You ever have those days at college where you leave your dorm or apartment super early in the morning and don't get back to home base until it's dark outside? When you're out and about all day long, on your feet, driving, working, learning, it's easy to forget to eat a solid meal, especially when you schedule your classes back-to-back. Even with a full agenda, eating at least three meals a day is vital to your health, as well as your ability to study. Plus, having a big sandwich or salad in the middle of the day for lunch is just good, clean fun. Make sure you don't miss a meal or snack session on campus by packing food ahead of time. These stylish lunch boxes are both trendy and ideal for keeping in your book bag or attaching to your daily tote.
