Midnight Breakfast

The posters for this year's Midnight Breakfast went up today, and the information included on them shocked both myself and my friends. This year, the infamous celebration of the end of the semester is not entirely free for the students. Each hungry scholar is required to bring one canned food item that will be donated to the food pantry.

Don't get me wrong-I think providing people who are in dire need of food with canned goods is a wonderful idea and something more citizens should do on a regular basis. My beef with the food drive results from the fact that I thought the Midnight Breakfast was a reward for hardworking students, not a fundraiser. I feel as though I'm being used to make the college look good, not being served warm pancakes because I busted my butt over the past four months. But whatever.

Maybe I'm overreacting. Post your comments and let me know what you think.

Was this for a class? Or have you been doing this the entire time and I am just oblivious?

I agree with you on the midnight breakfast, by the way... :)
