Five pages is high school shit. With you on the crazy writing boat btw. I once wrote 75 pages of serious analytical writing about 8 different pieces of literature (that I actually had read prior to the writing) in 24 hours to unfail several classes I was in, thanks to the power of bipolar hypomania. Did I do well on the papers? Yes, I actually got As on all of them. Did I sleep at all? No, not for THREE days. Did I feel gnarly af after coming down from that high? yes. yes I did. RIP to past me, and, uh, never, ever, ever again I am letting myself go through that nonsense. #thanksmoodstabilizers
That sounds INTENSE! I once pulled an all nighter with some friends in a class writing a philosophy paper. We shared lots of quotes with each other each taking certain sections of the handful of books we had read, then each incorporate them into our papers our own ways. The teacher was madly suspicious and brought it up and we just explained that we did a study group together. Our papers were all in our own words so he didn’t do anything but let us know our papers were VERY similar lol and we all got decent enough grades.
But that was exhausting and something to recover from. 3 days sounds horrible
