4 years without a social life is a small price to pay for a lifetime of having to settle because you burned bridges by trying to be Superman when you didn't have to.

Some people can't handle the balance. Others can (I guess that's Superman-like). It's good you acknowledged that and didn't dive in over your head. I guess the best advice keenan87 can take is to figure out whether he's able to find balance in his life or not. If he can't, live at home; if he can, find it and have a great 4-5 years.
