  • Any work or study done during an all-nighter is a waste.

  • If you meet someone and all they do is talk about themselves, they won't be a good friend.

  • Nobody really cares how you look or what you wear. And anyone who does has bigger issues they would rather not deal with.

Yeah engineering work on an all nighter is worse than not, but you gotta do what you gotta do and it’s physically there then.

Though writing for a classics class is the other area I’ve found all nighters to be acceptable. Though that was as a 19 year old on methylphenidate.
