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.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
