The Stages of Pulling An All Nighter For A Test

Better to laugh than cry about it, right?

1. You sit in your afternoon class thinking about how you're going to accomplish it all...


2. But it's still the afternoon, and you realize you have so much time. "Maybe I won't have to pull an all-nighter," you naively think to yourself.

3. It's now past dinner time, and you open your book. You realize how much material you have not retained from class, and an overwhelming sensation of nervousness briefly hits you.


4. You quickly shake your nerves off. There's just no time to panic. It's game. time.

5. A while goes by, and you're starting to lose focus...and energy.

6. How can you continue when your attention span is the size of a pin needle? So you take a small break to go on social media.


7. At some point, you stop scrolling, and you get back to studying. All you're thinking is:


8. Your roommates see how distraught you are, so they try to amp you up. You're appreciative, but it doesn't really work.

9. Eventually, you go to bed. You set your alarm for a time that will allow at least 1 hour of sleep.

10. You barely sleep. You wake up wanting to do this:


11. But thankfully, you quickly get your ish together. It's almost going to be over, and you tell yourself you got this. Because you do.


12. You walk into the test like:

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.
