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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
