupid.
