Out of my friend group in highschool I am the only one to have their bachelor's degree in 4 years and the only one with a real big boy job at the moment. All of them are either graduating late, dropped out, or never went to college. They are all working as bartenders/waiters/car salesmen. My relationship with my GF is amazing and she's super based (voted for Trump in '16). I didn't meet anyone in college outside of my roommates from freshman year. I'm still buddies with 2-3 people so not like I had zero friends but it was a huge shift socially as I went from partying every Friday/Saturday and knowing 500+ people to just grinding school. Not sure I would recommend what I did exactly but I think deliberately choosing to be disciplined and getting your shit together will dramatically improve your life.
