There is no greater feeling than checking the mail and finding a care package from your beloved family members back home. College students receiving care packages is equivalent to little kids opening presents on Christmas morning… that is until we realize that although the gesture was nice, there is nothing useful or wanted inside and end up giving out the items to our friends. Here are five things college students actually want to receive in a care package.
1. Gift Cards
Because our shopping and hunger needs depend on them.
2. Home Baked Goodies
For the times that we get a little homesick for Mom’s cooking, and for that time in the quarter where everything else becomes absolutely repulsive.
3. Toiletries
Because nothing sucks more than getting in the shower and realizing you are all out of shampoo, your razor blade is dull, and your toothbrush is disgusting… and then having to go out and be an adult and buy them yourself.
4. School Supplies
We are in school for 4 (hopefully) years, we can never have too many school supplies. Plus, we will be way happier when we receive them in a care package rather than waiting in a ridiculous line at the bookstore during midterm and finals week.
5. Money
I think this one is a given…
