I would eat something with protein definitely.. if you have too many carbs, you will crash. Protein = brain food :)
As far as dressing, it's best to dress in layers. If you are too hot/cold you can add or remove them. wear something very comfortable (I wore sweat pants and Crocs- remember, not a Fashion Show). Try to get there early to make sure you find where you are supposed to be, etc. It will allieviate some of the stress.
Think POSITIVE thoughts. You graduated, you worked hard, you know the material, you CAN DO THIS!!
Go get 'em.. !!
Best,
Diane
