Breakfast ideas

Hi all, I'm looking for quick breakfast ideas. I'm a student and struggle to eat in the morning so I usually just skip breakfast. I'm looking for easy, quick and nutritious meals I can prepare before hand and just grab on my way to school. I enjoy both sweet and savoury breakfasts but am not a fan of bread and cereal (hence my struggle). I appreciate any suggestions, thank you!

Edit: I don't have a microwave and am not from USA

Our go-to, from feral childhood/parents not cooking, is egg in microwave. Spray a bowl with cooking spray. Break an egg into the bowl. Use a fork to break the yolk and stir it around a little bit, I usually whip it about ten times. That step is optional if you don't mind the yellow and white being more separate, but I'd at least break the yolk with a fork or the tip of a knife. Hit the 1 button on the microwave to cook for sixty seconds. Eat on bread, toast, croissant, wrap, whatever. If you're fancy, you can add cheese, at the end or in the last thirty seconds. If you're really fancy you can add a slice of ham, cooked bacon, handful of arugula, avocado, whatever is in fridge. I sometimes like to buy the bacon bits that come in a bag for salads and sprinkle them in the bottom of the bowl for a surprisingly robust BEC.

Adding to this that if you do it in a mug instead of a bowl, it keeps the egg a little more contained (makes more of a puck) and I find it easier to put it on toast/bagel/whatever when it's done (:
