I'd start by shooting things that I like. What kind of photography are you interested in? Are you going to shoot all your pictures with natural light? Do you know how to control exposure? Do you know about DOF?

What is the portfolio for I know you said college, but maybe a few more details. Is it an all-around portfolio or does it have to be one subject type? If it is an all-around that's easy. Some landscapes, some portraits, some macros a few night shots and maybe a few black and whites. Subject matter could be most anything that holds interest to you, people, flowers, bugs ect...

Sounds like you might need to learn your camera a bit more and how to use it as well as the art or photography before you worry about a folio.
