I started seeing this girl.. She is always busy and always has a lot of cool things with friends or her own hobbies/stuff going on.

I have about 3 things going on and one of them is her. So I am wondering how to hold her interest or is just being my same old self enough?

Being the same old self is enough. If she can't handle it move on and find another.

My friend, if being yourself is not enough, maybe she's not the one for you. However if there is an interest she pursues that you believe you could undertake as well, maybe you should ask to join her. You don't want to fundamentally change who you are, but opening yourself up to new interests may help.

Good luck!

alternative girl or decision?

I am just a bored person in general. I mean I have a job and everything and I like to go out and have fun but theres no real BIG COOL thing about me. I don't climb mountains, I don't volunteer to help needy people, I do no extreme sports or sports of any kind, Ive got like a few good friends...

You are who you are. And you seem to be in tune with it. Usually people have the opposite problem. That is they think everything about them is of utmost interest to all others. You at least don't seem to suffer from an inflated sense of self. That alone has an immense amount of appeal to some women. Maybe the one you are interested in. Don't try to be something you're not. If you're patently "uncool" then embrace it. Don't try to force anything because you'll likely fall flat on your face.

Are you OK with this? ^^

If you're asking this question about keeping her interested, it means you are insecure about your own lifestyle.

So if YOU don't think you're enough for her, she won't either.

If you think this girl is cooler than you, why are you trying to go for her?

You need to be yourself. If thats not good enough for her, then she isn't that cool anyway.

Love thyself, there you will find love of others.

So get some hobbies. Use this as a chance to try some new activities to find something that turns you on. Or ask her, after you know her better, if you can join her in some of her cool activities.

You don't have to compete with her to be cool. But if you think you're kind of a dud (sounds like you're beginning to wonder if you are), do something about that. Branch out with your life. Experiment. Take a couple of classes, learn a new skill or two. Photography. Hang-gliding. Whatever.
