Did you have a social life in university?

I went to a top school and I’m thinking many people did not have real social lives outside of their families, their churches, and their boyfriends / girlfriends. Your competing with hundreds of people equal to you in ambition and intelligence for the highest grade in the class and if you don’t grind and study, somebody else will take your place.

Yes

No

Only my family / boyfriend / girlfriend

I dont know about the culture where you are, but here (Netherlands) there is no drive to be the best of your class. Just passing the exams is good enough, and if you want higher grades, that is entirely up to you. So you have enough time to socialize with the people around you.

I have never heard of an employer asking for grades after getting your diploma. The university thinks you are good enough to get a diploma, then that is good enough for the company that wants to hire you. Perhaps it is different in occupations with a lot of people wanting a job and not much jobs available, but far more companies suffer from too much open vacancies.

still at university and nope, no social life, I had 2-3 friends I would hang out with like 1-2x a week but that kinda disappeared after 2019. Also never went to parties etc.
