There’s something special about college—a certain feeling, one that you get again and again throughout your life but never as strongly as you did while in school.

Late Night holds a special place in the hearts of many Wesleyan students, including mine. It’s become my go-to place for dinner when I’m too lazy to cook and too tired to deal with the raucousness of Usdan at dinnertime.
