My niece is finishing up here freshman year as a nursing student and I want to send her the ultimate care package for her finals this year.
Edit: wow, thank you guys so much for all the suggestions! I’m really excited to put this all together for her :)
As a side note, I’m only six years older than my niece so I haven’t been out of college that long myself, but wow I do not remember Adderall being such a thing in college! I actually take stimulants for ADD on a daily basis and for me, they just make me feel normal. Low key jealous of everyone who can use them to hyper-focus!
Couldn't record the kill though. Just the screenshot.

basically what the title says. a friend of mine got covid on top of all the other garbage happening in her life and now can’t even spend christmas with her family. any ideas for things i can put in a care package or gift basket that i’m planning on sending her?
My friend let me know today that she miscarriaged over the weekend. She didn't open up to me much about it but I think it was early on. I've never been through this myself, nor has any other of my friends so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how best to support her.
I don't want to overstep and I know if she wants to open up she will with time. But I thought a care package would be a nice gift to show her I'm thinking about her.
Any ideas would be great, as well as any advice on how to be supportive.
I'm looking to send my girlfriend a care package ahead of her finals which are next week. Yes, we're in a long distance relationship, so I felt the gesture would both make her feel better ahead/during her exams and get me some brownie points. Obviously more the former than the latter.
With that in mind, I ask, what are some good things I can put in there? I was thinking highlighters and pens but she probably has more than enough of those things. I will obviously get some personalized things that I know she would love as snacks, etc, but in terms of more general things that every law student may need during finals, I'm a little stumped.
Thanks!
Someone over at /r/college just posted that their mom sent them a care package. It brought back memories as I thought of all the awesome support my parents gave me in college.
I'd like to pay it forward but my own child is still five years away from college. So. Are you a student facing down a tough week of exams? Is your mailbox devoid of TLC? Would a small care package make it just a little more bearable? Enough so that you'd give a stranger your college address?
Drop me a reply here (I'll PM the candidate for their address) and then STOP MONKEYING AROUND ON REDDIT AND GET BACK TO STUDYING.
ETA: Okay folks, I got a lot of replies and a lot of compelling stories. I wish I could send you ALL something, but that is not possible. I will be contacting a few of you for addresses; it's going to have to come down to drawing names out of a hat. Wish I had the money to send them all, because I know how what a grind finals can be (I went to grad school which means I voluntarily signed up to repeat this drill many times).
Even if I am not able to send something, let me say this: I'm proud of you, I know it's tough, you're amazing for getting through it. I can also tell you that real life will probably never be this frantic as the end of term feels, but you still learn usable skills from the pressure you're going through now.
