....scared of being hungry??I leave to college at 7 am and I have work after classes. Oh God, I get so paranoid that I will get really hungry during the day! I get home around 6.30 pm. so its pretty much 12 hours out of home. And I would never buy any of that junk they sell on campus.

and i was the one was making fun of my mom, who would always pack snacks anywhere she goes. Was just wondering if there is anyone else out there? coz i feel like this fear is taking over my life hahaha

    Pack snacks like your mom has wisely emulated and feel safe knowing you are feeding yourself healthy snacks and you don't have to fear that hunger.
  • Take healthy snacks with you. I take bags with veggies with me to school. On my longer days i take some protein too. Yogurt or cut up meat. Apple W/peanut butter

    I, too, spend nearly 12 hours at school (7 AM to 6 PM). I bought a cheap, 97 cent styrofoam cooler. I pack 3-32 oz. water bottles, my lunch (usually a salad or sandwich, etc.) and several snacks in it. Load it with ice and keep it in my car. I have enough breaks in my day that I can usually get away for 20-30 mins to have a bite, and it really keeps me going all day without having to resort to buying anything fast-food-ish. Not to mention the calories and junk, buying your food everyday can get expensive, especially for students! Best of luck to you!

    see, that's my problem. I live close to campus, so I take the bus instead.. and the idea of having a huge backpack with food doesn't appeal to me.. I should prolly get a locker ,so i can leave some snacks there=)
