yeah i know im kidding. and yes, i do believe that it is a tangible object, not "ill bring with me an open heart and mind and soul" or some crap like that. talk about something that can help define you as a person, give them a better picture of who you are. like if you like music, say "ill bring my guitar" or if you have a favorite book, say youll bring that, etc. at least thats how i see it.
but me, im gonna talk about my handcuffs or my gravity bong  | |

Last year the question was "what THING will you bring", and I think lots of kids talked about intangible things ... making you select a physical object probably leads to more interesting essays.

would talking about a hat that represents my childhood be acceptable?
this has really nothing to do with something that I'd offer to COlgate if accepted, but rather it is symbolic to me; are symbolic objects completely unrelated to colgate acceptable?

A toothbrush? I don't know, I am having a very difficult time coming up with an answer to this question.

I would say a quilt for a couple of reasons. 1) I am making a portfolio of quilts. <-- I wouldn't say that in my essay 2) It's really cold in Hamilton and 3) It's really symbolic of [Insert clever anecdote here]

| the one object i would bring to colgate
i just got accepted.. and i wrote about this stuffed animal that i've had since I was born.. I think you should choose something different/funny that a lot of people might not write about ( for ex. cell phone )...
good luck!

how about...taking the uber-dork route, and talking abor bringing my copy of lord of the rings?
itd be unique, but extremely dorky
would they reject me on the basis that im a giant tolkien nerd? "we dont want this giant dorkus coming to infect our campus!!!"
i ccould just talk about like my bike or something...i feel like thatd be boring though
