To send or not to send?

Question

I decided to send a care package full of favorite snacks to a dear male friend of mines in order to give him a boost of happiness before his MCAT exam. I spent over 2 weeks trying to figure out what to put inside/buying items. Three days before I was going to send it, he tells me hes not going to take the exam. He only knows a quarter of the material, he feels crappy about slacking off (i thought he was diligently studying but it turns out he was taking extra long breaks), and hes going to take the exam next year. My question to you all is should i still send the care package? Any idea of what i should write?I would really hate to eat the care package all by myself and then spend the time and effort again to make a brand new one for him when he takes the exam next year. I was thinking about sending it to him but I'm afraid it will rouse up guilt trip feelings/ "I feel like a failure."

Answer 1

send it to him and write him a note saying something like i support your decision to wait till you understand more of the material and just say im sending this to you to help with the stress of learning the material and to give you a friendly boost to get through it
