Hatzel Escorcia Arciniega — environmental engineering sophomore
Bag — “I got [my bag] at a Dia de los Muertos festival in Downtown Mesa over the weekend.”
Geneva Feng — mechanical engineering sophomore
Bag — “This backpack is actually my mom’s. It’s really old. It was my mom’s, then my sister’s, and now it’s mine.”
Keychain — “I have these cute charms that my friend gave me. I also have a matching keychain with them, but she lost hers, so now it’s just me.”
Mason Manetta — electrical engineering graduate student
GPS rescue beacon — “In case I ever get stranded somewhere and don’t have cellphone service, this is what I’d use. ... I do canyoneering sometimes, and when you go into the canyon, you lose almost all cellphone coverage. But this has a direct line of sight to the sky.”
Birth certificate — “I just did my HR verification.”
Engineering calculator circa 1991 — “I think I should only use calculators that are older than myself. … This was actually my father’s when he went to ASU, so I guess I’m continuing the calculator lineage.”
Mya Parrott — family and human development junior
House keys — “I have three house keys. One is for my house, my friend’s old apartment and my friend’s new apartment.”
Keychain — “My favorite part is my MayMay’s handwriting. She passed away back in 2018, so I like to carry a little piece of her around.”
Sophie Warnock — fashion sophomore
Flyer — “I have this flyer for what I think is a pyramid scheme. This guy on the light rail gave it to me.”
