4000 words of pure pain, insomnia, coffee and supreme procrastination. EE for enemies. Works effectively as catalyst to extinguish its victims' sleep time. Will cause its victims to curse their own existence, doubt their eventual intelligence (most of the times just leftovers of it, due to World Lit, ToK and other kinds of cerebral massacre) and devote to coffee-ism. Finding a way of distorting a very simple idea into a million-word sentence, in a desperate attempt to cover as many words as possible.
Time 1: Hey, what's up?
Time 2: I have to go, there is a guy trying to work on his Extended Essay. Gotta go FAAAAST!

An essay due at midnight, making for a stressful evening that turns to joy (or embarrassment) once the paper is sent off.
Jeff: "Hey, do you want to watch Star Wars tonight?"
Bryan: "No way! I'm writing a midnight essay, and it's already 7 p.m."

An essay where highschoolers have to boast about how awesome they are in order to get into the colleges they want. The harder they boast the more likely they'll get accepted.
Average college essay: I think that I'm capable of of becoming a college student because I'm a hard worker. I played JV tennis and put in a lot of effort while playing. I have a 3.2 gpa and worked hard to pass all of my classes in order to graduate. I have the capability of working hard no matter what.
Harvard college essay: I invented a cure for Cancer, Aids, and Gonorrhea. I helped rebuild an entire village in Africa in under 2 weeks. I'm the president in 12 different clubs and have been for over 2 years. I scored a 36 on the ACT and got 5's on all of the 10 AP classes I took. I'm also running a small solar panel business and am helping to save the environment. I've won the National robotics tournament 3 times and am the face of robotics. I'm the best at everything. I'M A GOD!!!

The bulging stomach area that results from sitting in a library for periods up to a month during the dreaded essay time. Students tend to eat junk food and heavily caffeinated beverages during this time without much exercise, resulting in weight gain.
Wanna go clubbing next weekend after our essays are due?
Sure... I just need to get to the gym and lose this essay gut.
