red bull...otherwise they will use adderol!

Ohhh some nice coffee and tea, some baked goods or chocolate, and since this is an imaginary package to 18 year old me, I would also put in a couple of those vegetarian instant "Big Cup" noodle soups
-
condoms
-
Oops, I meant mostly food items.
-
Chocolate and Tactical Bacon http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/wacky-candy/c399/

in addition to the baked goods, instant noodles, tea, condoms and red bull (find out if they prefer regular or sugar free) , condoms I'd add the following
20 dollar starbucks card or if they have a coffee maker some good ground coffee or a visa gift card they can use to spend on pizza or take-out food
five pound of gummy bears/sour patch kids/M & Ms/ etc.
a bunch of healthy junk like dried apples/apricots/raisins/cran-raisins/trail mix/wasabe peas/sesame mix/almonds/cashews/etc.
a few bags of beef jerky or dried salami
microwave popcorn
those microwavable chef boyardee pasta things or mac n cheese
a pack of clean socks/t-shirts/boxers (if they're a dude, probably too lazy to want to do laundry during finals)
big bag of nachos and can/jar of salsa, cheese or bean dip
cigarettes if they smoke or if they were like me, started to smoke during finals to take the edge off
-
cant for get the medicine. (advil, tylenol, allergy meds)
-
Maybe because i am asian, i'd put boxes and boxes of spicy hot instant ramen soup with a small pot...and one of those electric hot stove top.
-
Mountain Dew and Cup O' Noodles...or Fruit/Juice and Lean Cuisines for those health-nuts.
A Subway's gift card doesn't hurt if you want them to eat healthier outside of campus. Maybe a Taco Bell gift card or a pack of laxatives - either is effective. -
If they don't have a hot pot, definitely send one. There's nothing like having hot tea or ramen in your room at 2am. Ditto the beef jerky. M&Ms are nice cuz it's just a little bit of chocolate. Almonds & peanuts.
The Starbucks gift card is a GREAT idea. I would've loved that.

@ Samwich - They're still going to use Adderall.
-
A case of Starbuck's frappucinos, for those late nights. A half oz, so that studying self could fall asleep quickly, and a batch of weed cookies, for late night snacking (also to help studying self fall asleep quickly)...
-
and i forgot, I'd also put tons of chop sticks.
i am not a fan of starbucks so i usually give my gift certificates away.

If you were going to send 18 year old you a care package for studying for all those exams, what would you put in it?
***Let's just pretend you actually studied in college. So none of that '6 packs of beer' and '20bags' etc.
Thanks!
