Took the wrong backpack
So I finished my accounting exam and in my haste to gtfo the room, I accidentally took the wrong backpack. This is the same blue Swiss gear bag as mine, and I presume the other person has mine. So how can I get my stuff back and return their stuff? If í makes a difference, their MacBook is inside  |

Bring it to Housing services or bring it back to the exam area (IWC has an exam office there). This is why every1 shouldn't buy the same back pack -_-. Mine looks ugly and I've only ever seen 1 other person with it

Or check the contents of what is inside the bag before you leave the exam room, and not put valuables in it.

To distinguish my bag, I put a fairly large (two inches tall by one inch wide) knit rainbow awareness pin that I got at Toronto Pride this past year, right on the front of the bag and place it so that the pin is facing upwards. I know some other people who tie a ribbon or something similar around the handle or strap. It's temporary, you can put it on when you enter the exam room and take it off when you leave, but it does serve to distinguish your bag from everyone else's. I'd highly recommend it if you have a common type of backpack.

I sit in the front row and put my back two feet in front of me.
Not sure what I would do, though, if I saw someone leaving with my bag...
In the middle of an exam...
"HEY! YOU! GET BACK HERE! THAT'S MIIIIINNNNEEE!!!!"
...awkward....

You cannot always sit in the front row though, depending where you have to sit..(talking about IWC at least). |

I'm wondering why someone would even bring a backpack to an exam...

I commute. Why do I need a backpack for a calculator, a pen, a pencil, and an eraser? It's just an exam. |
