As a college student, you have a lot of files stored on your laptop: essays and assignments from classes, pictures from spring break trips, tax returns, and more. You have decided to clear some storage space on your computer, but you dont want to delete any of your files. Instead, you decide to use three storage options for your personal data, as described in the table below. Assign one of these three storage options to the files you have, based on the priority of each file type:

Personal pictures and videos: __________________________ Annual tax documents: __________________________ Current class assignments: __________________________ Last semesters research project, which you plan to submit with graduate school application: __________________________ Meeting minutes, which you take for an honors society where you are an officer: __________________________ Personal finance documents, which include your student loan and FAFSA information: __________________________

Provide a written explanation of how you have prioritized the files.
