Ah, studying. Whether for an exam, midterm, final, reading, or a paper, the lives of college students basically consist of studying and more studying. However, it is incredibly important to take breaks in between studying, and eating a snack is definitely the best part of a short break. Here are the best snacks to help you power through studying.
1. Gummy bears
While obviously not the healthiest snack there is, gummy bears can actually help you study! The sugar will keep you awake, and let's face it: How can you not want gummy bears when you're stressed?
My tip: Instead of eating these during a short break, I eat one or two gummy bears after I finish an important task. Typically, if I have a lot to read, I will eat them after I finish a chapter.
2. Chocolate
Again, not another healthy snack. But who doesn't love chocolate? Chocolate will seriously take any stress off your mind!
My tip: I like to keep a bag of Lindt Chocolate on my desk and eat one when I'm really feeling stressed.
3. Popcorn
A healthy alternative to gummy bears and chocolate, popcorn pairs so well with a day filled with studying and homework! With an abundance of flavors, you can never run out of new ways to add popcorn to your study habits.
My tip: Kettle corn is the healthiest (and the best!) flavor of popcorn. It's my favorite!
4. Goldfish
Your favorite childhood snack is now your best friend when it comes to studying. Goldfish make for a lightweight, delicious snack that will keep you going through a day (or night) long study session.
My tip: Baby goldfish or Parmesan goldfish are my go-to flavors! The flavor-blasted are also really good, but cheesy fingers don't make for great studying.
5. Lemonade
Ideal during fall or spring studying (sorry winter!), lemonade is the perfect drink! It will keep you on your toes, keep your brain alert, and it just tastes so, so good.
My tip: The best lemonade is Hubert's Lemonade! It's perfectly sweet and every flavor (blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, original) is incredibly tasty!
6. Peace Tea
So many flavors! Green tea, razzleberry, Georgia peach, caddy shack, sno-berry, sweet lemon, the flavors could go on forever. A super delicious (and cheap) alternative to any other drink!
My tip: Sno-berry is the best flavor! It tastes exactly like a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher.
