Famous last words. Especially if you're an underclassmen.

What you actually mean is "if both of these papers receive decent grades I will never work ahead of time for the rest of my college career"

Made it through 4 years and never had to pull an all nighter for school work. I made sure to never study or do any work after midnight.

I was the king of all nighters when you could still buy mini thins at every gas station and drug store in town (I is old). I'd crash for a complete day after pulling one. If I was writing papers, I'd generally get C's on papers that would have been easy to get A's on. If I was studying for a test, what should have been A's were B's or C's.
Treat school like a job: between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, if you're not in class, be somewhere doing classwork or studying (i.e. library) with your phone shut off. You'll be happier and healthier, make better grades, and have very little, if any, course work to do on weekends. Unfortunately, it took me until post-grad to figure this out. When I did figure it out, my grades reflected it.

I actually liked pulling all nighters after my freshman year. Obviously I had substances that helped but it became almost fun and not a big deal. Cramming was not hard once you figured out the best way to do it.
I liked to type all my notes then go through the text book and type everything notable in there. Then print it out and study that.
Typing your study material definitely reinforces your knowledge(at least for the short term, haha)

This won't be the last time you say this.
It's like after a night of getting way too drunk and you say you're never drinking alcohol again. Then 2 days later, you're at the bar pounding drinks again. Man I miss college.

Prepping for exams was always easy for me because I:
1. Attended every class;
2. Took good notes from the lectures;
3. Read all assignments and did all exercises;
4. Got a good rest the night before the exam.
To make papers easier, I chose topics of interest and read other papers similar to the one I was doing.
Good luck going forward in your studies. Enjoy college. It flies by so fast.
