Midnight Breakfast at UM

by Pamela Faddis


Every year the University Program Council holds an event called Midnight Breakfast to kick off the start of finals week. Although it is called Midnight Breakfast, the event actually starts at 10 pm and goes until midnight.

The purpose of the event is aimed to help relieve the stress of students by having music, dancing, food, and other side activities. Activities this year include wax hands, making street signs, and an oxygen bar. Food included eggs, sausage, hash browns, pancakes and biscuits.



Some students lined up 45 minutes early in the pouring rain just so they could get good seats and be first in line. As soon as the doors opened, they all rushed in.

One of the most favorite parts of Midnight Breakfast for students is the dancing aspect. There is a DJ who knows exactly what songs to get the students going. This year, songs included "The Wobble", "Swerve", and "The Bunny Hop".

The stress of finals week can be a lot of pressure on a student. The UPC is dedicated to helping those students relax and enjoy themselves. 

If you missed Midnight Breakfast this year, you'll have a chance to go again at the end of the next semester.
