Two years before my father
died of an aneurysm, he
gave me a Zippy monkey
holding a bottle of perfume
for Christmas. He said even
though I was growing up
I would always be his little
girl. Zippy was riding on my
shoulder when I walked into
my freshman residence hall.

My grandmother quilted me
a comforter after high school
graduation. It’s a tradition
she has upheld for all 22 of
her grandchildren. She picks
the color and design uniquely
based on each grandchild’s
preference and personality.
Ellie Evans,
enrollment counselor
My camera. I’m a digital film
and production major, so I’m
going to need it for school
and it’s my hobby, too.

pillow case.
