As someone who was perpetually a student (at least, it felt like it) and who now serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami, it compels me to tell you that I was/am a MASTER at eating in class. When classes are marathons (hours and hours on end), the worst thing you can do is spill out of a 9 PM class and run to Wendy’s. Coming to class prepared with an arsenal of food is a mark of pride, and bonus points for choosing foods that aren’t offensively loud or stinky. However, I never had any shame eating #tunaonaplane because I will get my omega-3s no matter what. Because CIVIL RIGHTS.
Here’s a list of class snack hack ideas, most of which are quiet as the weird kid in the back of the room who never says anything all semester and then does an interpretative dance as his final exam (real life stories from the University of Florida Linguistics program).

Essentially Yours,
Monica
