We've all heard about "stress-eating" and how we shouldn't do it because binge-eating large amounts of food in a short period of time can be bad for your health. However, there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't treat ourselves during those weeks where we have so much stress in the back of our minds that we need to make ourselves feel better.

I don't know about you, but for me, the worst kind of stress is the kind that hasn't even become stressful yet--the kind that is just lingering in the back of your mind reminding you of all the projects that aren't due soon, so you don't really have to start them, but the professors keep reminding you about them so often that you feel like you should have already gotten them done. Here's a list of some of my favorite foods to pig out on while I try to get the motivation to get a head start on assignments.

1. Popcorn

I'll start off with a fairly low-key one. Regular popcorn isn't even that bad for you- it's mostly just air. It's the stuff that gets added to it that can make more unhealthy but, again, YOU DESERVE IT. Overall, it's really the perfect snack.

2. Milkshakes

Just perfection. They're easier to eat on-the-go than ice cream, and they take longer to consume, so it makes your brain feel like it's eating more. It's hard for me to get anything other than cookies and cream.

3. Chick-fil-A

While we're on the topic of milkshakes, there's nothing better than one from chick-fil-a alongside your favorite menu item.

4. Bagels

I end up at the on-campus bagel shop a lot during my busiest weeks. I just need that extra comfort of carbs and sweet cream cheese that makes me feel better about all the work I have yet to get done.

5. Pizza

A classic. There's nothing better than getting a pizza at the end of a long week. Not only do you get to enjoy it that night, but there are also left-overs for the next day or two.

I wish you luck getting through your busy week. Remember to treat yo' self!
