Things I found In My Room

Square

I chose to do this project on things I found in my room as I was cleaning it out when I inevitably move out after graduation. I chose things that meant something to me in unique, different, and interesting ways that impact me specifically once given some backstory. My grandfather’s watch, my novelty mug, and a book about wildlife in Montana are things that have an impact on me for specific reasons, and some things that are monetary nuisances for me. I think exploring both sides of things people leave in their room can tell a lot about them in the best and sometimes worst ways, usually pertaining to laziness or ignorance on some things, and forgetting about things right under our noses.

The Tidepods are always on my dressor to remind myself that I need to do laundry, and I often forget.
The watch was a gift my late grandfather gave me before I started school. I always have it on my shelf as a reminder of him and how supportive he was for me going into Communications as a job.
The Conan O’Brien mug was something that was gifted to me for my 21st Birthday. Conan was someone that I watched a lot as a kid and to an extent as an adult, and really helped me with my anxiety and learning about comedy in general from him.
My passport is something I usually keep around as a reminder of my trip to France before Covid came the next year.
The Purell bottle is something that I have kept on my dressor for over a year as a small but not subtle reminder of how last year was and how terrified and somewhat paranoid people were (including myself about the pandemic.)
The Nick Offerman book. “Where the Deer and the Antelope Play” is something that is meaninful to me as he talks about nature and wildlife in Montana, which is where I plan on moving to after I graduate.
The box of band-aids I found was under my bed somehow and I remember opening them the first time I cut myself shaving at the house I currently live in.
The Office frame of Dwight Schrute is something I got as a gag gift but meant a lot to me as it is my favorite comedy show and always on my desk.The Office frame of Dwight Schrute is something I got as a gag gift but meant a lot to me as it is my favorite comedy show and always on my desk.
My Mac laptop is something that I hold dear to me because it was the first computer I’ve ever owned that wasn’t a complete screwup of a machine.
My phone and laptop chargers are always plugged into the wall and I often forget about them. When I was going over stuff in my room, they were always two things that I never adjusted a majority of the time I’ve lived at home.
