The Things I Carry

Cell Phone-I chose my phone, because my day is centered around it. My phone keeps me connected with others (email, text, calls, social media, etc.) and acts as my clock. My phone tells me when it is time to wake up, go to class, eat lunch and do other activities. Without my phone I would be lost and unprepared.

One or two words- Social Clock

Wristlet-I chose my wristlet because it holds a lot of the smaller items I use throughout the day. It has my keys, money, buckid and other important cards. Without my wristlet everything would be unorganized and I would not be able to buy things or get into my house.

One or two words- Multi-tasker

Umbrella-I chose my umbrella because I never leave my house without it. Living in Columbus you never know what the weather will be like. My umbrella keeps me and my stuff dry.

One or two words- Weather Protector

Lunch-My days consist of classes back to back so I have no time to run and buy a lunch. Lunch is very important because it gives me the energy to get through the day.

One or two words-Energizer

German Dictionary-I am a German major so my dictionary is one of the books I use a lot throughout the day. It helps me translate German words into English and vice versa. Without my dictionary I would be lost in class.

One or two words-Translator

Planner- I use my planner multiple times throughout the day. My planner tells me important meetings I have everyday and what homework I have due. My planner helps me keep things in order.

One or two words-Organizer

My final image does an accurate job of portraying what objects play a major role in my life. I arranged them around the object I use the most (my phone) and then placed the objects around the phone like a clock. I use my keys to lock the door in the morning, use my umbrella on the way to class, eat my lunch, have my german class after lunch and then use my planner to go to meetings and do homework. The dictionary tells the viewer I am a German major, while the phone, wristlet and planner show that I like to be organized. My lunch shows that I like to eat healthy and the umbrella shows that I care about maintaing my appearance and not getting sick from the cold. There are a lot of things this image does not show. It does not show my interests outside of school or what kind of personality I have. I think those qualities are learned by intereacting with a person.
