From food connoisseur to food connoisseur, or maybe in better terms, just snacker to snacker, we have all been there, where the thought of food simply takes over our own ambition to do well. Like an annoying little sibling we can be trying as hard as possible to ignore, there is nothing worse than being half way through an article on "Psychology's Perception On Social Media" and thinking what in the world did I even just read. More often than not, we can put the blame on the chocolate covered almonds we were just thinking about. Well, through experience, here is a list of the best snack foods to eat while studying that satisfy hunger for the time being.

1. Pretzels and humus: Protein in the humus and pretzels for the carbs, pretzels and humus is a perfect snack while studying.

2. Lollipops: While this definitely sounds off-putting, you can catch me studying with a fruity flavored lollipop at all times. Enjoying a lollipop reduces stress by multitasking and can satisfy any sweet tooth.

3. Coffee: The caffeine combined with sugar boosts energy and actually helps with concentration. The variety of coffee flavors also adds a little bit of excitement to a very boring day in the dreaded library. With latte in hand, anything is possible.

4. Popcorn: This filling snack gives the satisfactory of salty chips, yet is less noisy and obnoxious to eat in a crowded study room. Salted or cheesy, popcorn is an excellent choice for a growling stomach.

5. Sushi: For the days when work piles up and there is only quite literally 30 seconds to grab lunch, sushi is the go-to move. Mess free and fresh, to-go sushi from a local Japanese restaurant is a treat for the days when we simply can't spend more than a minute picking out a meal, yet are still starving.

6. Granola bar: From peanut butter chocolate chunk to salted caramel, granola bars are a classic. Tossing them in your bag for later, it is the best finding a granola bar when you are least expecting it in the pocket of your backpack.

Next time your concentration fades and food is the only thing on the mind, try one of these techniques to get back into your study mood, without the distraction of snack cravings.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
