the 11:59 pm deadline is simultaneously the best and worst thing to exist. Never have I experienced adrenaline like the 11:59 pm deadline. My proudest work exists because of the 11:59 pm deadline. My depression also exists because of the 11:59 pm deadline. Friends were forged and lost at the hours leading up to 11:59 pm. My biggest motivator was the 11:59 pm deadline. I've also never felt a bigger chokehold on my ability than every hour before 11:00 pm. If someone asked me my biggest pride and regret, it would have to be about the 11:59 pm deadline.
