This exhibit shows the creative methods of everyday writing that out-of-state students and their families use to communicate while away at Florida State University.
These various images of creative chalkboard messages were sent via a text message group chat between all direct family members. It details the range of emotions felt by the artifact creator, Laura Frank, and her daughter, Rachel, while she attends Florida State. Given that Florida State is 1,174 miles away from home, Laura texts her daughter each morning in the family group chat to make sure she's okay, whatever her response is. The following images of the daily chalkboard message are what she uses to send "Good Morning" texts.
