Finals are approaching, and this means double the stress and usually double the snacking. When you're running around the library searching for sources for that 10-page research paper you should have started weeks ago, or when you're in bed surrounded by hundreds of notecards, snacking really is the only option. Wave goodbye to the meals you previously had and hello to endless munching. Here is a list of some of my favorite snacks to have on hand at all times just in case I need to eat my feelings.

1. Popcorn

Buttery perfection created by only three minutes and twenty seconds in the microwave.

2. Cookies

There really is nothing in this world a warm and gooey chocolate-chip cookie can't fix.

3. Baked Lay's

I know, I know. A lot of people think they taste like cardboard, but I love them.

4. Pretzels and Peanut Butter

Add some chocolate and you've got everything you could ever want in one bite.

5. Chips and Queso

It doesn't even have to be fancy queso — I always just go store-bought.

6. Fruit Salad

It is probably a good idea to put something healthy into your body during finals week.

7. Assorted Candy

Always having a pile of candy next to you is very important while studying.

8. Ice Cream

A nice cold scoop of ice cream can really wake up the brain and body during those long nights of research.

9. Diet Coke

OK, sure I drink this one, but I cannot even began to tell you how much of this my apartment goes through in a week.

10. French Fries

After a disastrous attempt at taking an exam, golden french fries are always needed.

And last but not least: at the end of finals week to celebrate...

11. Pizza

You're finally done — you survived another finals week. Celebrate with as much pizza as you can eat.
