I am in my third month of grad school and all of this is SO true! How is everyone else who is in grad school doing?

I'm not doing as bad as I thought. It's kind of hard having to adjust to THINKING instead of just memorizing the material. I was laughed at when I asked will our final exam be multiple choice, in one of my classes.
As for work load, it isn't bad at all. It's about the same as undergrad. Of course, I'm taking half the hours though. Social life is pretty much the same too. There are several undergrads who are my age and even a few years older, so I fit in well. I'm not forced to hang around those weird 35 y/o grad students with the roller bookbags.
I think the difficulty depends on the school and program. I'm going to a state school to get a career in student services, not an Ivy League to get a career in Aeronautical Engineering. To me, I feel more like a 6th year senior than a first year grad student. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed of that, lol.
