I was always the one that was the "old man" in my group. So what? I graduated college with a double major in Economics and Sociology, was a 36-hour per week bakery manager at the store that I worked at, and was sober about 2 out of 7 nights per week. My friends and I partied almost every day, including playing frisbee every day at 4 and poker every day at 9. My GPA was a 3.75.

My point is that you don't have to let the fun go in order to do well. In fact, we HATED people like you - the ones who were more concerned with reading a book than enjoying themselves. I was in the top 10% of my class, and I don't think I saw the inside of the library more than 5 times a year. There needs to be a equal balance between fun and study. In the end, college will be remembered as a time of great friendships and networking - trust me, you won't remember, or care about, most of the junk that you're spending time studying.
