Raise your hand if you remember moving away to college. It was your first time away from home. It was exciting. It was terrifying. It was exhilarating. It was lonely. I remember sitting in my dorm room after my parents had left thinking, "Okay. What now?"
College was a great time in my life. It was one of those periods where you have to grow up and you're allowed a lot of mistakes in the meantime while you work to figure it all out. In the end, you've grown up a lot (although I promise you still don't know as much as you think you do...but that's a post for a different day).
For those of us who move away from home, there is a since of pride in our independence, but there comes a time of loneliness. A time of homesickness. A time of nostalgia. A time of uncertainty.
And it's amazing the small things that can bring you out of that funk. Tell me if you remember a day like this: you go check your tiny dorm-sized mailbox (it's tiny, like everything else for a dorm) and there is a colored slip of paper in there. It indicates that you've received a package that is too big for that mailbox. Moments like that were cause for excitement.
Twice while in my freshman year I received one of these cards that was unexpected. I had not ordered anything. Both times it was a package from home. Once from my mom and once from an aunt and uncle. Those were the most amazing packages on earth. A slice of home were all I needed in those moments. Frankly I don't even remember what was in them. I just remember how incredibly special they made me feel - that someone was thinking of me and wanted to make me smile.
