The Stages of an All Nighter

No sleep or fail?

The Stages of an All Nighter

Every all nighter is different, but the one thing we can all agree on is no one wants to have to pull an all nighter. Some all nighters will be the most interesting nights of your college career, but the days after will be some of the worst. Over the past month, I have had to pull 5 all nighters and these are some of the moments you can expect during yours:

8:00pm- You realize you have more work left to do than you thought you did.


9:00pm- You find a friend that is also in panic mode, so you decide to keep each other sane.

10:00pm- You attempt to schedule out your night so you won’t be up all night.

11:00pm- You remember that really important thing from that thing on that website you HAVE to look at.

12:00am- You finally decide to start working. After you make coffee.

1:00am- You have never felt so motivated that you breeze through your Calculus and English homework.


2:00am- You get through four chapters of Anatomy before realizing all the answers are inside of you. Ha. Get it.

3:00am- You look back at the paper you just wrote and wonder if you are literate.

4:00am- Your study buddy finishes their work. Leaving you alone. So alone.

5:00am- You wake up, all of a sudden, not realizing you had fallen asleep. Thus, losing an hour of study time.

6:00am- You begin to feel kind of loopy and need to move around.

7:00am- You double check all of your work and hope it really does all make sense.


8:00am- You print out your work. Close your laptop. Get coffee. Pray that you don’t fall asleep in your 9:00am.

9:00am- You leave a lasting impression on your 9:00am class and professor.

10:00am- You get back to your room and have never been happier to see your twin bed.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
