Of everything that I brought with me to college, few objects seem to surpass all others.
I'd have to say the following are:
hole punch
Hamilton Beach tea kettle
free O'Henry's Coffee cup
Sustainability, durability, and resourcefulness are the keys here. I did have a nice digital watch for awhile, but it apparently didn't look feminine-like, so I haven't worn it since. It's true though, and even though I bought it because of it's durable appearance, sleekness, and digital aspect, looming judgment of my peers swayed my decision. I secretly still keep it in my backpack. But why wear a watch when I have a cellphone that has the time anyways? That's all I really use my cellphone for anyways because I can't upload pictures anymore; I only call home; and the people that I need to be texting are always right beside me anyways.
Thus begins the quest for a feminine-looking durable and antique/classy watch.
Pinterest has helped me in this search; if anyone has $175 to spare, give me a ring, because you'll be the first outside of my family to call me on my time-keeping cellphone.
I use the hole punch more than I use my Chacos.
I probably boil the water 9 times a day so that the 5 times that I actually have tea, the water takes less time to boil because the water is already warm from the last time I boiled it. Semi-hot water always has to be on standby in our joint.
At the beginning of my freshman year in college, I was given a coffee cup, and it has lasted me since. It is quite nice, and I'd love to be a freshman again just for the free stuff everybody hands out.
Take it or leave it, but at least know, that if anything, there is nothing like a college student strung out on coffee-to-go with all of his papers hole-punched.
