Collective Encouragement in an Individual Struggle

This has been a rough night for me and my classmates. We all have papers to write and we're all either stressed out or we're beyond caring. Either way, we're burning midnight oil. What I am grateful for are the encouragements we give ourselves. Three or four times at least, someone in our group has posted a Facebook message or brought food or something to offer a brief respite from our late-night work. The fact that we're all here together, working individually but supporting each other, that's encouraging. I am grateful for the encouragement and smiles we provided for each other tonight as we wrap up a particularly stressful week of homework.

P.S.--One of my classmates posted a song ("Non-stop") from the new musical, Hamilton. It was the first time I heard a song from the show, and it blew me away! A highlight of the evening, I'd say. :)
