MIDTERM PACK

I hate to say this, but midterm exams are right around the corner. As much as we hate this time of the semester, we can make it a little better for our Sisters by giving them a Midterm Pack! I always loved giving these to my littles. My big started giving them to me my first semester of college and continued until I graduated. They were wonderful to receive and really helped to lift my spirits! So what should you include in a Midterm Pack??

Obviously, it depends on your little or whoever you would like to send it to. My big always included my favorite candies, post-it notes, highlighters, and a Starbucks gift card.
Candy is always great to have whenever you are studying. It keeps me focused on not falling asleep (because really I just want to take a nap) and gives me a sugar rush that is not induced by energy drinks.

I have long hair so it is usually in a top knot when I am studying so it isn't in my face. Everyone loves these crease-less ponytail holders too!

Lilly Pulitzer highlighters are so colorful and make studying a lot more fun. It is cheesy, but I would much rather highlight with these than some boring plain highlighters.

Starbucks gift cards are a no-brainer. I love studying at Starbucks because 1) They have nice tables and a lot of plug-ins and 2) Because I can get refills on my coffee.

It is always nice to include a simple note of encouragement in the pack. Whenever I would get down about a math problem or lose motivation, I would re-read the note my big gave me and knew I could push through.
