To all those older than 21 reading this blog, I mean no offense. To me, this day has been a long time coming and now that it’s here, I feel old.

I believe most college students have had the misfortune of staying up for the entire night, struggling to stay awake and finish those 3 assignments you just happened to put off until that moment. Or maybe you have two midterms next week and you need to get this essay out of the way now so you can study for your exams. Whatever your reason, we’ve all been there.

Through my vast experience in all-nighters, I present to you the 10 stages I experience when I have to do an all nighter.

From the first time you step on campus at USC, you start hearing about the “Trojan Family”. You don’t really question it. It sounds good and could be beneficial for you so that’s chill. But what really is the Trojan Family? We’re a part of it but what is it?
