That would be one of the many reasons I could never be a teacher. I like to talk to people one on one but I get so nervous speaking in front of even a small group.

The scrapbook is a good idea. But I gave her one of those the day she moved into her dorm freshman year. We weren't roommates then. I went to school about two and a half hours away but I transferred after a year. The picture frame might be a good idea. I'm not really sure what she'd need for grad school that she doesn't already have. Except for food and that should probably wait until just before she leaves. (Yes, I intend to give her a graduation present AND a present when she leaves.) I'm thinking the picture frame would be a good idea. She doesn't have a framed picture of us. And then I could give her a basket of food when she leaves. (Maybe a box of food.)

There's a company that engraves frames and lots of different things, and their prices are very reasonable. There's even a verse in the Bible about friends picking each other up--if you need the name of the company or the Bible verse let me know and I'll find them . . . the shop is in lots of malls around here but I don't know if it's nationwide.

And I LOVE the food idea, too! You can get her all her favorites.
