I don't know about a complete break but I would lighten the load. I took 6 classes this semester and it's draining as hell. I'm going to take 3 classes over the summer and go back to just 4 classes during fall and spring. Some progress is better than stagnation. Even if you only took one or two classes that's better than nothing.

I found staying off my phone/laptop 3 hours before bed and taking low dose melatonin (like .25-.5mg) helped. I've read that the body produces melatonin in small amounts (.25mg), so most store bought kinds that come in 3mg tablets can cause an inverse stress response and keep you awake. I got around this by buying it as a liquid with a dropper that serves at a fraction of a mg per serving.
It's really all about maintaining a schedule and winding down before bed. Even doing leisurely things like standing at my desk on my laptop can get my brain into a work mindset, which is terrible before bed. I got out of my schedule and now I am having sleep probs again.
As a PS, I recommend f.lux for your devices. Blocks blue light which suppresses melatonin.

Spoiler Given the state of factory farming, I'd say eating beef is more morally questionable.
That being said, I have no idea what condition prawns are kept in inside fisheries. I'm fairly confident they can feel pain, at least.
Prawn and fish farming is about the same, shit tonnes of them squashed in a cage in the sea/lake with antibiotics doused over the them to keep them healthy. So condensed into one spot that the waste from a cage can pollute the area around it, in lakes starting eutrophication.
That aside, I weigh it by relative abundance. Beef coming from 0.whatever of a cow, out of a total of several billion cows, puts the % quite low. Prawns I reckon would have even lower %, even if you ate 30 whole ones as the numbers in the wild and farmed would be in the 10's of billions.
Beetles... the best surviving creature on Earth. Coming into the trillions, with the beetle alone probably reaching several 10's of billions, the % used comes even lower.
The numbers I'm pulling out of my arse to be fair, but that is how I'd weigh it morally. Interestingly enough, that puts eating one human at a higher % than most other animals...except maybe pandas and polar bears.
So you measure the ethics of situation by the ratio of things killed against the total population?

I'm not familiar with the mental faculties of fish and if/how they are farmed and prepared.
If they are farmed in a pond/lake, I assume they are not even aware they are in captivity due to natural boundries as opposed to being placed in a fenced area or pen. I would say they have it better than cows.

Sam Raimi felt he couldn't get the script right for Spiderman 4 and so he told Sony it was best to pass the torch.
Marc Web decided to do a darker retelling starting over but aside from a few aspects (web swinging, Peter's interaction with his love interest, and ASM2 costume), it was less well received. Garfield was upset that higher ups fiddled with the original "perfect" script and interfered with the creative direction of ASM2. That's why he blew them off for the dinner thing mentioned earlier, which offended them. This was at a time when there was an email exchange between Marvel and Sony about shared rights of Spiderman. Marvel wanted the rights back to SM in full but Sony still wanted to bank off him and movie merchandise, so the best they'd compromise was to offer a split where they pretty much let Marvel do all the hard work and sony still gets payed large sums of money.

I don't know if I would go so far as to say that they have a "strangle hold on college campuses". I mean - there are a lot of ignorant Bernie supports - but I haven't seen or heard of any sort of typical "regressive leftist" behavorial things.

Soldiers have sworn to uphold the constitution, not be drones for the government. Twice the government created problems so create it took Cap and his band of heroes to save the day.
Tony Stark is practically the equivalent to Snitch Nigga Randal, creating problems, then running to the big government to up the rules for everyone because he couldn't handle his position.

I would say so. My profile picture symbolizes myself. The dark clouds overhead are like the shroud that follows me irl, representing the dark events in my life. The bright horizon represents my bright future - slowly approaching. The forklift in the forefront is a metaphor for my character. An underappreciated, poorly recognized uplifter. My duty is to raise others.

I get joy out of helping people.
What kind of sick, twisted freak are you??
On a serious note; quite the trait you've got there.
Does doing good really bring enough joy to you?
I don't know if I can have enough joy. I do know helping people has also helped me though. It's corny, but I've borrowed some principles from fiction to frame my character off of.

because that's what's evolutionarily best for the species
Who cares?
If our goal as productive humans is to make life easier for future generations and prevent/reduce suffering, and being unhealthily overweight drastically increases the likely hood of passing on genes that are harmful, then everyone with a brain should care.
