How to Show Your College Student Some Extra Love
Going to college is much more than going to class and getting good grades. It is also about making sure a student has all the college essentials to keep them focused, getting enough sleep, and eating nutritious foods. I know it has been a few minutes since I went to college, but nothing was better than when my parents would come visit to take me shopping or send care packages to make things feel like home.
Whether your college kid is close to home or across the country, WholeLotta Good is the perfect way to send some love whenever you feel they need a pick-me-up or need to replace the essentials. Here are some of my favorite items to send their way. (I highly recommend you explore the entire WholeLotta Good website for different ideas to send monthly to encourage your college student to focus more on studying.)
