On Friday, December 8th, Eastern was nice enough to have coffee, hot chocolate, and every kind of doughnut imaginable available for students in the library at 8:30 p.m. to relieve the stress of finals. Most students didn't seem to know about the event as there weren't many flyers hung up, and only one or two emails sent out regarding the event, but more people attended than I expected. On the first floor of the library on top of some shorter bookshelves were boxes upon boxes upon boxes of doughnuts. I swear I saw 50 boxes but there was probably half that amount. Some doughnuts had white icing with red and green Christmas sprinkles on them, while others were classically glazed. At least one if not two boxes had chocolate icing atop their doughy goodness and still others had cream on the inside.

Earlier that night I met one of my friends in the library and we did homework together then walked downstairs to find the first floor crowded with people scrambling to grab their favorite doughnut and hot beverage before everything was gone. After a mad rush of haphazardly throwing our backpacks on some nearby couches, I whipped out my phone and filmed her getting excited about the food. She did a great job and I commend her for that, but it also really isn't that hard to get excited over free food, especially being a college student.

Thanks for the much-needed study break, Warner Memorial Library staff!! You're greatly appreciated and I don't know what the students of EU would do without all of you and this event every year.
