I hate writing essays, for I fail to see how knowing how to write an essay is going to help me in the art field at all.
...although, what really irks me is that the required English class they throw at me is Writing Experience. To me, it sounded like a class where you experiment with a variety of writing styles, from poems to short stories.
But nooooo...all you do in there is write goddamn essays.  How the hell is it going to help in an art degree? I fail to see the logic in these pre-req classes.

That's a pre-req for art?
I find that illogical as well. 
Well maybe, it's practice for when you professionally start criticizing other people's work, where you have to write a full-blown paper about it.
I hope they're not too long, right?

Yeah, specially when knowing that some of your classmates did the work weeks ago before the due date and that they spent a lot of time finishing them. Then you (well most of us) do a last moment work and gets the best grade XD
It's really funny

Not only really funny, but still, you must be really proud. XD
I've done that once or twice, but I take care not to blurt anything out about the fact that I pulled an 'all-nighter' because I'd probably get ballyhooed for it. 
Usually, I get my essay inspirations at night anyways, because that's when I'm most pensive.

I've always said that it is the eternal night which inspires most of use to write and analyze things more. It's the vast and seemingly unending night we see while staring at the sky which allows us to see more and way beyond our imagination...

I suppose, though I work best under the glaring lights of my desk lamp. XD
Actually, I just take a bunch of books out from my mini-library, open them up, search for relevant ideas, then throw them in a hodgepodge of ideas that eventually will become my essay.
My essays are actually kind of random, I just say whatever comes to my head, no matter how far it is from the main point of the essay I'm writing...it's just that I manage to tie it to that point no matter what. That's what I'm really proud of about my writing, really, being able to make something out of nothing.

...we write easier at night because that's the time when no one is up to bother you with tedious things like chores and whatnot.  Gives us more time to deal with our own troubles without having someone with a shrill voice nagging at you in the background.

Writing essays? Why yes, of course...I love it. I especially loved timed-writing essays for English AP. You basically have 45 minutes to do it. I love the rush and freaking out whether you'd finish it or not.
Forget the whole brainstorming crap - you'll simply have no time. Just get to the point and analyze this and that. "What's the thesis?!", you ask yourself. Figure it out quick or you're dead meat.
You then look at the time - uh oh, 5 minutes left. Screw the 3rd body paragraph (you have no time to finish it, so either think quickly or make up some random crap just to make it sound prettyful  ) and get to the damn conclusion.
You submit the essay and feel relief wash over you. Best feeling in the world.

I don't mind essays at all as long as I can base them on my opinions and beliefs instead of being pin-point directed on what to write about. When a professor bitches at you because you didn't do it, "his way", then the teacher can F-off.
I like putting my own creative spin on anything even though I suck at English, so whatever I can flow with, I give a shot. Sure they are a pain sometimes, but it can be fun writing them.
