Carpe noctem

Latin for 'seize the night.' Similar to work hard, play hard, people who live by this philosophy usually have a demanding job, study and/or other responsibilities, which take up most of their day. At night, however, they become party animals and have the time of their lives.

Dude1: Hey bro, let's ditch class and get high.
Dude2: Nah man, my Econ professor is reviewing the shit that's gonna be on the final.
Dude1: Don't be such a boring nerd, carpe diem! That's how I roll and my life is awesome.
Dude2: Dude I party every fucking night and I always go home with a hottie. You're flunking out and you can't get laid to save your life cause everyone knows you're a loser. Fuck carpe diem, man. Carpe noctem is where it's at.
Dude1: Whatever man, YOLO.
