<human>: Hello all,

In grad school and I love the grad school. Would not change the type of program I'm in for the world since I love it and it's what I want to do. I am extremely lucky for that and should always than my stars to have this privilege that others would dream of.  But starting grad school for the long haul is tough because the only people I ever interact with are those in my class. They for the most part are great people, but many are already in relationships or or not looking to start one. I used to be able to meet people doing hobbies I enjoyed, but here I either do not have time for such hobbies or for one reason or another said hobbies are not available. As grad students in our field the pressure is to be perfect in everything, but as humans that is decidedly not so. Perhaps it is the life of a grad student, but it's tough being expected to excel in everything and study all the time yet feel lonely in an unfamiliar city. One could say it's better to not have time for such distractions, but there has to be something more to this than just studying. How do people cope with being in a totally new city without the hobbies they loved while not having time to go meet anyone outside the program?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: For those of you who moved to an unfamiliar city for work or grad school how did you balance social life when school is everything?
