<\/p>\nFor class we were told to find five artifacts that best represented ourselves. The following is written about the items I have chosen and why they are important to me now or in the past and how I believe they will be useful for me in the future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My laptop has been the most important artifact for me because all of my past projects have been stored on this device. I’ve used this laptop since high school and it’s had most of my important graphic design projects as well as Computer Science coding projects. I like being able to collect stickers from places I previously traveled to and represent it on the back of my laptop case. My laptop used to be where I would watch videos but now it holds a higher importance because it’s how I attend classes. In the future I think it probably won’t hold as much importance as it does now. It’s an old laptop and has been through plenty of sleepless nights. I might think of upgrading it to a lighter laptop but it’s helped me every step of my college career to shape who I am today.<\/p>\n

This puzzle was gifted to me from my mother as a going away gift before I left for college. This item holds more of a sentimental value to it because I used to build puzzles with her when I was little. I enjoy the idea of traveling and exploring new places so I felt like this best represented my love for adventure. I want to be able to eventually travel and visit new countries and experience different cultures and I think this puzzle does a great job of reminding me to explore the area more. Hopefully I can plan out a trip after graduation.<\/p>\n

The third item I chose was my calculator. I think it best represents my creativity. I like being able to paint as a way to relieve myself from stress. The painting was inspired by a watercolor print I had came across on Pinterest. My calculator is just as important for school math classes now, however, I don’t know what use I will have for it in the future. I enjoy being able to feel like math is less intimidating with the calmness of the painting I created on the cover of the calculator.<\/p>\n

The fourth item I chose was my dad’s old Nikon film camera. I always thought it was cool that we still had it around and it had inspired me to get more into photography. My parents eventually gifted me a digital camera and I a took photography class. Having a camera has let me explore being able to take a photo and creatively manipulate it for different projects. I think photography will stay with me because I love using photography to document trips and create new projects.<\/p>\n

The last item I chose was my water bottle. I never leave the house without it. I used to carry around it with me everywhere on campus when walking from class to class. Health is important to me and having a water bottle with me reminds me that I need to drink water throughout the day. I’ll continue to use this water bottle probably even after college, since it also represents the college that I’m from.<\/p>\n
