If we’re being completely honest, finals kind of suck. Our eyes become bloodshot from staring at computer screens for hours on end as we write papers, study for exams, and put together final portfolios. Finding a study spot in Bapst or O’Neill is like climbing Everest… absolutely impossible. Thoughts of summer fill our heads as we try and find any possible way to procrastinate and even though summer vacation is just one week away, it seems unreachable.

Thanks to Her Campus, the Spring 2014 final exam period has become just a bit brighter. We were happily surprised to receive a “Finals Survival Kit” in the mail this past week, filled with delicious and nutritious study stacks to power us through our studying.

The kit featured product from some of our favorite brands, including Chipotle, LUNA, and popchips. Chipotle sent us a ton of buy-one-get-one-free burrito cards, making sure that we won’t go hungry this finals season. We are planning on using the bogo cards for our next study date – it is the perfect pre-library meal to keep us full and satisfied during those late night study sessions.

LUNA sent us an assortment of mini LUNA bars, the ultimate healthy nutrition bars for women. We are excited to try all three flavors – s’mores, coconut, and peppermint. The bars provide the nutrients women often lack, like folic acid, calcium, iron, vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals, which are essential to a woman’s everyday needs, while being as organic as possible. Sounds like the perfect thing to provide some much-needed brainpower!

Sometimes you just need to crunch away your stress with some potato chips. Luckily, popchips have all the deliciousness of potato chips, but none of the guilt. They’re naturally delicious and healthier, since they have all of the flavor but only half of the fat. We can at least try to be healthy during finals, right?

Thanks again Her Campus, Chipotle, LUNA, and popchips for making our final exams just a little bit better. All of the nutritious study snacks are sure to help us ace our exams, papers, portfolios, and presentations!
