How To: Stay Up Late

This will actually probably be a list, because there are simply so many steps to staying up late. And also, it's hard to write complete things when it's late.

Note: The things on the list do not have to be done necessarily in the order in which they are presented.

1. Work until 8:30 pm in the dish room
2. Realize that you may have gotten some lasagna on your face
3. Take a shower
4. Make sure the shower you take is at least 45 minutes long, because you're paying $46,000 a year to go to college, so you better get your money's worth out of that unending hot water, GOSH DARN IT
5. Realize you have no clean pajamas left
6. Put on some jeans and hope the air cools off in your room
7. Be hungry, because you ate at 4 o'clock before you went to work, and now it's basically 9:45 pm
8. Eat some crackers and pepperoni because actually cooking something is too hard
9. Realize you still have 59 pages of your book to read for class tomorrow
10. Also realize you still have 5 Spanish homework activities to do before midnight
11. Text with your brother while trying to accomplish said homework activities
12. Realize you actually have no clothes to wear tomorrow, and if you don't do laundry, you might have to wander around campus in your bathrobe
13. Haul all your laundry downstairs only to realize that you have more than one load
14. Realize you have no money left on your laundry card
15. Walk all the way to the place where you can put money on your laundry card and wander around in the dimly lit hallway until you find the magic money sucking machine and hope you brought something other than ones, because apparently the machine doesn't take ones
16. Do two loads of laundry at once
17. Haul all your undone homework and your laptop downstairs to become a laundry room lurker

22. Stalk all your important people on Facebook
23. Haul all your laundry upstairs only to find your roommate sleeping (because, of course, it is midnight and a half) and try to put your clothes away silently and in the dark
24. Stub your toe on some unknown object by your desk and freak out by jumping up and down up and down up and down up and down
25. Crawl into bed
26. Realize you didn't take your contacts out
27. Climb out of bed
28. Take your contacts out
29. Realize you should probably also brush your teeth
30. Try to go back to bed, but don't be able to sleep because you don't want to have weird scary dreams like you usually have
31. Listen to music (specifically all of the five Coldplay albums you have on your iPod)
32. Go for a walk outside
33. Have ears that hurt because the weather systems have decided to change randomly and press upon your inner ear
