Hi everyone! I am Ashley K. I’m an undergraduate peer advisor for undeclared students. Here is some advice that I read and saw in multiple articles about foods that help you study. I’ve tried out a couple during past midterms and have seen great results due to it. Enjoy!
Foods to Help you Study
Now that the dreaded midterms and papers are on the way, most students rely on energy drinks, soda (diet coke was always my go to), coffee and junk food to keep them going through long nights at the Dubois Library.

I am not suggesting that these foods will magically help you memorize everything for your test the night before or write your 10 page paper for you 3 hours before its due. These nutritional tips are meant to aid you in your already good study habits that you should have such as:
