They had multiple suitcases full of clothes, lots of Doritos and some sandwiches for the road. Brian’s mom, dad, and his two older siblings have already had their driving license at that time, so the four of them took turns at driving…

Even though that snack might seem harmless and even delicious, can turn out to be a bad choice. It can affect your whole learning process for that lecture, from reducing your attention span, to simply focusing on your stomach ache and not the lecture.
