Q: Your child will appreciate it if you put time and effort into your care package. Try to dress up the package with a theme. If it's a cold-care kit, include some Red Cross symbols and a few band aids; if it's a movie night care package, draw movie reels on the box or include some old theater tickets in the package. You can also include sticky notes on the items explaining why you included them. For example, you might write, "chicken soup for your cold," or "thought you could use a movie night after your big exam." If you're sending food or liquids it's especially important to make sure you seal them up in their own containers inside the larger care package. If you're sending cough medicine or other liquids, place the bottle in a ziplock bag. If you're sending baked goods, wrap them in several layers of tinfoil and place them in a Tupperware for even more protection. Dorm addresses can be confusing. Make sure you have your child's building and room number right before you mail the package. Let your child know a package is coming. That way, they can be on the lookout for it in case the post office doesn't notify them. If you want the package to be a surprise, call your child's dorm and ask if they can give provide you with the room number.
A: Get creative. Seal it up. Double-check the address.

Q: To quote a song worth kissing to, "If you think that is a kiss is all in the lips, come on, you've got it all wrong." The intensity of a kiss is determined by so much more than the kiss itself, and eye contact is where many kisses begin. Intentionally pause right before impact for a moment of pure and unadulterated eye contact. A powerful moment of eye contact can actually be the breaking point of passion, pulling you in to one another for a kiss that is already unforgettable. Break eye contact by looking at their lips. Let them know what you're thinking about with your eyes. This is harder than you think. The better the kiss, the worse your memory. That said, oxygen-deprivation is a far-too-common reason that kisses do not achieve their full potential. Make breathing breaks sexy by allowing your partner to feel your breath, though only barely. Evince your nervous energy and excitement with flattering exhalations. It's a deeply gratifying feeling to literally take someone's breath away. If someone takes yours, make sure they know it. The impact made the first time your lips meet someone else's can be completely and incredibly disorienting. Allow gravity to fall away by letting your lips linger on your partner's skin. Time and space will distort accordingly. That said, don't hold back. Don't feel as though you should hesitate and let your partner lead, unless this is what you want and have been clear about your desires. If you're interested, act like it and initiate! Immerse yourself fully in every kiss, but especially the first few times your lips touch one another's. Allow yourself the freedom and enjoyment of fully enjoy another person's affection. When you pull away, your eyes will already be sharing exactly how you felt about the endeavor, and you'll already have forgotten everything else about your day.
A: Make eye contact. Remember to breathe. Take your time.

Q: Your brain needs exercise just like your body. To keep it in good shape, and to keep that memory sharp, you should regularly engage in challenging mental activities. You can learn something new or sharpen an existing skill. If you play music, try tackling a difficult new piece. Or, you could try doing a tricky crossword puzzle. Exercise that involves cardio activity is especially good for strengthening your memory. Incorporate aerobic exercise into your daily routine. Try taking a break during lunch or between classes to take a brisk walk. Activities that require hand eye coordination are also effective. Try taking a tennis lesson to build this skill. If you miss out on sleep, your memory and critical thinking skills can suffer. Aim to get 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Try to get into a routine of going to be and getting up at the same time each day. Turn off the TV and electronic devices 1 hour before bedtime. Unwind with a book or a cup of tea. Good news! You can actually keep your brain healthy by hanging out with your friends. It will keep you from being stressed, which can hamper your concentration. Make time to hang out with your friends regularly. Try going to a funny movie or checking out a concert together. Try to get your other senses involved in learning. For example, you can try reading notes or your book out loud to help retain information. If you're more visual, draw an image or chart that will help you visualize what you're studying. You can also practice explaining your information. Imagine that you have to teach someone else the material that you are studying. Figuring out how to do this can help you more quickly absorb information.
A: Exercise your brain with new or challenging activities. Get physical exercise each day. Create a good sleep routine. Manage stress with friends and laughter. Use tricks for memorization.

Q: Writing not only increases your imagination, but also keeps you happy, which increases your optimism. You can also write some poetry or conduct research. You can read classic novels, genre fiction, poetry, or nonfiction. Time spent alone is good time to catch up on some of your reading. Not only is it fun and enjoyable, but it's also self-education and a way to round yourself as a person. You can also listen to audiobooks. Consider spending some time with classics such as Moby Dick, Romeo and Juliet, The Martian Chronicles, or Great Expectations. Read a genre novel. For sci-fi, try Fahrenheit 451, and for horror, check out Salem's Lot. If you want a fantasy novel, read Harry Potter. Check out some poetry, such as "Charge of the Light Brigade," "Ulysses," "She Walks In Beauty," or "How Do I Love Thee." If you're interested in philosophy, you may want to read works by Socrates, Plato, Nietzsche, Descartes, Aristotle, Kant, Rand, and Marx. No matter what kind of music you like, you can enjoy being alone when you're listening to a great song. Choose music you enjoy or music that brings back memories of certain events. Listening to natural sounds like the sound of the thunder and rain, chirping birds, flowing rivers and such more sounds helps you clear your mind. It helps in relaxing and de-stressing, thus, leaves you happier and more calm when you are alone. If you don't like singing, try dance. It really helps as you get engaged in something and research shows that exercising or dancing releases the bad emotions in person. You could also try out a new instrument, or hone your skills on one you already play. Remember that you aren't doing this for anyone else, it's for yourself, so just let go! Playing computer and video games can actually have positive results! Gaming develops your critical thinking and problem-solving skills and improves your hand-eye coordination. Fitness games can even help you get exercise.Alternatively, you could play tabletop games like Dixit or King of Tokyo. There are games for every interest and skill level!

Write a story, journal, or blog to express your feelings. Read books to keep you entertained. Listen to music that makes you feel good. Sing, dance, or play an instrument to express yourself. Play games to improve your critical thinking skills.
