Fish oil comes in capsules, you can just take one in the morning (and/or evening, depends on which ones you take). Vitamins come as 'pills' or 'powder' too... Though it's better to get nutrients with food.
Fish oil can help improve memory too! (Google 'fish oil memory' if you wish)
By unhealthy food do you mean sweets? They can give a momentary 'high', but sugar actually 'robs' the body of good minerals and vitamins.
If you have chocolate cravings you might be lacking magnesium, which is in dark leafy greens and elsewhere too!
Could you record some stuff with the cell phone or voice recorder and 'play' it for you on your walk? That way you could be 'studying' and walking?

Thanks for the thoughtful advice! There is a convenience store (for the boarders) on the other side of campus below the dormitories but I often find myself too lazy to walk there. I'll probably stock up on something before the cafeteria closes though. Yep, I've heard too about fish oil and memory, so I might give that a try! As for unhealthy food, it could be anything - chocolate, pastries, fried stuff... I feel so morbidly obese if I do eat these so my pattern tends to be eating as little as possible for a few days and then pigging out before getting even more depressed. It's a vicious cycle I'll have to break. The voice recorder idea sounds very helpful! However I hate my voice with a passion and would probably scourge my ears out listening to myself
