My first all nighter for college.

[altoecko]

And I haven't written a single page. I have to write ten pages(Two five page papers) of literary analysis on the movie Predator. So far I just have the titles:

Get To Dah Choppa: The Predator Essay
I'm Tired of Writing About Predator Or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned To Love The Hunt

I'm hyped on Caffeine(that I never drink). So, what are your war stories?

Edit- I finished the second essay before the first:

Re: My first all nighter for college.

every paper ive written for college has been the product of an all-nighter. ive managed to level my all-nighting skill so much that i actually sleep through it, and then jam pack my 10 page papers into an hour before class.

i get the paper back with like "brilliant!" and **** like that written all over it, and i have all my teachers tell me that i write so well and if only i did all the coursework i would have an A and i really deserve the A.

my university is a ****ing joke.

ps. predator: it ****ing sucks is the best title ever.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

The thing about all-nighters, though, is that my mood keeps changing during the course of the night, as does the concept for my paper. Five hours after I start I'll be like, "What am i doing? This is stupid." Then four hours after that, I'm like, "Wait! I've got it!" but by then, I've rewritten most of my previous ideas. In the end I have a paper that's completely incoherent, but still kind of interesting to read.

I usually pull one all-nighter per semester. I make kind of a ceremony about it. I play music, I have a bunch of snacks of varying nutritional value (bananas, Pop Rocks, bananas with Pop Rocks), and I reward myself in the end with a hot shower. Sometimes the reward comes before I finish the paper.

I already pulled an all-nighter, writing about Junot Diaz's Drown. Hell if I know what I was writing about, though. I was awake for 36 hours without the assistance of caffeine. At the 24th hour I was ready to kill myself, but at the 32nd hour I felt mentally-dexterous and completely carefree.

It's dawning on me that I might have to pull another all-nighter in a few days for my ethics paper. I'm gonna start it tonight, or at least that's what I just said.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

Wow, is there that much to say about Predator? I'm curious.

And yeah, all-nighters are terrible.

I just pretend I'm Jack Bauer.


...That has nothing to do with all-nighters though.

[altoecko]

Re: My first all nighter for college.

I finished them. I normally always pull all nighters, this is just the first for academic reasons.

Edit- No, there is not that much to say about Predator. One of my papers is pretty much a critique of Nam, I'm not sure how it ended up that way, but it works.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

I figured Vietnam would be the only thing worth bringing up. Like most 80s action movies.

I did the same thing with Aliens. :3

[Translucid]

Re: My first all nighter for college.

all nighters are like, pretty bad. I'll keep trying to formulate ideas throughout the night, but when I put them all together I don't bother reading the whole paper again and it very much lacks a good flow and purpose.
I'd say best thing to do is four nights before, you think of ideas and write them down. three nights before, you choose the best ideas and write an outline. two nights before, start the paper, hopefully get halfway. final night, just finish it.
see? not so bad. now why don't I do that.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

Because like me you can't help but make sweet love to the whorish wench of procrastination. She's given me the FAIL a few times but nothing a good round of antibiotics can't clear up.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

When I was a freshman in college, I had this paper to do for an English class, but then I was finally getting some ideas in my head. Suddenly, I get a knock at the door, and it's a couple of friends asking if I want to play Monopoly. So, instead of finishing the paper, I played the game and beat EVERYONE. The paper eventually got finished, and I went to bed at, like 5:30 am, only to awake 3 hours later for the damned English class.

[Translucid]

Re: My first all nighter for college.

I think my problem is a combination of procrastination and that I'll go to wikipedia for research on the history of the palestinian/israeli conflict and end up an hour later looking at a youtube video of someone's favorite cast ideas for a dragonlance movie. this actually happened.

Re: My first all nighter for college.

If you go to Wikipedia for research, you're doing it wrong.
