I currently am a freshman in College currently attending Summer Session at my college.

My girlfriend and I (dating for over a year) both decided we wanted to go to the same college just because we share the same morals and ideas and love each other.

When thinking of being a freshman in college, usually the first thing that comes to mind is partying and getting extremely intoxicated. I really never got into the whole drinking scene and really do not feel pressured or feel the need to get "shitfaced" or even drink for that matter until I am over 21, and once that time comes, if I have a drink, I have a drink it really will be and is insignificant to me.

My girlfriend and I are extremely close and I feel like I really do not need anyone else but her. Unfortunately, the college we attend is an extreme party school, therefore most all the guys are partiers.

Is it wrong of me to really not want to make friends with anyone there? I just feel that all I really need to focus on is my school and my girlfriend and then I'll have the rest of my life to have a good time because while everyone else was messing around I was getting stuff done.

I don't know I just feel as if I'm on a mission and I'm so set and I'm so driven on what I want to do, and how I want her in my plans, I don't anyone or anything getting in the way or messing that up.

Is my thought process wrong? Am I weird for feeling this way? The one main reason why my girlfriend and I did want to go to the same college with each other is because we both mutually felt that we were both the kind of person we would want to eventually spend the rest of our lives with. I treat her as best as I can and go out of my way to be the best I can for her and be the supportive man that I strive to be.

In a sense I feel that yeah many people say that in Highschool many people are so immature, but when you go to college it's very different. I do not disagree with this statement, however I feel that people are immature, but just on a more mature level of immaturity then compared to highschool. I know that may not make sense, but I want to go to college to better myself and get an education, however many people there just party and really act like complete idiots.

Would really like some deep insight into this, it has been toiling in my mind for awhile now

I think that's a pretty insular view of life. But you can easily avoid the "college lifestyle" at college if you wanted to.
