We all know the feeling. One minute, it’s 11 a.m. on a Sunday and you’re happily watching Netflix planning to study after one episode. The next minute, it’s 8 p.m. and you haven’t even opened a book. And so the dreaded all-nighter begins.

1. Denial

“I can totally get this all done by midnight and get plenty of sleep! It’ll be fine!” No, no, it’s not.

2. Acceptance

“OK, so I’m totally gonna be here all night. I’m never watching Netflix again.” [cue split screen so you can watch Netflix while you’re working]

3. Doing Absolutely Nothing

There’s always at least one hour (maybe two) where you do nothing but scroll through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and back again. Don’t deny it.

4. Actual Working

For me, this normally happens around the 11 p.m. mark. I start furiously working to try to avoid being up for the entire night. It normally only lasts an hour or two.

5. Envy

There’s nothing worse than being only halfway through with your first assignment of the night and watching people walk towards the elevators. There’s a brief moment of hatred for every single passerby, and you’re not ashamed.

6. Blaming the Professor

"Why does he assign so much reading? Doesn't he know I have other classes?" "Why do these papers have to be so long? I stopped writing things that make sense 300 words ago."

7. Finally Getting an Outlet

The first 15 minutes of being in the PCL is always spent trying to find a good place to sit. All you really need is an outlet, but all of the spots near outlets are taken. Around 2 a.m. though? There’s an open outlet around every corner and it’s beautiful.

8. Hating Yourself

“Why did I let myself do this? Why didn’t I start working earlier? Why am I the stupidest person ever?”

9. Sleepiness

At a certain point, productivity seems to fly out the window. You have to read one sentence seven times just to halfway understand it because you can hardly keep your eyes open. It’s a really fun time.

10. Delirium

After the sleepiness passes, some people tend to get their second wind. The only problem with this is that this second wind involves being extremely hyper and finding everything funny. Productivity is still nowhere to be found.

11. Almost Finished

Getting close to finishing what you needed to do is an awesome feeling, until you realize that it’s 4 a.m. and you have class at 9 a.m. Then you go right back to hating yourself.

12. Bargaining

“Okay, I’m just going to finish this chapter and then I’m going to bed. I’ll go to the PCL as soon as I get out of class tomorrow.”

13. Leaving

You smile and yawn at the same time as you pack up your stuff. You put your backpack on and walk past all the other poor souls still awake at this ungodly hour and hold your head high with pride. That is, at least, as high as you can hold it without overexerting yourself. You’re exhausted.

14. Oversleeping

For some reason, you think you can get in bed at 6 a.m. and still wake up on time for your 9 a.m. class. You realize this was a mistake when you wake up at 9:30 a.m. and run to class with one sock on.

15. Repetition

You said you’d go to the library as soon as you got out of class, but Netflix sounds better. And so the cycle starts again.
