Water bottle: An essential item carried by all the delegates, needed after one’s throat is parched and cracked after a long speech (delegate, make your concluding remarks!), lulling the committee to eternal sleep.
Thermometer: A handy tool for when things take a heated turn—when the temperature rises in committee.
Earplugs: For when one wants to zone out on a delegate’s monologue or pretend not to hear the Chair scream out “Delegates maintain decorum!”
Band-aid: To be used when another delegate shreds your resolution.
(“Vague…completely useless…this resolution is like Swiss cheese, too many holes!”)
Painkillers: A headache is inevitable after listening to unusually loud delegates. (You know who you are!) However, one can pop in a painkiller while pretending to comprehend what the delegate is saying.
Compass: A useful tool for enthusiastic first-time MUNers who forget procedures in the electric atmosphere of THIMUN.
Sticky Tape: An integral part of the kit. It keeps the mouth of the bothersome, repetitive delegate clamped firmly shut.
