Lawns by Mona Simpson.

Jenny, a college freshman, begins her narration by bluntly confessing that she steals. Her narrative monologue then moves loosely from present to past as she shares her feelings about several major areas of her life. Jenny works Saturday mornings sorting mail in her dormitory, where she has been stealing letters and packages. She has received a letter from the campus police saying they suspect that some of the mail sorters may be throwing out mail, and there is a meeting about it that she must attend.
