Event to give students study break

May 1, 2012 by Armani Williams

Students looking to grab some grub and take a little break from studying during finals week need not look further than Midnight Breakfast.

The event, a combination of food and entertainment, is scheduled to run from 10:30 p.m.-12 a.m. Monday in the Bean.

There will be karaoke, door prizes, a $150 midnight giveaway, board games, breakfast, and even a D.J. The Bean will serve a breakfast of sausage, eggs, bacon gravy, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and fruit.

Finals week survival kits will also be for sale. Parents have until Tuesday to purchase the survival kits for their kids, and Thursday they will be given to the students.

“Parents drive all the way from Houston for this event and have a blast. The event has been going on back when I was in school in 1998, and I know it’s been going on for at least 20 years,” said Misty Spainhower, liaison for Midnight Breakfast.

Last year, the Parents Association served up a record number of breakfasts, with 681 students attending the event. The event is a come and go environment where you can either use your meal plan or pay $5 to attend. The money given received from the sale of Survival Kits will go to the door prizes. Door prizes will be given every 10 minutes with up to five prizes per person.

“The idea of Midnight Breakfast is to provide students with an event that they can have fun at and relieve some stress during finals week since students are up anyway,” said parent volunteer coordinator of the event Valerie Hilliard.

Don’t forget that students looking to win $150 for the midnight giveaway must sign up at the front table in the World Famous Bean. Students who win door prizes will also be eligible to win the $150.
