Students at the George Washington University had the chance to unwind from preparing for final projects and exams at various events put on by the Division for Student Affairs, including Midnight Breakfast on Monday. 

Midnight Breakfast  is an annual GW tradition where students can take a break from finals, enjoy some food and participate in a variety of engaging activities. This year's event, held at the University Student Center, included five floors of food and games, including cosmic karaoke, a blacklight arcade, crafts and video games with GW Esports. Students also won prizes such as a weighted blanket, portable projector, GW swag and even an iPad. 

The Final Lap has featured two weeks worth of events that started Dec. 1, including a bouncy house and inflatables Monday afternoon on Kogan Plaza. 

GW Today photographers William Atkins, Lily Speredelozzi and Jordan Tovin captured images from both Midnight Breakfast and Monday's setup at Kogan Plaza. Here are some of their favorite shots:
