There comes a day where every college student realizes they must pull an all-nighter to finish their homework. Sometimes we do it to ourselves through watching Netflix, staying out with friends, cleaning our room, or just to avoid having to do homework. Occasionally, some of us have had an intensely busy week and are forced to cram all of our studies into one night. Michael Scott has embodied the average college student in more ways than one, and now he can explain the different stages of having to pull an all-nighter. No matter how we got into this sticky situation, it is here and we now will go through the seven stages of pulling an all-nighter:

1. Disbelief

There is no way that I have multiple assignments, an online quiz, and readings due the next day. Is it already Sunday?

2. Denial

Well, there is nothing to stress about because there is no way you are going to stay up all night for homework. It will all be good eventually...

3. Bargaining

Maybe if I just finish one assignment the rest can be late... after all, it is only 10 percent a day.

4. Guilt

This cannot keep happening. Where did I go wrong? I know I avoid my homework, but how did I let it ever get this bad?

5. Anger

This is just not happening! I need a full 8 hours of beauty sleep, which this homework cannot be in my life right now.

6. Depression

This is my life now. I completely deserve every consequence, as I am the maker of my own disaster. Maybe I will make it to see the light of day, or maybe I will fall asleep on my laptop and burn my face. Either way, I put myself here.

7. Acceptance

This is the worst possible scenario to be in at the moment. However it is my own doing, and there is no one to blame but myself. No matter how many cups of coffee it takes to get me through the entire night, it will get done. Once the acceptance stage has set in, I can fully work on what I am supposed to without distractions, other than late night snacking of course.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
