Cooking is just really hard when you are so stressed out.

Finals are approaching, and this means double the stress and usually double the snacking. When you're running around the library searching for sources for that 10-page research paper you should have started weeks ago, or when you're in bed surrounded by hundreds of notecards, snacking really is the only option. Wave goodbye to the meals you previously had and hello to endless munching. Here is a list of some of my favorite snacks to have on hand at all times just in case I need to eat my feelings.

1. Popcorn

Buttery perfection created by only three minutes and twenty seconds in the microwave.

2. Cookies

There really is nothing in this world a warm and gooey chocolate-chip cookie can't fix.

3. Baked Lay's

I know, I know. A lot of people think they taste like cardboard, but I love them.

4. Pretzels and Peanut Butter

Add some chocolate and you've got everything you could ever want in one bite.

5. Chips and Queso

It doesn't even have to be fancy queso — I always just go store-bought.

6. Fruit Salad

It is probably a good idea to put something healthy into your body during finals week.

7. Assorted Candy

Always having a pile of candy next to you is very important while studying.

8. Ice Cream

A nice cold scoop of ice cream can really wake up the brain and body during those long nights of research.

9. Diet Coke

OK, sure I drink this one, but I cannot even began to tell you how much of this my apartment goes through in a week.

10. French Fries

After a disastrous attempt at taking an exam, golden french fries are always needed.


And last but not least: at the end of finals week to celebrate...

11. Pizza

You're finally done — you survived another finals week. Celebrate with as much pizza as you can eat.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
