I will finish my degree next Summer (hopefully) and then I'll start a 2 year master's degree in environmental engineering. I will have to study about 13 hours a day for those two years. I'll have to breathe and eat it all the time.
I used to be a top student before coming to university. I didn't have to make any effort to stay focused or study because it all came naturally to me.
However, I started to notice girls about a year ago, I started going out at night and all that jazz. No girl has ever been interested in me but how can I prevent it from happening and destroying my path? How can I avoid thinking about sex?
I'm sure nothing will happen anyway but I just want to be on the safe side.
I don't see what the issue is. Stop going out and all that jazz. Based on your comment about girls never being interested in you, why are you worrying about it now?
You're going to be a Master's student and you can't figure this out? <facepalm>
It might work that way in the US but certainly not in Europe. Employers don't dictacte your personal life. I'm the one who decides what my balance is.
They don't dictate your personal life here either. What I was saying is that it will come across if school and studying are the only things you do. Employers are looking for more than that, they want people with outside interests mixed in. When I hire someone, school and grades might get you an interview, but it will be how you interact and your other activities that get you the job.

I am an A full time grad student, work full time and have a relationship. I think you'll be fine. People are juggling way more and manage fine even with kids and a house work and school.
A good peaceful life is all about balance - moderation in all things.
When you are too heavily weighted in one area and have no weight in another you are off kilter, out of balance, and it may be time to seek some professional help.
