The Day After Pulling an All-Nighter

The Day After Pulling an All-Nighter

There comes a point in every college student's life where he or she has to make the tough decision between staying up all night before a big test, or giving up and getting sleep. Personally, I have chosen to stay up all night more times than I would like to admit. While staying up is a terrible experience when it means spending quality time with your textbooks and energy drinks, nothing compares to the day after the dreaded all-nighter. Don't believe me?

Here are 12 things that happen the day after you decide to stay up all night studying.

1. All you can think about is the exam, midterm or final that you spent the entire night studying for.

2. Your level of tolerance of any noise is so low that even the sound of someone chewing will send you over the edge.

3. Everyone you see gets an involuntary death-stare straight into their soul.

4. The last hour before your exam is spent trying to remember anything -- and I mean anything that you taught yourself from the last 10 plus hours.

5. Coffee starts tasting like dirt after you've had far too many cups that put you dangerously close to heart attack level.

6. The feelings of despair, sadness, and sorrow fill you as you realize that you still do not understand half of what you tried to study.

7. Moments after leaving the test you regret spending so many hours on one single subject.

8. You begin to feel slightly delusional by noon.

9. You must use all of your energy to do simple tasks like text your friends back or climb a single flight of stairs.

10. You would go to great extremes to be able to take a nap.

11. You swear to never pull another all-nighter again.

12. You forget that once the test is over you are expected to carry on with your daily routine and get work done in every other class.

Despite all of these awful things that happen the day after an all-nighter, sadly this is college and all-nighters are an evil that we must all face in order to survive.

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.

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.

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.
