Finals week — the bane of every college student’s existence — is in full swing at UF. That means endless lines at Dunkin’ Donuts Happy Hour, power naps in the booths at Library West and countless Smokin’Notes Facebook statuses. Looking back on the high school days, I’ve realized we had it so easy. Even though we thought finals were so hard back then, most of our teachers probably gave us detailed study guides and maybe even a few answers to exam questions. Now, our teachers show no mercy in making us memorize 16 chapters worth of material for one 150-question exam that either makes or breaks our final grade.
With so much pressure to succeed, finals week is undoubtedly a stressful time in which we’re more prone to get hungry, sick and tired. Luckily, Her Campus Nationals totally hooked us up with yet another amazing Survival Kit to get us through the week. With tons of amazing goodies from our sponsors, such as Chipotle, Kettle Brand and Cosabella, we’ve been able to make it through the week in one piece. Keep reading to learn about these awesome products!
Kettle Brand Hey Neighbor KitI’m a big advocate of study snacks, and nothing quite quenches my midnight munchies like chips and popcorn. Kettle Brand provided us with salt and pepper chips as well as maple bacon popcorn in an adorable and useful tote bag. Do you like putting syrup on your bacon when you eat breakfast? If so, then this popcorn is sure to rock your world.

Chipotle BOGO CardsThis might quite possibly be my favorite part of the #HCSurvivalKits thus far. When I’m hunkered down in a booth at the library with a study pal, nothing makes us happier than taking a study break to grab a delicious burrito bowl from Chipotle. Wait — scratch that; there is one thing that makes us happier, and that’s buy-one-get-one-free burrito bowls from Chipotle. If you don’t mind waiting in a 20-minute line, Chipotle is the ideal finals week lunch or dinner.
