girls: which bag do you use to carry your books/notebooks/laptops around

<p>I was wondering what you guys used. I wanted to get something different this year but don't have any ideas.</p>

<p>It feels like almost every girl at my school has a longchamp bag...which are the perfect size and easy to carry around. Vineyard Vine bags are pretty popular too</p>

<p>All I carry is a five subject notebook, a calculator and a handful of pens – because of that, I can get away with using just an oversized purse. If you’re carrying heavier things or a bunch of books, you might want to opt for a heavy duty bookbag.</p>

<p>I have a pink and black swiss gear laptop backpack which I carry around my notebooks, graphing calculator, and pencil case. I tried carrying some of the large purse type bags, but those wore out really fast and the straps weren’t the sturdiest.</p>

<p>I never thought PlattsburghLoser was a girl. Hmmm.</p>

5

<p>^ Neither did I…</p>

6

<p>I just use a dickies messenger bag. Perfect size and cool design.</p>

<p>I bought a North Face backpack. Really sturdy, but not too huge or masculine. On MWF, I have 3 classes that are ten minutes apart so carrying my things isn’t an option. I’m more for practicality so I would personally never carry my school things in a purse or bag. Buying a backpack is worth it for the support.</p>

<p>Urban outfitters has some great large purses. My D has been using them for a couple of years for her highschool “backpack”- they hold alot and are really strong. Look for something with pockets, if outside, that they zip- inside for cell phone, etc. My other D uses a leather messenger bag.</p>

<p>I’m a “bring everything except the kitchen sink…oh, hell, bring the kitchen sink too” type of girl, so I rely on a North Face backpack. I’m more for function than form, but I don’t think it looks too, too bad.</p>

<p>I carried my mom’s old LV tote around for my classes. During the day, I just carried around some looseleaf, a moleskin notepad as a planner, pens, and some incidentals. For when I actually needed to study, I would lug my textbooks and laptop to the library in a cheap canvas tote.</p>

<p>I’ve got a rolling laptop backpack (I have knee and back problems) and it looks like it could fit everything i need in it. :D</p>

<p>fits everything nicely - macbook, textbooks, etc.</p>

</p>

<p>You are. </p>

<p>Anyway, totes, large purses and shoulder bags make me feel awkward, so I’m just going to use a backpack. I like the feel better.</p>

15

<p>i just use a slightly oversized tote bag, or this 10 year old Old Navy men’s messenger bag that holds everythinggggg I will ever need ever. But I don’t carry that much.</p>

<p>Jansport merit bags - hold 17 inch laptops!</p>

<p>I use the Timberland backpack my cousin gave me last year.</p>

18

<p>a backpack…</p>

<p>I have three bags which fit my computer and books - one special MacCase which goes around one shoulder, one messenger bag from Jansport, and one shoulder bag which I believe to be the portal to another dimension because I can put anything in there but I can never find it again. </p>

<p>I put my computer in a bag since I worry about it being stolen but I just carry my books and notebooks.</p>

<p>The do uche bag is great for this kind of work.</p>
