The phrase “you are what you eat” is rarely applicable to real life situations.

But when we’re talking about academic prowess (or lack thereof), our study snacks tend to reveal a lot about our habits. See for yourself.

Hummus And Celery Sticks

You’re the kind of person who procrastinates by doing yoga or watering a herb garden.

Green Smoothie

You work in study groups and complain that you’re definitely gonna fail and your tutor hates you so much. But you and I both know this is a lie. You’ll ace everything, make the tutor want to eat their own thesis and the uni will name a building after you.

An Apple

You like to keep things simple and break up your work into special designated blocks: 25 minutes of revision, 25 minutes of assignment work, 25 minutes of screaming into the void and a 30-minute study break in between the blocks.

Sultanas

You’ve noticed that the mature age student in your class is quite wealthy. While you know he’d probably never marry you, it can’t hurt to try and impress him with your appreciation for a high fibre diet. You gotta pay that HECS off somehow.

Kebab

For you, studying is a collaborative effort. It’s all about sharing ideas with people and being motivated to try harder by your peers. That’s why your power move is to borrow study notes from the weird guy in the tutorial who doesn’t stop talking about goats.

Chocolate Milk

It’s impossible to study without doodling your crush’s name in the margins of your workbook. Once you’ve written “Frank Walker 4eva” a few times, you’re able to get stuck into some revision.

Strawberry Milk

You’re physically incapable of doing anything without listening to music. It gives you energy and invigorates you with a feeling of motivation.

Tea And Biscuits

While you’re capable of getting things done, you prefer to avoid studying by procrasti-baking. If your engineering degree doesn’t work out, it’s nice to know that you can be the next incarnation of Nigella Lawson. Seriously, your jam drops are 10/10.

Barbeque Shapes

Sometimes effective studying is all about picking the right environment. That’s why you like to study at the uni bar. Nothing inspires you to study quite like watching depressed medical students playing pool.

Weet-Bix

Although your grades are abysmal, you hope that eating 48 pieces of iconic Aussie cereal will give you the GPA of champions.

Coffee And Croissants

Studying can be super stressful, and it’s easy to feel like staring at your notes is a waste of time. To keep yourself motivated, you’ve developed a system. If you do 20 minutes of work, you can reward yourself with the cute earrings you found on Etsy. Then you’ll highlight the notes you took in class and reward yourself with another coffee.

1-2 Cups Of Coffee

You like to live life in the fast lane: jaywalking in front of the police, eating chips near seagulls, and doing the readings five minutes before the class starts.

3-4 Cups Of Coffee

Someone’s got some serious cramming to do. While it’s impressive that you can write 3000 words in less than 24 hours, make sure your heart doesn’t spontaneously combust.

Muesli Bar

While you like to convince yourself and others that your study habits are healthy, it’s not a good look when you’re crafting elaborate bullet journal plans at 5am.

Mi Goreng

You’re a person who enjoys instant gratification. If your essay doesn’t immediately win the Nobel Prize for Literature, then it’s not worth writing right now. You need to stop, leave the essay alone for a few days and hope it will write itself while you watch Netflix.
