You can tell

You can tell a lot about a person by the contents you find in thier locker. Old bananas, homework that "went missing" months ago, pencil sharpenings, and a pile of frequently borrowed, much loved library books? Maybe you have a pile of faultless text books with neatly arranged stationary and a collection of fascinating sea shells and sparkling gemstones?

Before I was homeschooled again, my whole school had not one locker with an actual lock. So we'd all go searching into lockers to see who still had the school camera checked out, to grab some food, or some pencils (and then we'd be like, "Dude, I uhh... ate some of your food xD). 

So upon one of these searches, particularly for finding the camera I needed, I found some interesting things that really reflected the person's personality including:
- One of my friends had a Bible, quill (a pen that looked like one anyways), some notebooks, all his textbooks organized orderly, his military bag, and some pencils and pictures. Personality wise, he is extremely organized and focused.

- My other good friend had a skateboard, his textbooks scattered everywhere, some chips and Gatorade, candy, a hat, basketball shoes, a chicken suit (don't ask xD), and things like that. Personality, well, he loves sports and entertaining people and loves little kids which kind of explains the chicken suit. And he is easy going, somewhat unorganized, yet hardworking.

- Another friend had a sweatshirt stuffed into the top part, a jacket, nice shoes, a pile of novels, notebooks, a pencil case, some photographs, food, semi-organized textbooks, and makeup. She's not preppy, but likes to look nice, and gets cold really easily, explaining the extra coats. She is a huge book nerd, so she ran out of room, leaving her locker kind of unorganized.

- And then this: I opened my other best friend's locker and looked in. Literally all I saw was nothing. He doesn't use his locker xD. He is so organized that he fits every single item in an oversized backpack that he lugs around everywhere.

- My locker, pretty empty. It used to be like my friend's above, always empty with not a single thing, but then my back started really hurting from the weight of like 4 textbooks and 7 large binders, 3 folders, plus books, notebooks, pencils, etc. So then I put all my books in orderly, a coat on top, a photograph of a tree in the dessert from a magazine, and some random papers from ASB meetings that I still had to overlook and file. I am a clean freak, but when it comes to lockers, I'm so-so. I often cleaned out the useless papers, reorganized everything, and called it good. Although I didn't keep pencils or food in my locker because everyone would steal it. xD

So yeah, that's only a few lockers! This was all from them showing me, or the time I went to go search in every single person's locker to find where the school camera went. No worries, I had permission from the teachers!

We have tiny half-sized lockers at my school, but here are few:

Mine: I have a locker shelf and no loose papers. My textbooks are all neat, and it is all very organized. For decoration, I have fun colorful magnets, clips holding up polaroid pctures of my sister and friends, and post-it note doodles. There is also a rosary hanging from a hook on the top.

My friend: A freaking chandelier hanging from the top, a locker carpet, a mirror, and lots of holder stuff. It's all aqua blue and fairly neat. 

Another friend: The sides are completely covered in navy and white striped wallpaper, pictures of her favorite band, R5, and a locker shelf. There is makeup in there, a mirror, art supplies, and her textbooks, obviously. 

Another friend- A whiteboard with terrible jokes on it that she makes herself, loose papers and random junk she throws in all the time. Very messy, and pink themed. On the wall is a picture of the cross country team.

My friend hangs her shoes and socks on the hooks in her locker during PE.
