Each semester my kids have been in college, I've sent them survival kits for finals week. Most of the time, I have just ordered the packages from the university, which advertises to the parents of the students. This year, I learned that not all colleges offer those boxes of goodies. What to do? Design my own, of course!
Today I assembled "Finals Survival Kits," and in a moment of corny creativity, came up with a (hopefully cute) note to accompany the packages.
Update: I should have put tissue paper underneath the items to make the box look nicer. I probably didn't need to tell you that, though.
Here's what the note said:
I found the glasses, (light-up!) yo-yo, and bouncy ball in Target's party favors aisle. They came in packages of 4. The mechanical pencils and post-its I already had on hand, and the candy, fruit bar, and granola bar were also from Target. Everything fits in a small priority flat-rate shipping box.
It's not much, but hopefully will bring smiles to my students' faces!

Thankful thought: Thanks for hard-working students everywhere!

When you’ve been wearing your GLASSES so
much that you are at the end of your YO-YO rope, and feel like
a BOUNCY-BALL
bouncing off the walls, put down your PENCIL and POST-ITS,
and take a SNACKS break!
Good luck on
your finals! I’m sure you’ll do
fine. I’m so proud of you!
Love,
Mom
