A few questions about mail?

Hello! I'm the nervous girlfriend of a class of 2023 member and I have a few questions.

I know that getting mail is important, and I've already started writing letters and collecting cards to send. Can he get too much mail? I've read on here that you don't really want to 'stand out' for things, but I'm not sure if that includes mail? Also, beside avoiding anything that would make him worry about anything, are there any subjects that I should avoid? What kind of things would be good to send if I sent a little care package? Will he actually have time to write back, or is that a big no? Just trying to manage my own expectations.

I wasn't able to come with him and his family today, because I had orientation at my own school this week in California. I talked to him early this morning though, and his parents invited me to come to Parents Weekend with them, so I'm looking forward to seeing him then. I know he will rarely get time to call, and I told him to use the time he gets to call his mom, but I know I'll hear from him at some point. Is there anything else I should do or not do to make this easier for him?

Thank you for any suggestions or advice.
