regentrude Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 We had collected all the college advertisement mail DD received in a box and finally got around to weighing the box. the total weight of unsolicited mail, not including any mail from schools she actually applied to, is... drumroll...38.4 lbs. We threw out some before we started the collection, so it's safe to say that she received at least 40 pounds of college mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Love it! We had started doing this, but when we moved, I didn't want to move what we had already collected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I just recycle everything immediately. I guess I'm no fun. Dd doesn't want look at it anyway. She's focused on a small group of schools and has been from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamato4 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 We just started with receiving college mailings. My artsy daughter who is into graphic design has started a "Which college has the best-designed mailing" contest amongst the ones we've received. So far, Dartmouth is at the number one slot, according to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Y'all are such geeks. :thumbup: We kept stuff with our first two, but not to weigh, we wanted to see how high it would go (about 18 inches). The third child always gets left out... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 What a great idea! I wish we had thought of it. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningGlory Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 So funny! You know, I'd really like to lose about 40 pounds. So I should save all ds's college mail, and once I lose the weight (which I will! YES, I will!), then I can feel how much I actually lost! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
