Surely some of you had to digest some not-so-great food during your finals, amidst the studying and working to finish projects/papers.

For me, one night, I just had an order of 12 buffalo wings (mild) from a local wings restaurant for dinner. It was better warm, once they got cold it wasn't that great. I got a few spots of buffalo sauce on my work, and, to add to that, I was gaseous all night and next morning.

I also went through around 4 (or 5?) Cup Noodles meals in the course of that week. Also, I ate handfuls of Honey Nut Cheerios without milk. Not unhealthy but quite dry.

You?

raw ramen + bottle of water = full

Salsa flavored Combos and Bawls....blehk

I ate... the same sort of stuff I always eat.

Ditto.

However, maybe that's because I never really study for finals. If you pay attention throughout the semester, there really shouldn't be that much you need to brush up on. The biggest challenge I had final-wise was preparing for my Government essays on exam day. However, that's nothing a little Googling and Wikipediaing can't solve.

Dark Knight are you in High School or College? I'm only asking because I too never did much studying for exams in HS (where I also took government)... Found out I couldn't get away with that as easily in a university (common sense)

I get away with it just fine and I'm in a private college.

It depends on the classes, really.

My finals were easy, but I just finished my first year at a community college after four plus years at UC Berkeley. High school was more difficult, to be honest.

I don't really remember eating during my finals week, save for an energy bar in the morning. Of course, I don't really remember taking my finals. >.>

I usually make a big honkin' batch of food and freeze it for finals week.

Breakfast is usually cereal then, lunch is whatever I can scrounge together or from the hospital cafeteria.

dining hall food is never good

Been a LONG time since I had any finals, but I remember drinking a 3L Mountain Dew the night before my physics final so I could stay awake working physics problems. I went to bed at 4am and got up at 6:30am. Made a 96%. Thanks, Dew.

I had easy finals. Last semester, we stayed up for 48 hours drinking all the different minute made lemonade flavors. Pink being my favorite. Honestly, if you ever want to stay up late, these work almost better than expensive energy drinks. But they're not expensive.

I eat like crap year-round.

College. I'll be going in to my Sophomore year in the fall. Honestly I've never been big on studying, because if you don't know it the night before, you really are just going to stress yourself out more than you're going to do good for yourself. At least, that's how it's been in my experience.

Coffee.

I cooked up healthy meals and went hiking for a few miles every day during my finals.

This also describes the bulk of my diet during finals.

I have a friend who did something similar. He lived off of a giant bucket of KFC for a few days. He said it was one of the worst mistakes he's ever made.

My worst was simply nothing. I drank coffee, and that was pretty much it. Quite horrible for a healthy person, but what made it even worse was that it was during a period when I was trying to gain weight.

Actually, most of the time during Finals I skip eating altogether. I just forget sometimes, and am usually so busy it doesn't matter. If I do go eat, it's usually at 2 in the morning, at Johnny V's, a local restaurant open 24 hours.

Seniors in my college don't have to take the finals, because their grades have to be in early so the college knows who's going to participate in commencement.

Various mexican foods..... Which led to an atomic meltdown.

Burger king and mary jane.
