1. Small jar of Nutella. Caution: avoid the large jar because you’ll probably finish it in one sitting and deeply regret it.

5. Sabra Hummus with Pretzel cups to appease your growling stomach in between classes.

7. Double Stuffed Oreos because regular Oreos no longer hit the spot like they used to.

8. 5-Hour Energy to get you through the weekday nights.
