There is arguably nothing more exciting than getting a care package in college. Whether it comes from a friend, sibling, grandparent, or parent, getting a care package means getting a box full of good eats. Here are the 9 classic stages of getting a care package in college.
1. Realizing you have a package

2. Opening it up

Why would you leave the room to get a meal, or worse, experiment with dorm room cooking, when you have all of this good food at your fingertips?
7. Trying to make the rest of the food last

You have to ration out the food that’s left because it has to last you until next care package.
