What’s In Your Bag?
items in my bag:
- Laptop: I used my mac all the time to do homework and editing for different documents and excels. It is also used frequently for me to send emails. As a college student studying online, laptop is indispensable for me especially in terms of academics.
- Phone: a device that is with me all the time no matter what size of my bag is. I not only use it for some basic applications like camera, phone call, but also use it as my social tool to pay by apps, listen to music, and text friends.
- Mask: obviously need it at this time since covid is still here. Many public places in China require people to wear masks to get the permission to get in.
- iPad: I used my iPad with apple pencil in college every day. I used to be a person stick with hardcopy. However, after college started, I noticed that it is hard to keep notes on separate notebooks for all the subjects I learn. It is much more convenient for me to record down in a single tablet and review whenever I need. The iPad is also used for me watch videos and dramas for entertainment.
- AirPods: I used it to listen to audio, music in the public space. The design of AirPods really makes my life simple and convenient.
- Calculator: some of my courses, such as chemistry, require complex calculations and Ti 84 really becomes my tool when calculating. Laptop, iPad, calculator, and sometimes AirPods have become the only things I need for study.
- ID card: I keep my ID card all the time with me so that I would be sure it is placed safely and I can take it out whenever I need it in the society.
- Key: having my key with me makes me easy to enter my house even sometimes my parents are not at home.
- Umbrella: it is with me all the time through summer to protect me from sunburn. Self care is another topic of my life that I pay attention on.
I like this interesting side quest since it made me start to look at myself from an angle that I have not paid attention on before. Though many people may say this small part of life cannot represent one’s life entirely, it gives people a different perspective to reflect on which type of people they are; some details usually can tell something objective about an individual surprisingly. This image is actually easy to make since I basically only grab these stuff when going out. My life is regular like many other peers; I am into technology and also keep organized and relatively simple . Writing in catalog is a special type of writing, because we are complex enough that cannot only be represented by certain items, but through an objective view, we are actually describing ourselves to readers; this exploration makes writing not limited and boring but more interesting.
