I'm in university now but I still have problems with balancing my social life to my work life. I'm in direct med school, so I have come straight out of high-school. I'm not used to the self-discipline studying every day. I have good methods for studying and stuff. I don't need help with that. Instead, I have this weird thing where I don't like being left out or not being there at social gatherings. It sounds a wee bit stupid but I don't want to be the person that missed out on something cool or funny or anything memorable. However, because of this weird phobia? thing, I end up going out at nights with people who aren't in such an intense program as mine so they can afford to have nights out constantly, whereas I can't. This puts a strain in my grades. There will even be nights where I will ask myself, "Why did I come out? There's nothing special happening." I need help getting over this weird..... phobia... thing.... (I'm not really sure where this question goes under what category... so I'll just put it here...)
