There was a unique experience in college that I would say most who attended had. It was when you stayed up all night writing a paper or finishing a project. After you hand it in and head back to your room, there a moment of pure bliss. Its a weird yet perfect combination of exhaustion from being up all night, relief from 9+ hours of stress of a deadline, and a sense of fulfillment from obtaining a difficult goal.

I miss that feeling. Where you are staring at you bed after such a long night and know that you can allow yourself to sleep as long as you want, because you earned it.

Maybe my work isn't challenging enough to put me through that pressure/relief cycle. Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic.
