To give some perspective.

I don't communicate with anyone I was friend with in college except an occaisional email and a Christmas card to ONE friend. My good friends are ones I've made since then through accident.

It took me over 5 years to finish college, I was 24 before I graduated.

I married at 23.

I didn't get settled into the career I'm at now until I was 27. My Career sortof "happened" to me I never really planned it.

The feelings you have about panicing and finding friends is much the same as I felt that last year I was in college. Just keep your options open, get imaginative, look for possibilities, and don't worry. Your time will come when you'll find what you need to do. You will find friends that fit you better than your college buddies. I think that was a good choice to let the girlfriend go. If she doesn't understand the urgency of keeping to your studies for now then she needs to get a reality check. Life will always get in the way of things. You gotta roll with the punches.

I also know the feeling about doing well on your classes. You are on the right path though. Keep concentrating on what's important right now. That degree is worth something. I makes you a more valuable employee to any company simply because it says that you can stick with something long enough to finish the job. That's not even considering the knowledge you've gained that you don't even know you'll use yet. You'll be surprised. Good Luck.

Calixtus - You are only 25. Yeah maybe a quarter of a century old but in life it really means nothing. Some people find their nitch early on and some take longer. Be content with where you are and look for opportunity. Be ready when it comes knocking because it WILL. You can count on that if you are working for it.
