Larissa Marcatto is a Business Student, Student Life Hub assistant and Event Planner at Capilano University. With her busy schedule, she carries a simple, yet highly functional black backpack which she said is “worn out from carrying heavy books.”

The first thing Larissa reached for was her Canadian advertising book from her favourite class this semester. Her pink planner with rose designs is protected by a plastic layer to keep the notebook from folding. “I have a terrible memory, without my planner I wouldn’t know where to go. I am nothing without it.”

Larissa also always carries her business cards inside her wallet “just in case.”

Inside her rose gold pencil case, there’s pictures of some of her favorite memories at CapU, including last year’s Halloween party, her volunteer job at the international leadership and mentorship program (ILMP) where she made a lot of new friends, and from the Climate Strike. “My friends and I made our own posters at university but we got lost and could not find the strike. At one point we heard a trombone and my friend was so excited to join the protest that she started running and yelling towards the crowd. It was really funny!”
