I had oreos for breakfast this morning. I know I’ll regret saying that because my parents read my blog.. But I did, and I mentioned it so I could talk about how bad of an idea it turned out to be. This entry will be, generally, me preaching health, so if that’s not your thing I won’t be offended if you decide to look no further. I’m going to try and pry the inexpensive, calorie-filled snack from your fingertips with these two tips. So, please enjoy and try not to make a Hubbard’s run tonight (I’m looking at you Vanier).
Having the power to buy your own groceries comes with repercussions.
For those of you who do buy groceries, even though you have a meal plan, this is for you guys! Don’t buy sugary snacks that last more than one night. For example, don’t buy a whole pack of cookies, buy one cookie. The thing is, if it’s in your room, you can bet your bottom-dollar that you’re going to eat it. You spent your money on it, and it’s a lot closer than lugging your butt to the commonsblock, don’t kid yourself. This also goes for things like Nutella, don’t buy a tub of it, don’t buy it at all. We all know you’ll end up sitting at your computer desk trying to do calculus while shovelling Nutella in with a spoon. At least, I know that is what would happen to me.
Put down the pop-tarts.
At the risk of sounding like your Mom, don’t buy food that expires in two years. There’s a reason bananas go bad in a week or so. I’m sure it’s not news to you that those pop-tarts that expire in November of 2015 aren’t probably the best “food” to be putting into your system. I’m aware they taste good, and I surely bought them when I first came because my parents weren’t here to tell me I couldn’t.. (one of my weaker moments in Save-On) but, put the artificial snacks down. Yes, I know they’re a lot cheaper than fruits and veggies, and that you’re likely on a tight university budget. But listen, your university budget probably won’t be able to withstand all the new jeans you’ll have to buy once you don’t fit into your tight skinnies anymore. You’ll have pop-tarts to thank for that.
