Are you getting a new backpack this year?

<p>It's in good condition, so no.
The good backpacks are the JanSports.
It has lasted me since 7th grade and I've washed it a couple of times.</p>

<p>I don't bother buying good backpacks because my school doesn't allow students to carry them around during the day. We're allowed to take our books to and from the school with them, but the backpacks have to stay in the lockers the rest of the day. So I usually just buy cheap ones, and I get maybe 2-3 years out of them before I buy another cheap one.</p>

<p>I got a new Swissgear backpack and I like it!</p>

44

<p>I used to get a new backpack every year, but in 8th grade I found this amazing messenger bag that I still use.</p>

<p>I used to use backpacks for school, but I'm switching to a tote this year. It was so adorable that I had to get it (it was only $16.80 anyway). I'll use either this bag or my backpack from last year, depending on my outfit, for a little variety.</p>

<p>Or I'll just get lazy and keep using the tote... Whatever works...</p>

46

<p>I will. My old one is getting boring.</p>

47

<p>I have a Jansport backpack that had a zipper break in the middle of the year, but I sent it out to the Jansport Warranty Department in WA, and they fixed all the problems.</p>

<p>Nope, I've got one of those sturdy LL Bean ones. Unfortunately, no one uses lockers in my school, and we don't have enough class sets of books so I'm always carrying around a few textbooks--no cute little totes for me.</p>

<p>Purchased an LL Bean Turbo Transit Pack in Orange Pekoe a few weeks ago. I love it very much!</p>

<p>Even though I just got a Jansport for Christmas last year, I got a new pink and white one today. I went to our local community college bookstore (to buy my books for my duel classes) and it was on sale for $22.99... couldn't pass it up :)</p>

<p>lol, i dont even carry a backpack or bag...
i just carry my binder in my arms... :D</p>

<p>but i do buy like 4 Case It Binders in a school year. :D

<p>nope. Used the same Jansport backpack all 4 years. Freshmen year I convinced my mom to buy me a good one, a 40 dollar jansport one, instead of the 20 dollar walmart one, which had to be replaced every year (if not more often). Well, go figure, 40 bucks has lasted me 4 years, whereas 80 for cheap ones... plus it's more comfy.</p>

<p>spend some money... don't be too cheap, and just reuse it.</p>
