One solid artifact would be my headphones/earbuds. I take these everywhere with me. From the gym, to relaxing in my dorm, these are an essential part of my being. I believe my headphones are significant in many ways, aside from just transferring sound. These can be a escape from a awkward social situation, make the walk to class feel shorter, and even intensify my workout or study session. I use them for answering calls from family and friends back home, even when the conversation may be exclusive or private. I invest a good bit of money when choosing my headphones, but this only justifies just how import this instrument is in my life here on campus and off.
