As Finals are approaching, the stress starts to become too real. And if you are like me you are going to stress eat. And when you stress eat it is probably on the peanut M&Ms in the vending machine... at least that is my go to snack. However, this time around I am going to try something different. I have gone on the mission to find some healthy easy snacks which will help to keep the cravings away and won't make you gain 20 lbs in the process. These will also probably give you more energy too instead of making you sleepy after devouring one of the large party sized bags of chips that you picked up from Walmart. So good luck to you with the stress of finals, and I hope these snacks can help you as I hope they will help me!!

1. Roasted Chickpeas

These are a quick healthy snack that you can season in so many different ways! It makes so many you will be set for a while and shouldn’t feel any shame in eating them! Here is a link to a few recipes! http://www.madefrompinterest.net/roasted-chickpeas...

2. Hummus

This snack will help fill you up without over indulging and help stop cravings for other snacks. It is also a healthy snack that won’t make you feel too bad about stress eating.

3. Trail Mix

Trail mix full of nuts, berries, and dark chocolate will help curb cravings as well as reduce stress. Studies show that walnuts help to relieve stress and dark chocolate helps keep you full on limited amounts! http://kristineskitchenblog.com/energy-boosting-tr...

4. Yogurt


Having a nice yogurt parfait full of fruits and granola will help keep you calm and release some nice feel-good neurotransmitters to help you get through that study session.

5. Dark Chocolate covered Almonds


Dark chocolate curbs cravings and this snack is proven to help relieve stress by reducing stress hormones. I personally like the ones from Trader Joe's!

6. Peanut Butter and Fruit


Having a banana or apple dipped in peanut butter will help keep you full, as well as give you the energy to keep studying through finals week. Potassium is also very helpful in keeping blood-pressure low which will help to minimize the effects of stress

7. Smoothies


Smoothies are full of antioxidants and vitamins that will help keep you healthy and energized as well as fill you up in a way that won’t fill you out! Here is a link to a couple healthy smoothie recipes!http://diyjoy.com/healthy-smoothie-recipes

8. Ants on a Log

Bring it back to the elementary school years with some celery, peanut butter, and raisins that will give you energy and protein to keep you moving and filling fiber that will keep you from snacking too much!

9. Avocado

Avocados are full of stress relieving vitamin B as well as other nutrients that are help to lower blood pressure! So either snack on an avocado with some whole wheat toast, plain, or having some guacamole with veggies!

10. Oranges/Orange Juice

Whether you want a nice refreshing drink or to have more of a snack the vitamin C in these will help to lower blood pressure and is a nice refreshing snack to keep you motivated!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
