let me give you one example of said coolness:
at my place of higher education they do these things called "Finals Survival Kit". they send out a little flyer in the mail to the parents saying that if you send $15 they will deliver one to your student! WOOHOO!! what a deal! not. it includes things like a box of mak&cheese, left over halloween candy, crappy pencils, and a bent up scantron you couldnt use if you tried. i got one once (which i was thankful for) but told them not to worry about it again as it is kind of a waste of money.
but how could they let their baby girl go without a little lovin' during finals? so they one upped the school and out did any other finals survival kit out there!
it included the following note:
Lauren's Personalized Finals Week Survival Kit!
~Pixie Sticks for a little magic dust
~Popcorn to keep things popping
~Smarties to help you remember everything you have learned
~Starbursts for a burst of energy (which are not pictured because i promptly ate them)
~Cocoa to warm you up
~Tissues to wipe your brow when the studying gets intense
~Snickers for a few laughs
~Kisses cause we love you
~New pencils to keep you sharp
~Chocolate cause it makes everything all better!
my dad also added a little something something with a little sticky note that said "Andy Jackson is a good friend, sometimes" A good friend indeed that will have the privilege of buying gas to get me home for Christmas! and boy am i excited about going home! im going to hang out with my mom for 3 straight weeks. whats better than that?
anywho, i know youre all jealous that i have the best parents around. and you should be.
mi mamá y papá son las mejores y me encantan. gracias por todo!
