Pulling an all-nighter is kind of like going to 1020. People do it, but it’s detrimental to your health and you usually smell afterwards. There aren’t many feelings quite like the tingle of the sun’s heat on your skin as you walk out of Butler at nine in the morning. Sure, you managed to learn an entire semester of CC using only Wikipedia and your class council’s study guides (since you never actually bought the books). But you also look like the underside of PrezBo’s hairpiece. You kinda smell like it too.
We’ve pulled our fair share of all-nighters, and not the “Woo, spring break!” kind. It’s the “I haven’t blinked in 48 minutes, please CAVA me now” kind. There are bad ways to stay up all night studying and there are not-as-bad ways to stay up all night studying. We’ve done our best to compile a list of the two models, so the next time you have to write a final paper for Contemporary Japanese Cinema the night before it is due, even though you had all semester to do it, look to this guide as a Talmud of all-nighter tricks.
Check out the differences between good and bad all-nighters after the jump.
