>Is there anyone who feels the same or has been through this?

25, postdoc, I don't think I quite identify with your situation but have you tried to hangout with your classmates ? you know, those people who study the same field as you and have similar aspiration ? if you are doing something that remotely requires effort then I doubt ALL of your classmates would be the same as your party loving roommates...Form a study group, get to know them ? do assignments together ?

On the other hand, I think I'm quite the opposite of you, I work in computational harmonic analysis and I still live in campus, I prefer to hangout with the younger, wilder bunch living next door than my more mature colleagues, both groups are fun, but in one group I am the cool guy and as for the other group I'd prefer to talk to them about recent development in PDEs rather than, say, hitting on girls.

I feel your pain deeply. But most kids our age up until late 20s are a bunch of twats.

There are those out there like you! You will have to search far and wide, a connection can be found.


Dont be rowdy in grad school senpai

Your a nerd and will never really fit in. Thats just how people are, maybe you should run into others like yourself, but because you're normally introverted you dont really know cause theres little communication.

Live with it or change.

Well you're indeed a rare female specimen. Let's meet and procreate after you graduate and start working.

But seriously, just be honest with your friends, if they're really friends they will understand and let you be as they go back to gobble on random cocks for their remaining youthful looking years.

Are your dorm mates also on masters? It seems crazy that they could be partying all the time if that's the case.

At any rate, as above said, you should just try and hang out more with your intellectual/field peers rather than your age/dorm peers. People who are also in your course will have a similar workload and as such, a similar interest in getting trashed.

As for your money issue, it is inherently a little snobbish (not in a bad way though) and I think you'll struggle to find a lot of university students who are willing to for out $15 a pint when they can get them for 6-8 with a student card.

Yeah, my classmates are understanding me a bit better, but they don't live in my dorm sadly. We are thinking to form a study group later in the semester though.

Thanks! I guess I'll survive.

They're not really friends yet, we just met a week ago and during freshers' week everyone was partying all the time which I couldn't do because budget. So maybe that got me looking a bit antisocial. Oh well.

Yeah they are actually- one of them is in exchange here and the others are having sciencey fields, which is why I don't get how they have so much free time to party. Anyway... yeah I did get a couple of odd looks for going to a well-known local microbrewery rather than just attending the freshers' week free booze parties.

>I am honestly passionate about my field
>I don't want to be 'that girl' that always is locked in her room and studying

Pick one. No pain, no gain, as they say.

Well,you don't need to do what the others are doing just to fit with them. Explain them that you have other goals and if they are true friends they will understand you,if not you don't need to waste time and money with them!
