Well, L told us that her friend's sister will be driving to the university today for a visit and she kindly offered to deliver anything L needed from home. So we got a list yesterday afternoon and started gathering stuff. L said that at the moment, she would prefer anything that you can quickly microwave, such as the new line of Campbell's Soup at Hand cups. I also got her another small box of cereal and a box of instant oatmeal. She has a meal plan in residence and said the food's good, except that you have to arrive on time for meals else you'll miss them. She also asked for a couple of extra sweaters, her old, trustworthy tennis shoes and some eyeliner.
I must say that I get the impression these teenagers are obsessed with alcohol. And I think the reason is that there is a drinking age. You know, anything that's prohibited becomes somehow more exciting and 'must have'. Isn't that human nature?

I used to enjoy getting care packages ready for my kids when they were in college.
I do think we need a drinking age limit, though. I think there would be even more of a problem if there weren't. I think.
I loved it when my mom would bring up little frozen packets of food that she cooked. All my favourites in single serving size :-)
Care packages are so fun!
I send care package to my college age family members. They seem to really enjoy them. I love that L requested eyeliner. That's one item I hadn't considered.
Cheers, jj
Well, I don;t think it is human nature or otherwise every kid woudl want to do that. As it is, I never had any desire to drink underage nor really even now. Maybe the odd glass of wine for a special occassion a few times a year but that's it.
Yes, was talking to my college aged daughter and the drunk parties etc. I told her there are alternatives, and believe it or not, lots of kids, like her parents, went perfectly through college w/o ever getting drunk or wanting to. Still can;t figure out how anything coudl be worth the puking and migraine the next day. LOL.
hope your daughter is doing well there, regardless.
