Receiving any type of mail is always amazing! I like chocolate and any other goodies like that. Velveta cheese is awesome here or any cheese flavored things. Deodorant is appreciated. Or really anything else you could think of including will be put to good use somehow.
I am also making a special request that on my birthday you send me some sort of e-message (either a comment/message on here or facebook) reminding me of something awesome we did together, you're favorite memory, or something like that. I miss everyone so much and I know those message will make my birthday awesome.
While cleaning my room the other day I found a notebook which was passed around at my going away party. Most of my closest friends were there and wrote something hilarious (mostly because alcohol was involved), but these messages have been an awesome pick me up a few times since I've been here. I'm hoping you guys can replicate that feeling. I'm including some of my favorite parts of messages from my notebook:
