Just stand up and walk around at least every hour. You can't really die but you can get blood clots especially in the legs from a lot of sitting and not moving around. Just a few minutes of being on your feet walking around the computer will help so much. You don't have to stand to do school work just move around a little every hour or so.

I suggest you follow the ergonomic procedures while working at your computer. Make sure you are sitting correctly, with feet flat on floor and back straight. You should move around, hourly, to encourage blood flow and to rest the strain on the eyes.
Remember: Following appropriate procedures TODAY will eliminate the aches and pains of TOMORROW.

You can't die from sitting, but you should go outside ever once in a while for some fresh air and exercise.
