Don’t you miss the days of care packages? Unearthing a little slice of home, filled with boxes of K-cups, fuzzy socks, a sweet handwritten note from mom and the Cosmos that have been piling up since you left. Now think back to the last time you received a care package. If you’re a freshman, it was probably yesterday. Your absence is still fresh in the minds of your parents. Cherish it. Unfortunately, as your college career continues, care packages seem to dwindle and altogether disappear. Mom and dad figure that you’ve got everything handled. “She probably doesn’t need a jumbo pack of Emergen-C,” they think. (We always need Emergen-C, guys) If this really resonates with you, it may be time for you to start sending care packages to yourselves, Collegiettes, in the form of subscription boxes! Everyone loves getting mail, so who cares who sent it? It’s like Christmas morning, every month. Treat yo’self and check out these bundles of goodies!
