A large part of progress on Planet College consists of communication. Most but not all of this communication is accomplished by what are now traditional electronic means, e-mail, cell phone and the rest. However the US Postal Service is still in operation and some communication is still accomplished by mail.
The Planet College topic of the day is Where do you get your mail?
Most student's are so mobile that for a time at least after leaving for Planet College they leave it to mom. This is a semi-effective strategy. This means when you finally get back home there is some mail for you on your bed or dresser or on the table in the hallway. You sift through the pile swiftly mainly looking for letters from relatives who still send you money for your birthday. Finding none you toss the rest. This has been the procedure so far but if your old enough to buy alcohol at the campus keg with your real id then it might be time to start getting your own mail.
The question is where?
The mom filing system has worked ok so far so why change? (If mom is not only filing but also opening your mail then you or she or both of you have issues that we won't deal with here.) Unless you are moving off campus to a place which will be your residence your choice is to get a mail box at one of those mailbox places. It is an additional expense which is something to consider. However, it is your life and part of the progress of, as by now you have heard so often, taking responsibility for your life is getting your own mail.
One more thing to consider on Planet College.
