I do have a life beyond studying, although it's not much of a social life. I take guitar lessons and am pretty serious about it. I go to the gym 4 days a week and now swim 2-3 days a week. I used to play Frisbee with two different leagues, but I injured myself and had to stop. I ride the bus to work and read history books which are not remotely relevant to my school work. I volunteer pretty regularly on Saturday mornings. Sometimes I volunteer with other young professional groups, although they have surprisingly few opportunities to do so. I show up at various social happy hours for a variety of groups of people my age, but I'm usually alone and don't know anyone there, making it hard to really break into the group. I go to a set of free concerts once a week, alone. I used to invite people I was interested in befriending, but now I don't because no one ever took me up on the offer. I can generally keep myself busy during the week, albeit without any company. But Fridays and Saturday nights are just killer for me.
