It seems more like the problem is you and your goals. If you can't handle staying up until 4 and then getting a couple of hours of sleep before having to go to work, then you have to quit one of them. Stop blaming it on your friends.

you sound like a pretentious bitch...

your friends will be better off if you leave

You sound like this girl i used to see back in the day... she was very well educated working towards her PhD but couldnt stand the fact that i wasnt living up to my potential and completely dogged all of my friends for having no goals and they werent good enough for me to hang out with. (she always used to comment that she was at the higher end of the social pyramid and they were the bottom of it etc etc). Why cant you just be happy that you are working on bettering yourself and know that your friends will be happy for you and that you should return the favor. People in life have different paths in life and as long as they are content and happy to be on their specific path wtf are you to decide that its the wrong path? Do your own thing and if they are truly friends they will support you and maybe later in life your paths will cross again if you so choose

sounds like you already made up your mind and have your answer. personally, I wouldn't use OT to validate what you seem to have already decided. priorities in life change, relationships evolve and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. the only suggestions I would make would be twofold:

a) if these guys really are your friends, just have a conversation with them about what your feeling and why you want to step back.

b) don't look down on them because they don't share your priorities. most of OT will just make crass comments towards you instead of actually articulating a thought, but the "joke" life that you think that they are living, is just that, their life. do what you need to with yours, and support your friends as best you can in theirs.

My best friends from high school are still my best friends and most likely always will be. If you hang out with the same dudes every day for a decade, you're pretty much family. Doesn't matter how rich or famous or opposite of that any of them are. Cuz no matter, what, no matter how much time has passed, when you meet up, you still know them inside and out and vice versa for the remainder of your lives, and can talk on a level and understand each other's shit on a level pretty much nobody else can. Wouldn't trade that for anything. A good friend is for life.

almost everything that this man said

sounds like you need to grow the fuck up, accept your own responsibilities and start acting like a man( since you seem to think of yourself as one) and stop blaming your band for your doldrums....seriously your band has nothing to do with the rest of your life, grow the fuck up and accept your responsibilities....your band prlly sucks, and you will never make it as a golfer sooooooo why dont you just finish college and get a degree so that you can live an average life like everyone else.....seriously ur a "psych. major" and a "scratch golfer" you think that makes you better than your band mates? grab some fucking spine and stop acting like your better than your friends cause you go to college.......you seem like a joke person wise......

lol this is bullshit. His friends will probably be jealous and bitter and give him shit for not hanging out. Misery loves company.

Like someone else said tho it's not like you have to just cut all ties. Pick up more responsibility and tell them sorry but you can't hang out til 4 a.m. anymore. It would be funny tho if you are gone for a few months and they end up hitting the big time.

You move on from your friends when they start to have a negative impact on your life. You can give them a chance for this to change, but when it starts to get worse then its time to say adios
