Anxious students await letters from home youVe got By Chelsea Anderson While embarking on their first time away from home, students experienced the excitement and often the dis- appointment of mail. Varying in form from the simple letter to the oversized package, students checked their mail daily, eager to see if someone cared enough to send something. There were those students who received packages weekly, and others that weren ' t so lucky. LSA freshman Ian Young received a mere two packages the during the semester. I received mail only two times the entire semester, it was depressing! said Young, comparing his mail to his girlfriend ' s 20 packages. The first item was the movie Spiderman on DVD from his girl- friend, and the second a package of food from a neigh- bor. I wish people would send me letters, Young added. In early September, the mail trend began with a boom as parents, relatives, and friends flooded the dorm mail- rooms, but as the time wore on, the load decreased. Steph- anie McNees, a freshman in LSA, received an interesting surprise from her mother during the first few days of college life. Her mom sent her The Twelve Days of College, which consisted of various college necessities over the course of twelve days. The first package really threw me off because I had no idea what my mom was doing, McNees said, and by the end, I had 12 lottery tickets, 22 sticky note pads, 36 floppy disks, 30 packs of gum, 40 stamps, 42 mini muffins, 40 Reese ' s, 36 envelopes, 42 packs of M . Ms, 30 Slim J ims, 22 storage bags, and 12 batteries. It was pretty overwhelming. When a holiday passed, the mail increased as stu- dents received special care packages for the different holidays from home. In addition, there were special care packages put together which family members could purchase for their students. The care packages consisted of various snacks, coffee, and treats and were available during exam times cost- ing between $30 and $50. Unfortunately my mom didn ' t send me any of the University ' s care packages, but what she sent throughout the year made up for it, said McNees. Picking up flowers from the troK deSK of no ' dorm, a student smiles at her surpnse gift. Mail and special packages made average days better and stressful exam times brighter. Y.
