Finals Week Survival Kits Save the Day

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

As I go through my planner, skim through my notes, and begin penciling in important calendar dates, the realization comes over me that week eight has somehow snuck up and finals are rapidly approaching.  I begin questioning where the time has gone and if I can really read my entire text book in the last two weeks.  Luckily for our Her Campus team, Nationals has eased the agony of finals week with this quarter’s Her Campus Survival Kits.   

Counting down the final weeks of the school year with the smell of summer right ahead, our HC Survivals Kits prep us for the long nights and “marathon study sessions” soon to come.  Saving the day from hunger and fatigue, some of our partners have provided our collegiettes with yet another awesome swag bag full of finals-friendly goodies.  Powered by Chipotle, LUNA, and Popchips, Nationals made sure to provide fuel for our bodies and brains (that wouldn’t leave us dreadfully regretting our nutritional choices).

Priding themselves on wholesome ingredients and “food with integrity,” Chipotle (@ChipotleTweets) has graciously given our team a buy-one-get-one-free card for those tireless of days of studying when we just can’t seem to muster up enough energy to cook. 

Committed to quality nutrition and female health and empowerment, LUNA (@LUNAbar) is the perfect partner for our Her Campus team! Their mini LUNA bars are the perfect way to celebrate the conclusion of finals week or even help power you through your day-long study sesh. 

Guilt-free and tasty, Popchips (@popchips) are the ideal snack for any time and any place.  A mere 100 calories per bag, Popchips make a deliciously healthy treat – boasting no preservatives, no trans fat, or artificial sweeteners.  Just like the name, Popchips are a great grab-and-go snack, easy to pop a few in your mouth on the road.

Thanks to HC Nationals, Chipotle, LUNA, and Popchips, we are eager and prepared to kick finals in the butt and say hello to summer!
