"The best thing about life in your twenties
is you can do anything you want to do and still have the energy to do it."
is you can do anything you want to do and still have the energy to do it."
-- An Amazing Woman
If I or any of my siblings ever complained about being tired, my mom would laugh and say, "Ya'll are the oldest children I know!" My sibs and I are years removed from those instances now, and though I would argue that puberty takes a lot out of a person (we need more sleep during that stage; science even says so), I think I get what my mom found so funny. We had fewer responsibilities and energy to spare. But sometimes we would do nothing at all with it.
As twenty-somethings, our responsibilities may have increased, but we still have amazing energy. There are probably things we do right now that we take for granted: all-nighters, late movies and concerts on a weeknight, road trips, jet-setting and not wasting the day of arrival or departure to "catch up on sleep". We will not be able to perform this way forever. So I say waste not, want not. While I do advocate taking care of yourself, we can splurge a little bit right now -- burn the candle at both ends once in a while. It's exhilarating.

GEMINI 1: Wait a minute. Didn't you just miss a post last week because you were too tired after coming in from a concert on a Tuesday?
GEMINI 2: Yep, and I'd do it again too!

There might be a lifetime limit on all nighters. I think I may have hit mine my second year of gradschool because a sister cannot hang let me tell you. you better hope that paper was due at 8am because by ten i will be unable to wake up...
*sigh*
i think these behaviors should be indulged moderately. lol. the last all-nighter i pulled was to complete the 2nd set of applications for my current gig. safe to say, well worth it! & it was on my birthday's eve too! i brought in my 22nd year tired as all get out!
