Snowbird Rubio ’25:
Computer science major with specialization in digital media
Laptop: Most classes require it. The bonus? “It lets me do homework anywhere.”
Nintendo Switch: When you love video games as much as Rubio, games on the go are a must. “I would say my Nintendo Switch is my favorite backpack item, because it shows my passion for playing video games,” she says. “I have been playing games ever since I was in elementary school.”
Candy: “I love sweet things,” says Rubio, who can be seen snacking between classes.
Student ID: Most students aren’t caught without an ID. It gives them access to buildings on campus and is linked to their meal plan.
Old-School Notebook: In a world of laptops and digital notes, believe it or not, Rubio still uses these relics of the past. “I usually use it for math and Spanish,” says Rubio. “I like to solve problems on my own while the teacher works it out.”
