there's this penguin keychain that i have on my daily bag (aka my backpack that i carry with me to my classes, the airport, etc, etc) and it was gifted to me by my aunt way back when i was in the 2nd grade and the really funny (funny in hindsight) is that i LOST it today on my way to class. like it was insane, i had 2 classes today (a lecture and a lab) and i know i had it when i came back from my lecture (because it also functions as a pouch and i put something in it) and then when i sat down at my lab desk and looked at my backpack i was like huh something's missing and then it clicked that my GIANT PENGUIN KEYCHAIN WAS GONE i was like ohhhhh my god......... there's no way (i literally could not do the lab properly like i kept messing up things and had to restart lakdsfjasdlfkjsf—thank god it was just pipetting today like omg) and when i left lab i was like retracing my steps and trying to see if i could find it and i probably looked like a madwoman looking around on the ground and everything but I COULDN'T FIND IT!!! so i got home and my mom wanted me to call her about something so i called her and blah blah blah and then i told her how i lost the keychain and she was like you can get a new one (because... the keychain IS like 15 years old...) and i was like i know but still T-T (i was actually crying alskfjasdlkfajsfd like i was so sad) and then she was like why don't you go down by the office (of my apt) and see if anyone put it anywhere and i was like okay so i went down and she was like okay since you're out of your room now why don't you retrace your steps again and so i did and i was really looking this time and i was full on about to see if i could get back inside the lab room lol just to double check..... BUT I FOUND IT OUTSIDE ON LIKE ONE OF THOSE STONE BENCH THINGIES THAT MY UNI HAS I WAS LIKE I SWEAR THIS WAS NOT HERE WHEN I WAS COMING BACK FROM CLASS (it was also slightly open too so i was like lmao) and the way i was instantly smiles and laughs again it was CRAZY

and like all throughout that i was so confused as to how it fell off... it quite literally just FELL like the part that fell completely broke off from the ring and i was like well... that'll do it... SLDKFJWOEIRJWERLKJSDF
