There is no better notification on your phone than an email from the school's mail room alerting you that you have a package.
Care Packages are an essential part of college and here is a list of the five necessities that your care package is in need of.
1. Candy, cookies, chips; basically any type of food.
Pro Tip: Homemade cookies are a plus. College is tough; you miss you parents a lot and receiving those cookies make you feel right at home, and take our mind off of all your work for a few moments.
2. A Small Note
Personally, I love hand written notes. My mom includes a letter in every care package, including how her week was and wishing me the best of luck. There is no bigger cheerleader than your own mother and reading her words of wisdom can truly get you through the week.
3. An article of clothing.
Even though I packed my whole wardrobe, I can always use a new shirt personally picked out from the ones that I love.
4. For girls, maybe even some make-up.
A girl can never have too many lip glosses. After all, my lip gloss be cool, my lip gloss be poppin.
