readwithem Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Dd was out when the mail came, and I told her she had some college mail - when she asked which ones, dh replied the University of Everywhere. It certainly seems that way at times. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendall Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I know what you mean! My dh comes home at lunch, "Where's the mail." It's in son#1's room. They make great geography lessons!! My son is tossing anything he isn't interested in(he is not a packrat!). I printed maps of the different regions of the us and he is writing the college name, city on the maps. Then someday when someone says to him, "I graduated from X University", he'll have a good idea of where it is and as a bonus, the younger siblings are looking at the brochures as they come in and the map and adding to their knowledge of the US.

Gwen in VA Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 My son tossed ALL the mailings, saying that he could look up any college he was actually interested in online. He may be right, but I liked looking at the mailings..... My dd1 kept ALL the college mailings. She filed the ones from colleges she liked in a filing box IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. She tossed the others in grocery bags -- she ended up with two grocery bags filled to the brim. We made her throw all of the mailings before she left to start her freshman year. Clearly my two oldest are not identical! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 LOL, my son has a pile under his bed! He tells me that there are about 400 emails in his in-box (even though *I* haven't given that out to anyone - don't know how they got it)....
