The 7 Stages Of Pulling An All-Nighter: Explained By Michael Scott

There comes a day where every college student realizes they must pull an all-nighter to finish their homework. Sometimes we do it to ourselves through watching Netflix, staying out with friends, cleaning our room, or just to avoid having to do homework. Occasionally, some of us have had an intensely busy week and are forced to cram all of our studies into one night. Michael Scott has embodied the average college student in more ways than one, and now he can explain the different stages of having to pull an all-nighter. No matter how we got into this sticky situation, it is here and we now will go through the seven stages of pulling an all-nighter:

1. Disbelief

There is no way that I have multiple assignments, an online quiz, and readings due the next day. Is it already Sunday?

2. Denial

Well, there is nothing to stress about because there is no way you are going to stay up all night for homework. It will all be good eventually...

3. Bargaining

Maybe if I just finish one assignment the rest can be late... after all, it is only 10 percent a day.

4. Guilt

This cannot keep happening. Where did I go wrong? I know I avoid my homework, but how did I let it ever get this bad?

5. Anger

This is just not happening! I need a full 8 hours of beauty sleep, which this homework cannot be in my life right now.

6. Depression

This is my life now. I completely deserve every consequence, as I am the maker of my own disaster. Maybe I will make it to see the light of day, or maybe I will fall asleep on my laptop and burn my face. Either way, I put myself here.

7. Acceptance

This is the worst possible scenario to be in at the moment. However it is my own doing, and there is no one to blame but myself. No matter how many cups of coffee it takes to get me through the entire night, it will get done. Once the acceptance stage has set in, I can fully work on what I am supposed to without distractions, other than late night snacking of course.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
