What’s in my Bag

Interestingly, I am literally sticking with every episode of the “In the Bag” from the British Vogue, and I am now going to do one episode for myself. Therefore, I would like to go along with the Vogue routine to introduce the things in my bag.

First of all, my name is Cherie Lou, and this is my bag.

My backpack is transparent with plastic texture, which makes everything inside transparent as well.

From top to bottom and from left to right, there is a list for all the stuff in my bag (and the applications in the parentheses) :

1. A mask (I bring it because of the recent flu, although I barely use it)
2. The key to my dorm (I always bring it, because my roommate and I are used to locking the door after we leave the dorm)
3. Feminine hygiene products
4. Laptop & iPad (I usually take one of them with me to class, rarely both, because they are so heavy)
5. The pillbox (I always bring it which contains my allergy medicine and pain killer)
6. A small notebook (I always take it to record some reminders)
7. AirPods (I always bring it to listen to music during the commute or to call friends at leisure)
8. My phone (I always have my phone everywhere I go because it makes me feel safe)
9. Tissue (I always keep it in my bag, but I could never find it when I need one)
10. The Japanese textbook (I always take it, since there is a Japanese class almost every day…)
11. A pencil case (I always take it, although the product I use most in it is the lip balm)
12. Flyers (I didn’t get a chance to take it out)

I actually made some subjective choices when choosing which bag to show, because I have two bags in the shift. The bigger one is for carrying the laptop and the iPad at the same time. I chose the plastic bag over the regular one because it is more stylistic, which is a characteristic that I appreciate and pursue. The content that my bag says about me is that I am a well-prepared but slightly disorganized. That is to say, I prepare things like tissue for incidents, but I couldn’t always find them when I need them. Also, I am such a typical and practical student that almost everything in my bag is the necessity for me to take classes and to study.
