What College Students Really Want In Care Packages

There is nothing better than checking your phone and receiving that unexpected text message from your campus mail room, saying you have received a package. Our parents, siblings, and relatives usually try their hardest to put together the best care package, but sometimes stray from what we actually want. Here are 8 things college students really want in care packages:

1. Comfort food

When you're up until all hours studying or stressing, all any college student wants is their favorite snack.

2. Healthy food

As much as I love junk food, it gets old after constantly eating it. It's hard to eat healthy in college and I would much rather bring a granola bar to class than a bag of chips.

3. Tea/hot chocolate


A hot drink before bed is enough to remind you of home!

4. Gift cards

Gift cards keep you from spending money on things you don't need and give you a reason to treat yourself.

5. Socks

After doing a couple loads of laundry at college, you will probably have half of the socks you started with. Bonus points if you send your college student fuzzy socks during winter.

6. Cold medicine

Stress and sleep deprivation have a way of impairing your immune system, making most college students get sick.

7. Fuzzy blanket

Sleeping in a dorm room during a snowstorm is almost equivalent to sleeping outside. Any college student would love another blanket, especially if it smells like home.

8. ChapStick

Because who can actually keep track of their ChapStick until it runs out?


No matter what you send, you really can't go wrong with a care package.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
