I wouldn’t say “swamped.” Busy certainly, but never swamped. I guarantee neither ever spent a Friday night studying in the library. Both had time for fun stuff. Both had active social lives. Both participated in recreational sports. Both had a circle of friends, went to parties, to concerts, out to bars on Friday/Saturday nights once they were old enough. D2 was an active member of her sorority.

Learning how to achieve a work-life balance is a critical skill for pre-meds, med students and physicians. Burn out is a real issue.
