Is it really that bad? Why is being an animation student so stressful?

I'm just asking because it's something I looked into, but never decided on (partially 'cause I heard stuff like this). Right now I'm just a liberal arts major, so I haven't had to stay up more than 24 hours yet. Which almost makes me feel like I'm not working hard, listening to these other stories...
