It’s been a while since I graduated from college, but I can still remember the starving college student mentality. I pretty much ate soup and ramen for a year until I actually learned to cook. My mom would send me boxes of treats fairly often because I couldn’t bring myself to splurge. I anxiously awaited those boxes filled with my favorite foods and snacks!
I don’t have a college student, yet…but my babysitter moved away to college this year. It was really sad because she was the best babysitter EVER! My kids love her and still ask to see her. I’m guessing she has the starving college student mentality, too…so a care package could be something fun for her!
You can create your own care package by going to the store and downloading my cute printables…OR if you want to make things easier on yourself, you can just go to Amazon.com and ship everything straight from there! I’m thinking I’ll add items that would make great snacks and easy to make, like KRAFT Easy Mac Cups and Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. Plus, if you’re a Prime member or you spend more than $25, 2 Day shipping is FREE!
KRAFT Easy Mac Cups are great since you don’t need a stove to cook them. I didn’t have a stove in my dorm room my freshman year, so these would have been awesome! You just add water and microwave…so a meal in 3 1/2 minutes! My college had microwaves throughout campus, so it would have been easy to take these in between classes.
Planters peanuts are a great snack for college students. They’re more nutritious than many snacks and packed with protein and nutrients like niacin, Thiamin, Vitamin E, manganese, magnesium and fiber. They’re naturally trans-fat and cholesterol free…plus, they’re USA grown! My college snacks were not so wholesome!

Very cute Erin! I would’ve loved more stuff like this when I was in college. Also, I have an Amazon wish list that’s like a mile long……. I’m kind of addicted to Amazon, maybe just a little.
