"Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad I'm not a fool." - Billy Madison

It's that time of year again! The buses now stop at every street corner, kids no longer get up at noon but instead rise and shine at the wee hours of the morning, and college kids are back in their small dorm rooms enjoying life away from home.

It's not easy being a college kid these days! But it's always fun to receive care packages during the first few months of school while we settle in, figure out our schedules, find our way to our classes, meet our professors, and become acquainted (or re-acquainted) with a campus we will eventually consider a second home.

We decided that this week we'd post a couple of care-package gift ideas. Check back with us each day for a new idea of something to send to your college kid.
