The night before finals begin is always an exciting time at the University of Montevallo. Students begin lining up outside the cafeteria around 9:00, even though the event does not start until an hour later, at 10:00 sharp.
When the doors do open, it's a mad rush to get inside - some head straight for the novelty tables in the Anna-Irving Dining Hall, while others take the more scenic route and go for the breakfast food first.
Those who chose to go to the novelties had the choice of getting a custom street sign made (with room for up to thirteen letters), taking a turn in the photo booth while wearing some snazzy headgear, waiting in line for the oxygen bar, or getting a custom print made of objects that look like letters.
The event is there to help students relax and take a much-needed study break before finals start in the morning. It lasts from 10:00 to 12:00 (or, more appropriately, midnight), and students are able to enjoy a full buffet of breakfast foods while dancing and having the chance to win prizes from the raffle.
After they leave, the students go back to their dorms with their arms full of novelties and their stomachs full of french toast and scrambled eggs, ready to have a good night's sleep and prepared for their exams in the morning.
