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.

Who said it was? But seriously, you're not going to get serious answers because it is a ridiculous question. There is no issue here. Focus on your work and don't date if you don't want to. Not that hard to do. Or, lighten up and try to balance your life a little. It is simple. You're not going to lose control and go all sexually emotionally crazy. The only odd part is that you're only thinking about sex now. Chances are you can't avoid it. So what? J/O when you have to and chill out.
Date a girl in your department, or at least another grad student. Don't meet girls by going out; instead, meet them at department functions. A girl who works as hard as you will understand.

What's odd about it? I just don't want to lose track of myself. I can't go back to being who I was before (it was so much better back then) so I have to find ways not ruin everything I built for myself. In addition, I'm not a top student anymore so I have to be even more careful.

It's odd that someone probably in their early 20s (or 19) that is about to start grad school is only now noticing the opposite sex. Yeah, it happens, but generally it happens FAR earlier. Unusual may be a better word.
The opposite sex isn't something to be feared and relationships aren't destructive forces (good ones are the opposite).
First off, it's okay to notice girls. They're also okay to talk to. Remember the old saying, "all work and no play, makes PluBoy a dull boy." So, plan on having some fun while studying, just make sure you moderate it so it doesn't adversely affect your grades.
