In College, unless you have a super easy major, all-nighters are inevitable. This article is not only to remind you of that one (or nineth) time you stayed up an extra 12 hours, but to show those of you lucky souls what you're missing out on.
So without further ado, I present you the Parks and Rec version of the All-Nighter.
8:00 p.m.
The Pre-Game Warm-Up
Who thought this was a good idea? Someone tell me.
10:00 p.m.
Denial
Its easier just to believe the work will get itself done by midnight, then the alternative.
11:00 p.m.
Acceptance of Fate
Also known as the "Naive Stage": the stage in which it is believed that focus will be on your goal all night. Whoops.
12:00 a.m.
The Pep-Talk
This stage usually consists of you encouraging your classmates in an effort to convince yourself everything will be okay.
1:00 a.m.
Slow Decline
After midnight hits, emotions, energy, and patience are thrown out the window.
2:00 a.m.
The Crash
Everyone experiences the mental crash in a different way. If you can remain sane after this long, you're going places.
3:30 a.m.
The Reboot
The moment when your body lets you know you're not going down without a fight. Or coffee.
5:00 a.m.
The Crash 2.0
Yeaaah... This explains it pretty well.
7:00 a.m.
Emergency Power Mode
The stage in which your mind and body collaborate to create an hour long lethal weapon of endurance. God bless the miracle that is the body.
7:30 a.m.
The 30-Minute Dash
The only thing getting you through this train wreck is the thought of your bed.
8:00 a.m.
The After-Party
Congrats! You successfully pulled an all-nighter! Usually consists of highfive-ing and crying simultaneously.
8:01 a.m.
Instant Regret and Endless Coffee
Well, at least you tried right? This is usually the time when you swear to never do this again. Yeaaaah... No.
Until next time, All-Nighter, it was nice knowing you.
Kinda.
