Urban dictionary defines a midnight snack as "When a person decides to eat way too much food at an unsightly hour of the night". This is followed by the example:
George: *goes into the kitchen and sees Dan* Why the heck are you eating a salad, a steak, and ice cream at three in the morning?
Dan: It's just a midnight snack...
George: Whatever you say
Well, we've all been there, so you know what I mean when I say your brain is racing with some pretty interesting thoughts.
1. Will the microwave make too much noise?
The ultimate debate: is it worth the mini noise explosion... On second thought, cold pizza is just as good.
2. Who else is up right now?
If I post a picture on Instagram right now will I get enough likes? Or should I just spam everyone on Snapchat until I know who's awake?
3. The dog's definitely going to be here any second.
Replace the dog with roommate, sibling, or whoever else you just KNOW is about to come ruin your solo snacking. So either the dog/roommate/sibling is about to wake the entire house up or you're about to start sharing your entire snack. Or both. Just face it, there's no such thing as alone time and you both love cheese.
4. Wait, this is tomorrow's dinner, isn't it.
Mom won't freak out that you ate all of her special recipe-took four hours to make-dish ....she can always make something else for grandma and grandpa's 50th-anniversary dinner, right? It'll be fine, right?
5. So is this the part where I'm supposed to go to sleep?
Okay so you came, you saw, and you conquered (the whole box of Oreos, that is.) If you go to bed now you might still be able to avoid seeming completely exhausted in the morning. Or you could find a movie to watch and plan a nap for history class; You sit in the back anyway. Really, the possibilities are endless.
