I. Pick. Them. Up.

Yes, I do. I pick up usable objects around campus. These are the 'stuff' that we see lying on the grass, waiting to be smashed at the parking lot, pavement, half-buried under the snow. I pick them up. I actually have fun doing it. Pens, pencils, sometimes dime or shiny pennies... finding one every so often brings me to a giggly mood, a smile upon my face, "I got a find!" 

I've been doing this since February, and that's a part of my collection- there in the photo. I forgot to photograph the ones in my drawer and in my pen case. So if I started it last February, I could only imagine how many I could manage to have in a year's time. And the pens are still working! I got blue, black, red, green colors, a Sharpie... pencils are still A+ good. I wash them and disinfect with alcohol, and they're ready for use! I think I don't need to buy these things for an entire year.
