What is the most useful material in the world? There are many answers to that question. Some may say, gold, other may say silcon and so on. The real answer is duct tape As a first year uni student in halls without a job I am extremely poor. So when going off to uni I had to think of things that I needed and would be useful. I got lots of things, but the most useful has turned out to be duct tape. It is amazing the place that this stuff can be used. It seems like I am using it every other day now.

Examples of where I have used it

• To cover the glass window above my door to stop the light keeping me awake.
• To patch up the hole in the material in my chair.
• Patch up the leak in the bottom of my bin.
• Used as a bandage.
• Keeping my tv aerial in the right place.
• Fixing a lamp that broke into two big pieces
• Reinforce the inside of a pair of jeans.
• Applied to face it makes a wonderful joke beard

The last one of the list, really did happen and on the image is somewhere on the internet.

If I were to give anyone a piece of advice when going off to uni, make sure you have duct tape. I would be lost without it.
