    There are plenty of studious music majors, plenty of liberal arts majors capable of catching up with their C.S. major peers with a year or so of dedicated study, and plenty of people who party hard and are still qualified and capable to do the work that you do. Your comment reads more like sour grapes about your own college experience than anything else ;)
