I'm in a tight spot. My procrastination, coupled with going home this past weekend for Easter break, has got me in panic mode. I have 2 papers due tomorrow, along with a presentation in my 8 o'clock class. I have a weird habit of over-sleeping if I don't get around 7 hours of sleep or so, but it isn't an every time thing, it is very sporadic.

I have two options, the way I see it:

1) Write the papers tonight and get to bed whenever I get to bed.

2) Stay up all night, no sleep, and write the papers so I do not over-sleep and miss my first class and my presentation.

The first option will put me in bed well after midnight, but I don't know exactly how late it will be. The second option will have me dragging ass all day, but I don't have anything to do since Wednesday is the last day of classes before finals, and I haven't got anything to really do because of this (all tests are done, so only some notes).

What do you guys think? Pull the all-nighter and fill in the free time after I get done writing with playing Xbox or pound out the papers and take my chances with over-sleeping?

Yeah, I was leaning more towards staying up, I just hate doing it ever since I did it a couple years ago and got sick (I drank a lot of soda rather than water all night and I ended up crashing all day and getting a stomach ache).

I try not to stress about it, but it is tough. Especially considering my summer break starts a week from Wednesday and I just want it to be over.

You don't have an alarm clock?

I do, but I'm a heavy sleeper. If I get to bed at a decent hour, I hear it. If I don't get around 7 solid hours (which is really closer to 9 hours total) then I don't hear it at all. It kicks my ass.

As far as writing the paper, I'm committed to staying up at this point. I'm just going to put it off a little longer so I don't have a lot of time to kill after I'm done before class.

when i was in college, i pulled an all nighter one time. i felt like absolute garbage for the entire next day. i never did that again. even if it was 3-4 hours of sleep.

also i didnt stress about school. def not worth it.

Being in the same situation as you (multiple times actually), I'd just go ahead and stay up all night and get it done. Might as well knock both papers on out the way.

I've had plenty of all-nighters (probably 3-4 this semester alone) and I think my procrastination problems will make yours seem like good planning.

That, coupled with the fact that you'll live and you have all summer to sleep and be a lazy ass, and i'll think you'll be fine.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
