I'm sure that you could be studying for a final as you read this. We could all use that extra time and preparation. Finals is the season where you do not know what time or day it is, due to the frustrating and trying times that our professors so kindly entrust to us. For one thing, I know that I do not eat right during finals time. I do not even have time to cook...

With that said, it is crucial to feed your body healthy food, fruits, and liquids during the upcoming time sensitive weeks. Students may be lucky to get seven hours of sleep a night, if that. Below are ten foods for you to pick up before you begin cramming for finals. Let your body allow your brain to function and ace those exams!

1. Berries

A variety of berries have vitamin C and anthocyanins, which are super healthy antioxidants. If you eat lots of blueberries, your memory will improve very quickly. Get to eating those yummy berries!

2. Walnuts


Sure, these taste amazing in brownies, but try to substitute that chocolate goodness with some fruit. Walnuts, in particular, assist in memory development and improve learning techniques. Walnuts also have oils that improve cardiovascular health. Want to lower your blood pressure that you think is through the roof during finals? Eat some of these!

3. Acaí

The acaí berry is included in a category aside from berries, because of its superfood level. Acaí reached extreme popularity during the past two years and there is a reason! The color is stunning and the taste is spectacular. Many people are thrown off by the bold color, but acaí bowls are the best thing in the world. It is the healthiest dessert you can have. Acaí has antioxidant compounds which boost brain effects. It improves concentration, which we all need.

4. Dark Chocolate

If you are like me and cannot stand the bitter taste of dark chocolate, try Brookside Clusters! They are the only dark chocolate product I can eat without being disgusted, and taste insanely good. Dark chocolate is known to improve moods, which we can all benefit from during our exams. It also improves memory and cognitive function.

5. Quinoa

QUINOA IS ACTUALLY GOOD. I always wondered how that tiny grain could have flavor, but if you know how to cook well, season that ish and cook it! If you are a fan of sweetgreen salads, grab one during finals and add some healthy quinoa to it! Quinoa is a good source of iron, which helps us people who are always cold. It is said to speed up the process of information dispensation. This comes in handy when we have not looked over our notes for a month!

So get to eating these superfoods and other yummy snacks! It won't take you more than twenty minutes at the grocery store.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
