8 Things College Students Would MUCH Rather Get In A Care Package Than Tea

In This Article:

Don't think we don't appreciate the thought, but maybe something we could enjoy a little more? Yes, tea is known to reduce stress, and there is an abundance of that going around, but maybe add something a little extra? Just to be safe, here are a few ideas:

1. Soft Kleenex

Living in the dorms with sick season upon us is a dangerous game. Please send the highest quality Walmart tissues you can find!

2. Microwaveable foods!

... that don't dirty any dishes or require a bowl. Mac and cheese in their bowls, ravioli, oatmeal. Almost anything that comes in the container it can be microwaved in.

3. Redbull

Sometimes we have multiple assignments due at the same time and procrastination is hitting hard. Trust us, this won't go to waste.

4. Holiday decorations

I want our dorm to look cute and festive, but decorations are a little expensive on a college budget. Mirror stickies are always a win in 308!

5. Fuzzy socks

We probably do not have any more space in our dorm, especially for socks, but I'll always find room for another pair of socks that'll brighten my day and warm my feet.

6. A handwritten note 

I love a random I love you text, but there is just something special about a person's handwriting especially when you don't see them on the daily anymore.

7. Chocolate

If I thought high school was stressful, I really had no idea what was coming for me in college. Chocolate will help! Bonus points if its Ghirardelli caramel filled squares.

8. Gift cards or cash money

As impersonal as this is, it is SO appreciated in college where finding time to work can be a pain and late night pizza shuttle delivery always sounds like a good idea.

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.

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!
