Freshman year is an exciting time. It's the best of times, yet the worst of times. Weekends are spent making countless new friends, but adjusting to the workload during the weekdays can tend to be pretty rough. The year has it's high and lows, but every week I look forward to one thing.

One thing and one thing only can get me through the school week and that's Late Night Window at one of College of Charleston's dining halls.

The Late Night Window is the most underrated part of freshmen year. Not many people talk about it and it's not thought about. Nobody appreciates it the way I appreciate it. Some may argue that it's not even that great. It's nothing special. After all, it's just City Bistro food. But, when I talk about it my face lights up and when I see it it's like seeing a million bucks.

Late Night is a gift sent from the gods.

At the end of a long, hard week, you can just sit and eat good college food surrounded by your closest friends. Sometimes not even a word is said, we just sit there and eat — everyone is so content with the moment that we are living in.

So, thank you Late Night, for bringing me and my friends together. Thank you for keeping me warm during cold nights with the space heaters and all of the pretty lights. Thanks for the chicken nugs and messy chicken wings. Most of all, thanks for the memories.
