In the spirit of my school's midterms just passing, here are some snacks that kept me fueled during my 8-hour library days. 

1- M&M’s. More specifically, Peanut M&M’s. Sweet and Savory.

2- Purple (Sweet Chili) Doritos. Although they are dusty, they are the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and salty.

3- Nerd Clusters. More specifically, the pink ones. The perfect combination of sweet and tart.

4- Bagels. I know it's very Jewish, but you can’t go wrong. I like blueberry with cream cheese and cinnamon sugar or a plain bagel with cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning.

5- Snickers. Chewy, salty, and sweet, and has peanuts, so it's technically healthy. Sorry to my peanut-free friends. 😔

6- Pirates Booty. They are light, airy, and cheesy. Just so yum.

7—Cucumbers dipped in cream cheese. I know it sounds strange, but don’t knock it until you try it. It’s crunchy and creamy, so the flavors complement each other well. 

8- Goldfish. This is a classic, so I don’t think I need to elaborate.

9- GoGo Squeeze. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, and one of these equals an apple. 

10- Last but not least, any type of berry. They are a classic cult snack, taste delicious, and are bite-sized.

I hope these make the midterm season and studying easier and a little bit more fun!
