    As a CS student, my physical health wasn’t allowed to matter, either.

      You know what I’d really love nothing more than to do over Thanksgiving and spring break? Multiple CS assignments all conveniently given right before the break and due right after! Free time? Time with family? What’s that?

        I know this is a cliche, but I’ve never said it before: I wish I could upvote you more than once.

        And it’s not just CS classes. Most classes at the college and above level do this to you. You don’t get a vacation. You get more work than usual, while also having a family expecting you to engage in prolonged social activities. And almost every class does this, particularly at the higher levels. So your workload is massive.
