Peanut Butter and water!

This is the life a college student. This is a handbook on how to survive college and the first few years after.

Rule 1# Peanut butter and water!

Surviving college is like watching the sun set at noon, the time takes forever and you can get a horrible sun burn if you dont have the proper supplies. Morning classes can be a torture. Waking up at 6, running out the door without coffee, breakfast, or your glasses. Then sitting through a 2 hour class about the history of the apple tree (of course you dont care and you would rather watch your hair grow!). This has happened to me more then once! Sometimes, I want to roll up in a little ball and cry, while chanting the words " I want my mommy" in Spanish to practice for the upcoming test.
If you feel like this in the morning, take a bottle of water(NOT COFFEE). Coffee drains you quickly. Right when the professor asks you to describe the foundation of the ancient Western civilization in atleast 3 examples, you feel like takinga nap on your desk using the textbook as a pillow. Water keeps you going and awake. Water also helps with hunger pains, so dont worry about the first year weight gain!
Last but not least, I say peanut butter makes life better! Do you realize how many kinds of peanut butter are out there! Its incredible. Dark chocolate peanut butter, cranberry peanut butter, and my favorite, extra chunky peanut butter. This is a fast breakfast. It sounds nasty but it works!. Take a spoon and spoon out a chunk of the peanut butter and eat that on the way to class(either plain or on a piece of bread). Protein will keep you awake, in shape, and builds up the memory. It also tastes incredible.
Good luck and God speed,
The Junior!
