Unboxing
Unlike my desk, my bag is (mostly) free of clutter. Despite my hardest efforts, I always find myself living in a messy environment: a quick comparison between my roommates side of the room and mine will undoubtedly prove this. However, the one thing I try to always keep organized is my bag. I try to bring as little as possible wherever I go outside, not only because it causes substantially less strain carrying it around campus, but also because it makes me feel more organized than I really am.
As a member of the Barkley Forum debate team, I got a tote bag that has quickly become my go-to everyday carry bag. Inside my bag on any given day, you’re likely to find my laptop and/or iPad (depending on whether I remembered to charge them), my microfiber cloth (I bought it from this hole-in-the-wall stationary store in Taipei, but I swear it does wonders whenever I need to clean my glasses or phone screen), water bottle (probably empty), headphones (it’s either on full charge or out of battery), and other miscellaneous goods such as a tub of chewing gum, 27¢ in coins, my Korean quiz (which I accidentally scrunched up), and an empty Oscillo tube.
I found it quite interesting to see what was in my bag, despite carrying it around campus almost every day. It was interesting seeing all the items laid out, and I was somewhat surprised by how little I take with me.
