I’m preparing for this week to be a bit of stress-fest for me. Surprisingly, besides a pathophysiology exam this morning, I don’t actually have any upcoming exams to take.

However, I need to recover from my five straight weeks of testing, practicals and competencies. Soon I need to, prep for my upcoming work (starting the week following Spring Break, I have at least one form of assessment every week until finals), organize all my requirements for clinicals next semester and start orientation for this pretty awesome job I just got (more information coming up after my introduction to the position next week!).

Last semester, during one of my more mental breakdown inducing all nighters, I came across an article on Thought Catalog. After I read it, I reread it. And then I reread it again. And then I did some more work and read it one last time.

My philosophy is always to pull all nighters when you DON’T have a big exam/assignment due the next day, because you can be a zombie in class. So, tonight I am planning on staying up all night. Before making that decision, I thought back on my previous all nighters this semester and, ultimately, on that article.
