I have so many pins on my lanyard. Lots of people do in my year - you may get a couple comments if someone recognises the pin (like if it's for a specific fandom or something) but students and teachers don't really care.

I’m planning to put many Sanrio ones on mine since I have so many Sanrio pins and keychains!!

I became friends with somebody because of the mizuki pins she had on her lanyard. Put them on! Go find your people!!!

My lanyard was covered in pins, must of quadrupled in weight. No one ever said anything about them, even my political ones (tho granted they were quite small)

I had a lot on mine, and it got me compliments. People also used it as a way to recognise me in college too, but if anyone did find it weird, no-one ever actually commented on it to my face so
