Advice on making conversation when interested?

(19M) In college so most conversation starts on the topic of school. However most of the times I can't seem to move the conversation from small talk and safe topics to a more interesting conversation. Even whem I'm interested I can't seem to make the conversation interesting. How do you move away from small talk? Any advice on how to ask the right questions?
