I had a similar situation when I was in school. I was constantly working/doing school stuff so she started going out to bars a lot with her friends. I got butthurt at times but we're doing fine now. Looking back, I wish I had been more involved in going out with them and enjoying myself more. I deserved it at the time and now we have kids so we are stuck at home all the time now.
First of all, are you working? You said you have class from early morning to the afternoon and homework for the rest of the day. How many credit hours are you taking? It must be a lot if all you can do is school. I took 12 credit hours (engineering) and I had class in the morning, work in the evening and homework in between. I was still able to find time to socialize with my gf (wife now). If you have such a stressful workload, maybe you should consider dropping a class or two. As a related note, the degree is just a piece of paper. Keep a reasonable GPA but in the end you don't need a perfect record. Relax and let yourself have some fun.
Second, have you thought about it from her perspective? It sounds like she's supporting you through college and doesn't get much of a chance for quality time with you because of your schedule. So to fill the void, she's found new friends to hang out with. Maybe you need to be more active in HER life rather than trying to force her into a little box.
