Take a peak inside a random backpack at DIS and you’ll find sentimental items that help people stay focused, feel comfortable or express themselves. These objects may seem simple at first, but the owners find emotional comfort and physical support to help power through the day. Since most of us bring something special to campus, whether stashed deep in our bags or dangling on the outside, this question relates to many students. What is one item you bring to school everyday that you can’t live without?
One small object can affect an entire school day. If you forget it at home, it throws a wrench in your entire routine. Some of the students’ choices seem expected, their personal significance is not. Some items even become part of a student’s identity. Overall, this poll shows how small things help people in big ways.
