Taking an entire day off once a week a bad idea?

If you have to work so hard at your studies that you work 24/7 and don’t give yourself time for fun/hobbies/etc on the weekends, perhaps you are in a school that is really too tough for you, or studying a major that is not using your natural abilities, intellect, and interests. Donald Trump even gives himself time to travel, go to parties and fancy dinners, etc. Things should not be so difficult that you can’t also take time to do other things!
I once had a colleague who would stay late at work all the time, leaving hours after everyone else. Our boss ended up telling her that it didn’t reflect well - that to him, he questioned why she needed to take so much time to do what others could accomplish during the regular work day…I was young and just starting out, and it made me consider that comment to her deeply. I think he was right.

Nonsense. Try telling that to any engineering or physical science/math major and we wouldn’t have much engineers or scientists today. Especially at state schools like Uchicago where grade deflation is rampant and they tend to do major weeding out in the first 2 years. Not everyone has it easy as business and social science majors.</p>
