What junk is in your trunk?

By Jojo Goldman

While a car may seem like a simple mode of transportation, CHS seniors have transformed their cars into all types of closets and storage compartments. A trunk may look average from the outside, but a look inside can reveal more about the student behind the wheel. The Observer asks, what junk is in your trunk?

Senior Josh Bui
Junk in trunk: Make-up, slippers, sweaters, a blanket, a hat, cleats, lacrosse sticks and golf balls.
Explanation: “I drive my girlfriend around so that’s why the make-up is there, and everything else is because it just never gets cleaned up.”
Favorite item in trunk: Lacrosse sticks for whenever he is somewhere where he can play or just throw around the ball.

Senior Jen Stein
Junk in trunk: Goggles, giant legos, bandanas, whistles, clothes and costumes.
Explanation: “These things come in handy, so I tend to keep them there. You never know when you are going to need something random. But I do clean my car when it gets messy.”
Favorite item in trunk: Giant legos because no one knows where they came from.

Senior Patrick Tamm
Junk in trunk: Two chairs and his dad’s CDs.
Explanation: “[The chairs and CDs have] been in the trunk since my parents drove the car before me and I’ve just never bothered to take them out because there is still space in the trunk if I need to put something in there like my lacrosse gear.”
Favorite item in trunk: Does not have one.

Senior Becca Murphy
Junk in trunk: Superhero cape, a blanket and a gavel for BBG meetings.
Explanation: “There is no need for me to take it out of my trunk.”
Favorite item in trunk: The superhero cape even though it has no purpose.

Senior Alex Leventer
Junk in trunk: Guitar, a cloth and a cooler.
Explanation: “Even though it’s bad for the guitar, it’s convenient when I go to guitar lessons or band practices or just play with friends. [I have] a cooler because my mom still thinks I’m three years old and insists that she pack me a lunch every day.”
Favorite item in trunk: Guitar, because it always comes in handy and the cooler because it saves money instead of buying lunch out.
