I think I can say with complete confidence that there is no student in the history of universities that hasn't pulled an all-nighter. Every student has been there at least once. I myself was there last night. I am yet to crash, but I do know it is coming. But like most students I cannot afford to crash anytime soon. I like most have assignments and tests scribbled on almost every day of my calendar, and post it notes on almost every surface.
Most of us who pull an all-nighter don't get that moment of clarity or as I like to call it ah-ha moment until about 4am. It is that almightly moment where that concept, question, word you have been struggling with becomes as clear as day. It is a moment that often requires personal celebration. That funny little victory dance that we all have. They can be seen in most comedy movies and are often quite geeky, making you think about how geeky you must look when you do your dance.
We are all geeks inside and an all-nighter is just part of our everday lives. So people, sleepless nights, ah-ha moments and victory dances all go hand in hand with university. You cannot have one without the other.
I put this question out there for you to answer...
What was the last assignment that you last pulled an all-nighter for?
I'm curious what your answer is, mine, well it's good old calculus... Feel free to put your answer in a comment.
Stay tuned for more in the life of your average student.
