Hey everyone, This is my first post in the forum. I'll be starting a research-based Master's program this Fall, and I've heard from several people that for similar MA/PhD programs, the first year is the most arduous. I will be taking three courses each semester as well as a thesis to complete before the year is over. I'm normally extremely social, to the point where i tend to get lonely and sometimes depressed just from being by myself. I can get easily distracted by something like Facebook, and I increasingly feel the need to use it just so I'm not so disconnected from my friends / family. Speaking of friends and family, I've lived in the same small town my whole life, where everyone I know is just a short drive away, and I will now be moving to a big city a few hours away... though I do have a few friends who now live there. I guess what I'm trying to ask is how can I adopt this new grad student lifestyle - one in which I'll be working mostly in solitude? Before this, it was easy to head to a friend's with a laptop and do light work while hanging out... But I don't think that will be the case anymore. Thank you in advance!
