If I took one night off every time someone said "one night off won't kill you", I would never study. Anyone else hear this constantly from friends, family, co-workers (that haven't done the CPA journey), etc.?
Seems like no one understands when I tell them I can't take "just one night" off... The CPA exam is about commitment and I always feel like it's impossible to explain to others that don't know first hand.
It's tough... Try to force myself not to feel guilty for blowing off friends and family. Can't wait to be done with the CPA exam and have a life again.
