Students come to school carrying a backpack, but its what they have inside their backpack, that can vary depending on the person. Some students pack notebooks, snacks, or chargers, while others bring items that help them feel more comfortable or confident throughout the day.
What students choose to carry often reflects their individual needs and routines.
Some students value their hygiene and make sure to pack items that keep them feeling clean and fresh throughout the school day.“Deodorant is very important, and I always have my perfume with me because I never want to smell bad. You never know what might happen during the day, I like to be prepared for gym class or just walking around the school,” said Tamea Mack, sophomore.
For student-athletes, staying prepared for practice is just as important as being ready for class.
“I always keep extra clothes and water in my bag. After practice or a long day, it’s good to be able to change and stay hydrated. Sometimes I have track meets right after school, so having everything I need with me helps me stay focused and not worry about forgetting anything,” said Donovan Best, sophomore.
While some students focus on feeling confident and prepared by bringing makeup essentials to school. “I always carry lip gloss, eyelash curler, and mascara. If I don’t have my makeup with me,” said Grace Trabusi, sophomore.
From hygiene items to athletic gear and makeup, students bring a variety of essentials that help them get through the day feeling prepared, confident, and comfortable, with different items serving different purposes for different people depending on their individual needs and routines.
