Starting conversations with strangers

So I've spent the last few years working 60+ hours a week, but I made the decision to go back to college and finish a 4 year.
I'm not significantly older than my peers, and were I a senior we'd be equal ages (23-ish), so it's not like I'm a balding middle aged man trying to meet people on campus.
But here's the problem: I don't know how to start conversations. Every conversation I've had in the last 4 years has been purely transactional. "Hey we need this done" or "Hey I need you to help with that" or whatever. I have no idea how to just start friendly conversation with somebody next to me.
Why would I bug them? The teacher is lecturing. They're on their phone. They have earbuds in or are working on a paper or fucking whatever. It just seems so rude to me to interrupt them.
And even if I were to do so, then what? I have nothing to really discuss. I don't know the person, what the fuck is there to say?
