How I did it: My friends and I had the bizarre notion to revive the art of letter writing, since everyone focuses on keeping in touch through the internet. To make it interesting, we all put our names in a hat, shook it up, and each person took a name out. Don't show anyone who you got! If you get your own name, obviously put it back in.

The fantastic thing about this is that it's surprsingly rewarding. Your letters don't need to be about anything specific, even just the ramblings of your mind will suffice, but it's a great feeling to get a letter through the door that isn't a bill or something official! And trust me, you will love writing them as well as reading them :D

Lessons & tips: Just get a group of friends together who would be willing to do it, make sure everyone has a sheet of paper with everyone elses address written down and get writing!
