As exam season is quickly approaching, as are the swarms of bodies that will flood the libraries with their loud conversations and, even worse, their loud and distracting snacks.
Instead of eating an apple or a bag of chips, do yourself a favor and avoid those life threatening glares from peers by eating our snack suggestions below (beware: some snacks require preparation!)
No Preparation: Rip em’ open
- Fruit — think bananas & grapes but avoid apples at all costs
- Soft sandwiches — think PB&J on un-toasted bread
- Cheese — think sticks or Baby blue bell
- Nuts — almonds, pecans, peanuts, etc.
Preparation: Snacks to open before entering the library
- Gummy snacks — think gummy worms and Sour Patch kids
- Goldfish — preferably in a bag, not the box
- Alpine bagel or food from Wendy’s
For other times when a snack just won’t satisfy that hunger, there are plenty of spots on Franklin street to soothe your soul
- Feeling down? Get coffee at Starbucks!
- Need something greasy and sugary at the same time? Check out the buns & milkshakes at Al’s Burgers
- If you want your food to match your messy life? Hit up Moe’s if you're in a hurry or Chipotle if you love yourself.
- Just bombed that exam and you’re 21? Drown your sorrows at He’s Not with a blue cup
If you don’t have time to run to Franklin for comfort food or are confined to your dorm room here are some other options for comfort food.
- Kraft mac 'n' cheese — they’re trashy but have carbs!
- Oreos — a universal favorite and they’re vegan so you can share with literally anyone
- Sugary cereal — swallow some Lucky Charms for some good juju before your next exam
