I'm in the 2nd semester of my 1st yr in nursing school and my social life has plummeted becuz i'm always studying or working 12 hr shifts at the hospital to survive my college life. Therefore, I haven't been able to make any friends...I'm a bit disappointed because I didn't think I was going to be sooo busy. Now, I have sucumbed to myspace and for some reason it i'm addicted and it kind of doesn't help me feel better...it actually makes me feel worse. I'm planning on to join a club next semester if time willing...any advice? Ah, being a grown-up is hard and reality stinks but I just hope I can find others that are mature and not collaboraters if u know what I mean.

aaa with all the due respect..if you get addicted to myspace you are not much of an adult..grow up! for your social life..you will live with out it plus you can gain it back if you really wanted to by meeting people at work or clubs in school..you create your own destiny

I know how you feel. First, write down how you want you life to be right now, your vision, and how can you make it that way. Stay determined to reach your goals and try not to work so much. Get a work-study job, beg the parents, or even take out a school loan. I'm an upcoming senior and my social life is boring and I blame it on working all the time. I feel like I missed the fun part of college. Do join interesting clubs and organizations next semester and try to make a friend or two.

Although you are submerged in your studies at this time and it may seem like an eternity the truth is that this is such a short moment in your life and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Try and make connections with your classmates, start up a study group, make time during your busy days at the hospital to grow bonds with your co-workers, lunch dates, dinner dates. Hopefully you are not confusing "social" life with "night" life because there really are many ways and many hours during the day in which to socialize. Make time for you. One last piece of advise if you have time for myspace then you have time to have a sit down meal or even a drink with someone from school, work or even a family member, get yourself noticed and give yourself exposure it'll all work it self out.... if anything at least by graduation day :0) Good Luck

join a gym. this will give u the chance to get away from all of the work once in a while, and it will help you to time-manage. if u have to organize your schedule around both ur schoolwork and some other sort of goal (in this case, physical), ull be less likely to waste time on silly things. i know how it is. i find myself spending way more time than i ever expect to on the internet. just avoid even getting on ur computer unless ur using it for work or something. dont get on thinking ull only spend a couple minutes messing around, cause it usually doesnt work out that way. --oh, and maybe ull meet some ppl at the gym too, or if u happen to meet someone elsewhere, it makes for a good invite. theres always someone looking for a workout buddy

We all have to make sacrifices. Nothing is ever gained for free unless you are Paris Hilton. So, my advice to you is to make friends with the people in your class. They share the same interest. Another is the people at work. Through them you will meet other people and go from there. Joining a club of some sort like you mentioned is also a great idea.

It's okay - your long hours of work and study will soon pay off, and not only will you have free time, you'll have cash to spend! Just do yourself a huge favor and stay away from on-line Lotharios. Wait until you have the time to find a living, breathing man to love you!
I wish you well!!!!!

You'll get used to being an adult, it grows on you. Stick with your studies and keep working. It will all be worth it.

Welcome to the world of adulthood. Focus on your studies. There is plenty of time for socializing later.
