<p>I don't know why, but staying up all night writing a paper, overanalyzing stuff that's "not there" while listening to music, drinking tea, and eating granola makes me feel accomplished and collegiate. Anyone else enjoy the love/hate relationship with late night projects or papers?</p>
<p>Granted, I am feeling this towards the END of the paper. haha.</p>
<p>I felt like that three years ago. Now I am so tired of all nighters I am fully prepared to throw in the towel on my career and become a housewife. Seriously.</p>
<p>My paper is due in an hour and a half and I still have three pages uuuuuuugh.</p>
<p>I’m sure I’ll get to that point sooner than later. I am currently, or was, reading like none other but I am so done with that haha.</p>
<p>Good luck! Hope it went well!</p>
<p>I got it done. don’t know if it was any good but it got done. one week isnt long enough for a six page legal analysis of eight cases and 300 pages worth of articles. and i had the flu this week. booooooo.</p>
<p>Tea? More like coffee and Red Bull…</p>
<p>Everyone has gotten sick this last week. I had the flu a few days ago…</p>
<p>I haven’t pulled any all nighters yet. I stayed up till 2 writing a paper, but i’ve stayed up later once or twice just watching TV because i didn’t have a morning class. I’m sure that when i transfer and get into more demanding classes that will change.</p>
<p>Never why waste time doing meaningless work when it takes time away from raging.</p>
<p>This reminds me of my Senior year of high school. My AP English teacher assigns a 35-page analysis and gives his class a few months to work on it. However, everyone in the class, infallibly, waits until the last week to begin writing it. And unfortunately for me, I waited until the last three days. I remember starting at 8 PM the last night on page 22 and thinking “Okay, only 13 pages to do. Let’s crank 'em out and get to bed.” </p>
<p>I ended up printing the last page at 7:44 AM, 16 minutes before I had to get to school. What an exhilarating day though, celebrating alongside my peers the end of the last major high school assignment.</p>
<p>I’m really sorry, but I have no idea how to start a new thread, so I hijacked this one. How do you start a new thread? Thank you so much.</p>

<p>What sucked about this paper is that I didn’t put it off. She really didn’t give us the prompt until one week ahead of the due date-- and we really couldn’t write the paper until we had the chance to discuss the readings in class and figure out where she wanted us to go with them, and class wasn’t until Wednesday with the paper due the following Monday morning. It would have been okay were I not in four other classes and dying of the plague, but that’s how it was. lol</p>
<p>Last semester I had a final paper that was due under the professor’s office door by 5pm friday (since the building locks at 5pm), and the prof would pick up the papers on monday. Since the building stays locked for the weekend and I started my paper the morning it was due, I went to the building before it locked at 5 pm friday and camped out there for 33 hours until 2 AM sunday writing the paper. for the duration, I ate only a single meatball sub at the nearby sandwich shop (propped a door open with a chair and hoped to god no one would screw me over)</p>
<p>good times</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same, except we were expected to crank out 30-45 pages of single-spaced poetry analysis every other week on top of fussing over college applications. It was hellish, to say the least. On the other hand, I now have ~200 pages of poetry analysis sitting in my room back home. Oh, the memories …</p>
<p>@ rymd: Dude, that’s hardcore. I commend you. I probably would’ve just emailed the professor and groveled for an extension.</p>
<p>My AP English teacher seems to operate under the impression that none of her students take any classes BUT English and assigns homework accordingly–she expects (in her own words, no less) “approximately three hours of homework per night.” We’re not block-scheduled either, and I’m taking a full AP courseload. I’ve yet to pull an all nighter, thankfully, but I’ve come fairly close.</p>
<p>Coffee and Red Bull? Pfft, you amature… xP</p>
<p>I buy 72 Extra Strength 5 hour energies wholesale now, enough for 1 every school day for a 15 week semester with 12 extras for those all nighters. 5 hour energy, vitamins, and hi-carb foods are where it’s at. Nothing more fun than realizing at 3 am you’re low on your stock and you go out and walk up to the safeway to pick up Bold ChexMix, some lifesavers gummies, maybe a rockstar and walk back. Then do it again at 6 am when the starbucks opens next door (because the one next door is so much better than the one inside the safeway… that’s right, dos starbucks, next to each other, suck on that).</p>
<p>and @rymd - yeah, the gallery agrees, that’s hardcore. You’re the baddest ass here after that.</p>
<p>rymd–I was going to say I commend you, but that isn’t a strong enough word for my feelings about the epicness of that.</p>
<p>I think I’m all nighting it tonight. This project should have been done a while ago, but there’s really loud and obnoxious people in the lobby. Oh well. I’m journaling while my boy next to me is writing a play. At least if I’m going to pull an all-nighter, I’ve got a pretty sweet person to go through it with 
lol.</p>
<p>^pretty boys tend to make everything better!</p>
<p>^ Indeed ;). Although I think it might be making me put off sleep more lol.</p>
<p>rymd, how productive were you during your 33 hour streak?</p>
<p>I loose my ability to concentrate after ~20 hours of wakefulness. It’s safe to say that none of my all nighters in the past have been particularly productive.</p>
