Burning the Midnight Oil!

One thing that they don't tell you on your college visit is that it is a must to become accustomed to very very very late nights with little or no sleep in order to get everything done. While part of staying up late might be because of procrastination, however that is besides the point. I would say that the average college student is lucky to 5 hours a sleep a night. For me I am lucky to get 3 to 4 hours a night. This semester alone I have pulled two all nighters; without having more than a 10 minute nap here and there the next day. And tonight I am going for good old number 3!

This is the normal process for my all nighters.
1.) make myself coffee with lots of creamer or fake sugars
2.) get my facebook creeping out of the way so I can focus on school
3.) get into comfy clothes (sweatpants, t-shirt, hoody, glasses and such. It doesn't matter if I match because no one will see me)
4.) put on Harry Potter movie (watched a Harry Potter movie the first time I pulled an all nighter and have done it ever since!)
5.) study, study, study, oh yeah and more studying!
6.) depending on how much I have done and how much I have to do, take a break around 4 a.m. and go the restroom, brush my teeth, or shower or just sit and not think about school
7.) get back to work and finish whatever I have left to do

While there is massive flexibility to this schedule, this is approximately how my nights tend to go.

Well wish me luck and I hope that your nights are spent conversing with the Sand Man as apposed to staying up and cramming for midterm exams!
