Here's to the college students that keep the coffee industry running because of all of the all- nighters that they pull to get their homework done or studying. Here's to the person who is going on their third night without sleep. To the person that needs to study the most because they have something to prove to the people in their life that they can do anything that they put their mind too. Here's to the girl sitting in the computer lab that doesn't live on campus or have a computer at home. We are all this person at some point or another. We may or may not be in the same situation at the same time but we have all been there. Lord knows I have, for some it's okay to put off that paper until two weeks before it's due (guilty party here), for others though, we stay up tirelessly looking up the information or listening to lectures again and again because we think that we might have missed something that might be on the test. This is for you, for those who just can't stop working when they get on a roll. College students, grad school students, lawyers, and doctors-- you all deserve a round of applause because you guys understand what it is like to work until all hours of the night just to get everything done that needs to be done. Everyone needs to tell a college student or someone who is up at all hours of the night that they are appreciated and that they are doing a great job. It really does make a difference in a person's life to just tell them that they are doing a good job. Just remember that this could be you one day if it already isn't you. Finally, here's to the students that have faced all the odds that were against them and got their work done, went to work, and wrote that twenty page research paper that was put off until the last minute. Look at it this way: by the time that you are done with your degree, you will have put in more than your fair share of sleepless nights and it will be worth it in the end. Just remember that sleep is good for you every now and then, and get it so that you don't look like a zombie when you go to class in the middle of the week and scare all of the freshmen.
Here's to the ones who stay up and do their homework at all hours of the night.
