With finals coming up, it's very tempting to load up on caffeine and sugar and all the other goodies that keep you awake and wired while you study. However, this may not be the best way to go about things. That stuff can help you in the moment but, in the long haul, healthy stuff is the way to go. Here are a few snacks that I like to have nearby when I'm hardcore studying.

1. Frozen fruit

Frozen fruit is an awesome snack because munching on something really cold is bound to give you a much-needed jolt, especially when you are tired. I prefer small fruits like blueberries and cherries because they are bite size and don't leave you with a large frozen hunk in your mouth. Just be careful not to eat too much fruit as you don't want your blood sugar to spike because you'll get that familiar sugar high, sleepy low feeling. That is definitely not helpful while you are trying to study.
