CAB invited students to let loose as they wind down for the end of the semester as well as prepare for holiday breaks and final exams coming up.<\/p>\n

\u201cMidnight Breakfast is a traditional event that started a while ago to get students together in celebration of getting ready for the thanksgiving and the holidays. The event is kind of the ending celebration of the semester and it\u2019s held for students to have fun before we all go home for break,\u201d said the CAB Director of Media Taj Jean-Baptiste, who is a sophomore business management major from Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThis year we did it a little different because we noticed that plenty of students on campus listen to trap music, so we thought it would be a fun way to add a twist to a regular holiday party.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Christmas-themed party had lines of students that went out of the door, waiting to sign in and enjoy the festivities.<\/p>\n

The first floor consisted of delicious breakfast ready to be served and a DJ playing jams, while the second floor served chicken wings and nachos with a karaoke station.<\/p>\n

The third floor held a huge party that students went to after they finished eating. Students partied throughout the night and enjoyed line dancing to our signature dance songs.<\/p>\n

Jayda Smith, a freshman social work major, from Jackson, Miss. said, \u201cThis was my first midnight breakfast and I think it was the best event I\u2019ve been to so far. I loved the food, music, and just the overall atmosphere. I already can\u2019t wait to see what they do next year!\u201d<\/p>\n

While many loved the event, not everyone was completely satisfied. Some students felt that the \u201cTrap Edition\u201d theme took away from the event getting students into the Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I did enjoy this year’s Midnight Breakfast, I felt like they could have done without the trap theme. I feel like the event is supposed to be like a Christmas party and to me that\u2019s what was fun about it last year. I think the trap theme just limited the activities they had and I didn\u2019t like that,\u201d said Dejah Robinson, a sophomore psychology major, from St. Louis, MO.<\/p>\n

Despite some students feeling that the event was not as good as the previous year, many other students enjoyed it. Students felt it was a fun way to end the semester and make memories.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing that I\u2019m a senior I won\u2019t be able to enjoy this event next year so I really was hoping it would be as good as all the previous years and I was not disappointed\u201d said Joshua Byram, a senior communicative disorders major from New Orleans, La.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always felt this was the best event of the year because the student body just comes together as a whole and everyone gets in the Christmas spirit. This year it made me sad in a good way because this was my last one but it\u2019s been the best time I\u2019ve had in a while so I\u2019m super happy leaving this event.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the semester comes to a close the Midnight Breakfast event helped students make memories, have fun, and get in the Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n

The event brought students together to celebrate the holidays and have fun before it\u2019s time for finals.<\/p>\n
