Thoughts You Have While Pulling an All-Nighter by the Hour
YouTube

Deadlines sneak up on us. Finals loom over us. Students everywhere feel the pressure that always comes with the end of the semester. You can almost see the nights where you'll forgo sleep to catch up on last minute assignments.

I know as a college student, I'm definitely going to have my fair share of all-nighters in the next few weeks. These all-nighters aren't my first, but they're definitely not my last either.

Here are the many thoughts I have whenever I pull an all-nighter.


1. 10:00 p.m.

“OK, I’ve put this off for days and it’s due tomorrow. Need to get started ...”

*Five seconds of contemplation later*

“... but one more cat video never killed anyone.”



2. 11:00 p.m.

“Did I really just watch an hour of cat videos?”

*Checks time*

“Dear God, what have I done? I really need to start.”


3. 12:00 a.m.

“I think I’m making good time. Super focused now. If I keep going at this pace, I might be able to finish by 4, maybe 5?”

*Loses focus*

*Checks facebook and twitter*


4. 1:00 a.m.

*Surprisingly focused for an hour*

*1:58 a.m.*

“I worked hard for an hour. I deserve to post about this.”

*Insert snapchat post bragging about how productive I am*

5. 2:00 a.m.

“I’m gonna take a short break.”

*More cat videos*


6. 3:00 a.m.

“I can afford a quick 10-minute nap.”

*Passes out*


7. 4:00 a.m.

*Wakes up*

“How long was I out for?”

*Checks time*

“OH NO!”

*Panics*

“I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus. I need to focus.”

*Actually works really hard*



8. 5:00 a.m.

*Insert another snapchat post about how tired I am*

“Almost done. Home stretch!”


9. 6:00 a.m.

*Sun rises*

*Singing off-tune* “Here comes the sun.”


10. 7:00 a.m.

*Alarm goes off*

*Presses "submit" button*

*Vows to be more responsible and never pull an all-nighter again*

*Rinse and repeat*

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
