Ugh. Its finals time again. Most college students, me included, are completely jam packed with last minute papers, projects, and studying. There’s barely any time to do anything else but study, and certainly no time to prepare something to eat. So with this article, the last of the semester, I wanted to do every student at the campus a favor and do a snack article. I’m talking quick and easy things designed to go along with your jam-packed day. It may not all be brain food, but its sure going to hit the spot when it’s needed most.
