So my favorite exam food choice is quite a bizarre combination but here you are: Oceanspray Cran-Grape Juice, Lifesaver Gummies, Cookies and Cream ice cream, and strawberry Poptarts. That combination has gotten me through many a stressful night since sophomore year of high school. It works quite well!

My favorite exam comfort food would be a Cook Out milkshake! It’s a nice break to drive out to get it in between the stressful studying.

Guilty pleasure: those yogurt covered pretzels from the Sundry…real finals food though: I love getting hot chocolate this time of year!

I would definitely say my favorite exam time foods are late night Cook Out runs with friends or the free pizza provided in the ZSR during exam week. (which also can be a very social experience!)

My friends and I hole up in Tribble during exam time and order pizza (usually Burke St.).
