How to survive an all-nighter

We can be incredibly productive in short, focused sessions. All you need is food, drink and focus.
All-nighters are an obligatory part of the university experience for disorganised students. For most, they're a grimacing experience. But some thrive under pressure, producing their best work at 4am with an impending 7am deadline.
The truth is that all-night essay crises have always been, and remain, dreadful, lonely and humiliating.
It's midnight and the panic is setting in. A bizarre double-think consumes your caffeinated mind. On the one hand, the morning is freedom, when the confines of your bedroom cease to be prison walls and you can finally sink under that soft duvet.
On the other, the morning is doom. Somehow those 200 words on the computer screen have to become 2,000.

Could a man and a woman be "just" friends?

Can it be possible or is it just one of the old myths? Are we able to believe and find ourselves in a non-sexual relationship between man and woman?
Personally, I think there isn't any "true" answer to this question. Everyone has different approach and experience regarding true friendship. A coin has always two sides, that is why one of the sides, he or she, will be probably interested in more than just a platonic relationship.
Have you ever heard a saying: "men are from Mars and women are from Venus". I think the catchphrase is commonly used for both genders to show and to explain basic difference in thinking, communication style or expression of feelings.
