Is it normal to not hang out with my roommates?

I'm a college student and I live in an off campus student apartment with three other girls. They are upset because I like to spend time in my room. I am taking 18 hours this semester, I'm in the college band, and I am very involved in a social club. My days are usually over around nine and when I get back to the apartment I just like to work on homework, study, and go to bed. My roommates are all seniors and all around the age of 25. I am 19. I wouldn't expect for people this old to care so much about something like this. Two of my roommates are best friends and they have their own group of friends and I have mine. We don't have much in common and we have a huge age difference. I am never rude to them and I talk to the one whose bedroom is next to mine on a daily basis. We're not close friends but I thought we were getting along. They say I never come out of my room, but I'm never really there because of my busy schedule. Is it so wrong to want some alone time after a long day?

    Sounds like you are doing fine and taking care of business. You do not have to please them in what little spare time you have. If they were your soul buddies, you would want to be with them..and you don't. Trust your own self here!

    thats sitcom material right there XD and in the end of every episode you sit at the table drinkin a cold beer or some water while simply staring at eachother then you say:
    how was your day ladies?
    then the credits will roll :D

    Oh the experience of roommates. Just do what you have to do. Your decisions aren't causing them any problems so I don't know why they're making a big deal about it.
