Well this will be random but I could use the advice. Over the past couple years I've gradually reached a point in my college career where I'm not interested in the whole redundancy of partying 24/7 (though I do enjoy drinking occasionally). Which, considering the amount of course work I have, has been a blessing. My friends that I had things in common with (kayaking, camping, etc.) have all gone off and joined the military or attend different universities. I've realized that the only thing I have in common with my current friends is the partying. It's the only thing their interested in and they are very uncompromising when it comes to trying something new! In fact, my standing on the sidelines and watching them party has led me to realize how boring they are! I'm tired of it and I'm trying to acclimate myself to the mindset of being a healthy young professional. My one friend, who is in cell biology with me, is always late to class, never studies, does poorly on the course work, then complains that his poor performance is due to the quality of the instructor; it really is starting to disgust me but I bite my lip instead of being matter-of-fact. Maybe I need to try and not adopt a holier-then-thou attitude, but I really feel I need to move on with my life and distance myself from these people. So, for those of you who have experienced this, how did you do it? Did it end well? Could you still be friends with these people afterward? Do you still appreciate the friendships? How did you meet new people that had similar interests?
Thanks!
Thanks!
