Hi, I am a college student who is crazy about learning real estate and anything else pertaining to financial freedom. As I have been on this journey I have become more and more secluded from my friends. I feel as if I become distracted from my goals if I spend too much time with them. I do admit it can get lonely, but my goals mean a lot to me. Am I wrong for being like this? Did any of you experience this shift at the beginning of your journey?

You are not wrong for doing this. Though I suggest meeting and spending time with successful real estate and/or business people. You can do this at local meet-ups (check BP to see if they have them).
Though it's also good to hang out with some fellow college students. If you don't know any who are into/interested in real estate I would check and see if there are any clubs on campus that could be similar (such as a business/finance club).
Even if you can't find a college group catered toward real estate it would be good to surround yourself with business-minded people who are driven.
