It’s down to the final two weeks.
Finals are next week, and that means it’s CRUNCH time! I will probably be packing lunch/dinner every single day and eating in the library.
Yesterday, I spent ALL day on campus. I had lab at 7:30 am, and stayed until after my last class ended at 10:30pm. I was actually pretty productive, and I hope to continue the week on that trend!
I started my morning with a bowl of cereal:
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s cereal
- banana
- 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1 TBL ground flax
I was in a rush to get out the door, so I packed a hodge-podge of food.
I really had no plan of what meal was what when I packed it.
I ended up eating it all at random times, but since I was busy I don’t really remember when. I never felt starving/too hungry so that was great.
My main meal was a turkey and provolone sammie on grain bread:
Pink Lady apple (so tart!) and a clementine:
Trader Joe’s Sweet Potato Chips:
Finally found it! The Stonyfield Pumpkin Pie Yogurt:
….which I topped with some homemade trail mix:
My trail mix included:
- Honey Roasted Soynuts
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- golden raisins
- goji berries
- dark chocolate chunks
(I also had a 1/2 of a subway sandwich that my friend shared with me, but I left my camera at home).
It’s going to be a crazy two weeks! I have a design project, two quizzes, 5 final exams, and a half marathon!
It’s time to get cracking!

Good luck with studying and projects AND THE HALF MARATHON!!
Good luck with the last two weeks! I still haven’t found that pumpkin yogurt
Good luck with studying for finals! I’m sure you’ll do great!
Your homemade trailmix looks yummy!
Even though it’s crazy at least this semester will be over soon!! YAYYY!
Good luck with it all Megan! I was an engineering undergrad and those end of semester design projects + finals were stressful time.
Woo hoo, the final stretch! Good luck with all your exams
I think it is awesome that you pack all that healthy food to take with you, especially considering your schedule and all the stress. You go girl!!
Girl, I know exactly what you mean about “living on campus”. Only two more weeks – we can do it! Good luck!
Good luck with all your upcoming work! Your trail mix looks so good. I still haven’t seen that pumpkin yogurt anywhere.
Good luck with everything! That trail mix looks TOO good
Good luck! I have four papers and three exams! Ahhhhh!!!!!
Not too long ago (ok, 5 years, but it seems like yesterday), I was moving, looking for a job, writing 2 theses (is that plural for thesis?), and training for a half marathon. I will never know how I did it! You’ll be SO PSYCHED when it’s all over and it’s the holidays! Yay!
That trail mix looks delish! Good luck studying.
It’s so good to show that you’re maintaining a healthy eating pattern when you’re studying for exams. I remember just shoving my face full of crap during that time. Listening to your body and saying ‘is this cause I am hungry or is this because I want to not study’…I always had to ask myself this. I hope that you’re staying focused. You’re almost done..keep going.
Oh final’s time. I remember how stressed and frantic I got! But it seems like you are going into it with a postive and healthy mindset, ready to get it all done
How are those sweet potato chips from TJ’s? They look good!
I really like the sweet potato chips! But… i really like all chips. LOL
Oh goodness stay sane!! Finals are next week too for me, but this quarter hasn’t been that bad so I’m not too stressed.
Good luck with everything lady
It’s crunch time on my end too! I have one exam, 2 quizzes and one test due next week, then a micro exam then a lab exam!! Ahhhh just shoot me now lol..we will get through it
Long as we have our Jasons right?? Haha
wow you got your hands full!! good luck with everything!
Yay not long to go now! I am sure you will do brilliantly!!!
Aaah the infamous pumpkin pie stonyfield yogurt…where in Orlando did you find this gem???
You can do it!
Good luck with everything! I’m sure you’ll pull through with the same grace you found as you worked through everything else life threw at you this quarter/semester!
Good luck!! Finish strong friend. I hope you are super productive and get all you need to get done, done! You’re doing an amazing job!
Those Tj’s sweet potato chips are my favoriteeee. Well, the veggie chips are my ACTUAL favorite from Tj’s…..but i love the sweet potato ones too! My fave non-veggie chip though…..TJ’S PITAS W/ SEA SALT. Best things ever!
Good luck with everything!!!!
