This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chatham chapter.

Finals week gets messy. Somewhere between the third presentation and the fifth paper, anything sugar-spiked sounds like a good idea. This year, Her Campus came to the rescue: they sent every chapter a Finals Survival Kit packed with delicious, healthy treats! The semester may be over, but we’ll be buying more Chipotle burritos, LUNA bars and popchips to keep us fueled through our summer jobs and internships.

For many Chatham students, the end of a long day of classes means a trip to Chipotle. We were thrilled to get a bundle of buy-one-get-one-free burrito cards perfect for an afternoon meal between exams or a relaxing, post-study group dinner. Though Chipotle may not be a quick shuttle ride away for you over the summer, it’s definitely worth finding the one closest to your office. You’ll find inexpensive meal choices packed with fresh ingredients and available in endless combos. Skip the office kitchen and go for tacos, salad or chips & guac instead!

As students at a women’s college, we flipped for the mini LUNA bars. LUNA formulates their bars specifically with ladies’ needs in mind, so they’ve got plenty of nutrients – from calcium to iron – that will boost health during even the most stressful week. Bonus? They’re delicious and come in a variety of sweet and salty flavors. So if you’re gearing up to present a major project to your boss in June, July or August, fuel up with a LUNA bar!

And let’s be real: during a difficult week, staying healthy is often the last thing on your mind. If you’re craving something indulgently salty and crunchy, skip potato chips and pick up some popchips. They’ll give you half the fat but all of the great taste: from barbecue potato to nacho cheese, the flavors are amazing! If you’re working over the summer, swap out the traditional candy dish for a bowl full of mini bags: you may end up with the most popular cubicle on the floor!

We are so grateful to Her Campus, Chipotle, LUNA and popchips for giving us all of these incredible treats. Thank you for making us smile and keeping us healthy!
