Pulling an all-nighter
의미: Staying up all night to study, work on a project, or party.
An all-nighter is a rite of passage in college. 'I pulled an all-nighter' can mean you stayed up studying for finals, finishing a paper due at 8 AM, or partying until sunrise. The academic all-nighter involves coffee, Red Bull, a library desk, and slowly deteriorating mental function. The party all-nighter involves different chemicals but similar results. Both end with you questioning your life choices at 6 AM. All-nighters peak during finals week.
