Basically it's exam time around the corner so this whole week is study week for me. I'm wondering if anyone has any great, fantastic way to stay focus or to get an energy boost.

What do you guys think is a good snack, food, drink, etc to have handy when we're cramming and need to focus and stuff?

Like lately I've been trying fast food and uh... that doesnt work very well XD I've also tried taking little walks out in nature to refocus and stuff but that also gets tiring (and it's getting cold).

So yea, any advice or tips?

Monster... it's bad for you, yet it works for you...

[～带我走～]

I think anything sugary works well, like a chocolate chip cookie!
Or something you really like to eat. Little snacks are ideal, since you probably don't want to get fat.

bawls! (the energy drink) tastes a little like ramune and it gets me awake too (and im usually
immune to energy drinks). buuut it's bad for you. soooo, try something like green tea : )

[aiaigasa]

you could always try an energy shot... the 5 hour energy things shouldn't be so bad, they only have as much caffeine as a cup of coffee i think...
BUT a healthier alternative for me is a banana. ^^ keeps me awake through english class~

RED BULL! O_O
It's scary. I know it's really bad but if you want a lot of energy,
it's the way to go. ;D LOLOL!
It literally makes you shake.
You could probably finish the exam in mere minutes. LOL ;D

Or... a nice apple and exercise in the morning will do you good. (:

eggs, apples and bread for breakfast is good
esp eggs when trying to study

if your looking for a caffeinated drink, i'd say green tea since if has the caffeine but its not as bad for you as soda.

personally i don't like energy drinks 'cause then you have a crash ; i hate that lol ;
i only drink it if i have to

[love-yun]

tangerines and bananas work the best for me, especially bananas:D
it's supposedly really good for the brain and provides instant energy

granola.

most fruits will give you a boast in energy but it fizzles out quickly. it's better to stick with grains which give longer lasting energy.

but if you're not thinking of the nutritive side, how about chewing on a stringy piece of beef jerky. i'm sure that'd keep you awake.

[smartypantalon]

fruits, granola, & popcorn
(not altogether ...... unless you want to, haha)

I find that anything light is good for intensive studying :]

[blaise7259]

ooooooooo i am defo gonna try most of these apart from energy drinks, totally hate them!!!

[lovemelody.]

bananas!!!
lol XD

[sweet.N.yummy]

i was about to say bananas, like the person above.

[yongwonhi]

apples apparently keep you awake...
try coffee. or anything with caffeine.

starbucks doubleshots! haha

[x. S o R a]

try exercising when you feel sleepy.
sit up, squats or even push ups if you want.
lol, they keep me awake.
or just pinch yourself xD
or or or~ something with sugar 8D
sugar keeps me away (but makes me sorta hyper)
hmm.... never tried a banana before. im gonna try it~ o:

[redvelvet.]

i eat banana to get quick energy, whenever I'm about to go for a jog or something, like half an hour before, or try getting some fruits? idk but banana gives me instant boast, hope that helps hahas..

esp eggs when trying to study

ahuh, eggs are good for memorising and stuff x)

[vip_gd]

chocolate bars
*drools*
anything sugary

[vee.pee]

Chewing gum works for me

[小甜密]

Maple Syrup Oatmeal with milk.

It never fails to give me a satisfying feeling.

[squishybear]

Carbs. Fruits. Protein.

Oh, what I eat?
Energy drinks.
During finals week, I was drinking about 3 cans a day.
Caffeine withdrawal is brutal....
