My Secret Snack Breaks in Class

I'm sure every teacher has their own little quirks and secrets they keep to themselves. For me, it's my secret snack breaks during class. Yes, I know the rules say no eating in classrooms, but when you've been up since 4:30 AM grading papers and planning lessons, sometimes a little bit of chocolate or chips just hits the spot. It started with a few discreet nibbles out of sight of the students, but now it's grown into a daily routine that I struggle to break. The real question is, why am I so drawn to these small moments of indulgence? Is it the sweet taste offering me a temporary escape from my responsibilities, or just sheer exhaustion that drives me to snack in class? Whatever the reason, as much as I know it's not professional, there are times when those few bites feel like the only thing keeping me going until lunchtime.
