On April 27, the Tennessee Wesleyan Student Activities Board hosted their late night breakfast event. Late Night Breakfast happens in both the fall and spring terms during finals prep week. This even allows for residents and commuters to be able to participate, enjoy a late dinner, and have a chance to win many prizes.

The event was scheduled to start at 9 p.m. and prior to the event, the line was out the door. This event truly allowed the students of Tennessee Wesleyan to come and relax and enjoy their night with the chance to win many different prizes.

After entry to this event, the students were handed a raffle ticket, which gave them a chance to win prizes at the end of the event. The students then went through a line and proceeded to receive breakfast style food from the lovely Tennessee Wesleyan staff. After the students went through the line and all got situated, the raffling began.

The students were able to win all kinds of different prizes. The raffle started out with a bunch of less expensive gift cards, but slowly the prizes got better and better. Some of the items were a Virtual Reality gaming system, a Nintendo Switch, and the final prize was a 43″ smart TV. The 43″ Smart TV was one of the very last raffle tickets of the night and was easily the most valuable prize in this raffle.

It just so happened that I was sitting with Kobe Foster, who would win the final prize, the Smart TV.

About half way through the raffle saying, “Man, we aren’t going to win anything here tonight.” Kobe said, “You have to have faith that we are getting this TV.” As the raffle continued and we still were not winning anything, Kobe said “The more these other numbers are called, the better chances we have of winning the TV.” Kobe did not have a second thought in his mind that he was winning that TV. When the final numbers were called, Kobe let out a very loud, “Let’s go!” I could not believe it at first until he came back walking with the TV. I asked him how he knew he was going to win. Kobe stated, “I have been at this school for almost 7 years. I deserve this TV.”

Overall, this event was something that was a great way to forget about studying for finals and enjoy your time with friends and other students from Tennessee Wesleyan. SAB has done a very great job of hosting this event and making sure it proceeds perfectly. The food that the Tennessee Wesleyan cafeteria staff had prepared was more than delicious. This event exceeded my expectations, and I hope to attend it again in the future.
