Meanwhile, I'm across the river ~10-15 min away, and usually have no desire to go out and party with them. They've been telling me they miss me being around and close enough on campus. I don't think they understand though. They're all busy with grad school and stuff, but it's still the same school thing for them. I'm busy with this whole new life now - work, apartment, cat, my own space. I'm perfectly happy with sitting my computer chair and not moving, having bills and shit, generally being a real person (most of the time). I feel like I'm disappointing them by not being exactly the same as I was senior year - but I gave less than 0 shits about anything last year. Maybe they'll get it once they're "real adults". | ||

Like, my girlfriend lives in a house with all her friends (and I'm close with the friend group as well) who are all grad students now since we graduated in May.

But last year I was just across campus from them, so I could go hang out all the time Now I actually have to get into my car and drive through Springfield to get to them - it's inconvenient, and after a day of work I really just prefer to sit and play with my cat/computer edit: also, they have been more apt to going out to really crowded college bars (ones that I didn't like when I was still in college), which isn't my scene. | ||

If you are, then do what wei said. | ||

I guess it's just weird for me. They're still in the same world they've been in for over 4 years. I've been thrown into real life, and it is a stark difference in attitudes now. I sometimes just wonder if they realize it. | ||

How is it that you have time now? I suppose not everyone`s kid is like mine and you don`t have to be paranoid about going into them at all hours of the night? | ||

I'm guessing this is also in no small part because most of your college friends were also athletes, given that you were an athlete at what you said is an athletic school. I went to a big state school so I technically had a lot of options, but due to being around my teammates pretty much all the time, they ended up being the majority of my friends, and they tend to spend free time very stereotypically(it's a stereotype for a reason!). Also, they're in the first semester of grad school, the difficulty of their programs may not have hit them yet. That doesn't necessarily change their attitudes though, just the time they have to spend asking you to come drink with them. All of this post could be wrong, it's 100% anecdotal from my own experience playing football and transitioning to PT school(although I was out of school for a couple years in between). | ||

Your post isn't 100% wrong, just mostly =P They're mostly PT majors. The PT program at SC is a 3 year undergrad/3 year grad program, so this is technically their 2nd year of grad work even though they walked at graduation in May lol It's because their atmosphere hasn't changed, and I'm not sure they realize how different mine is. | ||

I suppose not everyone`s kid is like mine and you don`t have to be paranoid about going into them at all hours of the night? Most weekend afternoons are baby and mom nap time = LoL time. Sometimes my wife wants to watch a tv show in the evening and I play a game or two then. The kid is definitely something but taking care of a house which always needs something done despite being in good shape and job that asks I work more than 40 hours is almost more of a pain imo. I like the responsibility of my baby  I still play volleyball and frisbee on a weekly basis depending on season and lift not as much as I'd like but still make it to the gym and meet up with friends for games and stuff. It's crazy and it just means less time to just grind a ladder or get into more than one game at a time lol.College was an awesome time of life. Don't you dare waste it lol. Also, my wife and I talk a lot about how different things are with friends that are a) in college b) single c) married without kids. Every layer just makes things different. It gets to 11pm and you're like wow when are people leaving I want to go to bed where as in college it was like, we got a few hours to whatever we want and go out! | ||
