Staying Late on Thanksgiving Eve

The library is a ghost town.  Well actually as I look around there’s a handful of students left, but still a lot less than usual.  I don’t blame them, but I’m going to study until the doors close.  The serenity will help me study.

Exam Food

We all want to earn the best score possible on our tests.  Beyond your knowledge, outside factors can help increase your grade.  One of those factors is the food you eat.

Before the exam, make sure you eat a high carbohydrate, high protein breakfast and/or snack.  However, you want to eliminate any high fat foods.  As you might expect, you don’t want a large meal.  Ideally, you will have a light to medium breakfast.

Suggested foods include toast, eggs, orange juice, milk, banana, blueberries, cereal, and turkey.  If your exam is a little later in the day, take a snack and sports drink with you to keep your brain functional.

Protein is said to increase your alertness.  Collectively, these foods also serve to increase your energy.  Research has shown blueberries improve your memory.  Of course, you don’t want to limit these foods within your diet to exam day as the beneficial effects will help you more if you integrate a healthier diet on a regular basis.
