Backstory: There was recently a protest at my school were 16 kids got arrested for throwing snowballs at cops, so I told my mom about how exciting it was to have riots and such on campus.

Your aunt Linda participated in a lot of riots in the ’60’s.  UWM sounds like maybe they’re over-reacting but I wasn’t there.  I think they should call the wambulance.  That Chancellor makes a ton of $$$$$$$.  Just like all teachers he’s whinning about having his salary reduced when he’s making way too much anyway.  I need to come down and riot with them.
Love and kisses, radical MOM

hey i was thinking of sending your brother a care package. Do you think he would like girl scout cookies, teeth whitening trays and condoms or is that too weird?

Backstory: My mom, during my college graduation, regarding the keynote speaker.

Real cute but teeth need whitening.  None the less, id do him if asked nicely.

Backstory: This is one of a handful of times she’s met the long-term boyfriend, on a college visiting weekend, for brunch.

Great to see you this weekend. It’s been bothering me and I did not want to say anything but shouldn’t the Made of Italian Fabric label or what ever it was on D’s great coat sleeve be taken off? Seems someone will make fun of it if you don’t tell him. Maybe I am crazy… Hes a lovely guy. Hugs.

hey,
just some catchin’ up..

Have you eaten any of the soups?
Who are your 3 closest friends at this point in time down there?
What are your thoughts on UM so far?
How do you feel about people using foul language on Facebook?
Do you think you can find a place somewhere down there for your hair…?
Have you looked into any other events or ministries? Non-profits things, volunteer events, etc?
How is the writing center? What can they provide?
What’s the food you most eat on campus?
When do you find out about the international program??
Did you ever get your surfboard over to Tay’s place?
Do you know why your cat meows SO loud???
Which class do you find most interesting?
How is the literature class coming?
Have you figured out your professors yet-what they are looking for in a test or paper?
Have you spoken with all of your teachers personally?
Have you made any friends in your classes?

OK, enough for now. Would love to hear from you.
Have a great day,
Mom

Backstory: This was in response to my telling her that the class sucks but the teacher is cute and young.

Well the cute teacher will make it worth suffering thru the class.  Only 26  ummmmm maybe you can get to know him better.  He will give you a better grade    tee hee.

Backstory: This is the last paragrah in a letter I found that my mom sent me during my first week at college – 13 years ago.

Be careful, lock your car, don’t forget your keys, make your bed, pick up after yourself, hang up those wet towels, watch your money, study hard, and don’t believe a darn thing that some guy tells you!!!

Yay! Congratulations on your first extermination experience. I am so happy to know that your college years will be filled with memorable times like these. Remember these words of wisdom from your mother……A dead roach is a good roach!

Now about that sponge. This is one of those times I like to say, “what the @&*!” Do you really think Matt is going to wake up and say, “Gee wiz, I think I better go buy a new sponge and go clean that sink.” REALLY? You may feel the cold frosty air of hell freezing over before that happens.

So yes, add rubber gloves to the list along with a gas mask and go attack the bathroom. Thanks for sharing!

Love you,
Mom

SUNY in the 70’s ditched their name “Colonials” and the newspaper name, “Colonial”.  the newspaper is the pipe dream (of course).  i think you already know this.  And the reason was just that – imperialism.

SAVE THE HIPPO!

love, mom
