Eating Habits of Finals Week

It's the beginning of December and it's finals week. Everyone is stressing out about papers and projects they haven't finished or even started, and studying for exams keeps us all up until the early morning. My sleep schedule completely shifts during finals week, and in response to this so does my eating schedule. My roommate and I have been averaging about 4-7 hours of sleep a night for the past couple of weeks, going to sleep around 5am most nights, so because we are awake longer, we get hungry and eat more. Our snack and easy mac and ramen storage depleted quickly since that was the only food option we had past 2am after the Loft closes. The library is open 24hours for this week, so when you're working away (or procrastinating) in there for hours and hours, you lose track of time, and by the time you realize you haven't eaten in 10 hours, it's too late and the dining halls are closed. I've gotten used to always carrying a couple small bags of snacks in my backpack, so I don't have to worry about walking all the way to one of the dining halls or about making sure I get there before they close. It's super practical and gives me something to distract myself from my work when I need a break. Also my friends are very appreciative of the snacks I keep on me.
