<p>I have a L.L. bean deluxe (lol)</p>
<p>I want to get a northface backpack though… bc my current backpage sticks out too much and I’m constantly hitting ppl with it in the hallways. (The hallways/stairs in my school are INCREDIBLY crowded between classes.)</p>
<p>I have a bright pink, plastic lined rather small Dora the Explorer backpack. And I fully intend to use it in college too. It’s big enough to hold 3 textbooks and a few notebooks. It’s not comfortable at all. People are always complimenting me on it though, because, Dora IS my hero…</p>
<p>I have a Dakine backpack. It has a sunglass holder, laptop holder, and and insulated pocket for lunch. Nobody compliments me because I’m a girl and all the girls carry ugly totes and purses instead. Only a few girls at my school carry backpacks.</p>
<p>Generic black Jansport backpack…it has served me well for the past few years.</p>
<p>Non-Generic Jansport Backpack. Wasabi series. Purple and Light Purple. Will probably stick with it throughout college (maybe) unless I decide to go the girl-typical route of tote bags.</p>
<p>I always need the biggest possible backpack (not including laptop bags), always. it took me 2 and a 1/2 weeks in August to find a new big one, so big that I could fit my big 3" (i think) binder, 4 notebooks, and 4 huge textbooks, random stuff, with extra room to spare. What happened? It ripped open the first day of school lol the load was too much for it to handle! moral of the story: Use a locker</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>LOL at you people with bookbags! Is this serious??</p>
<p>[i guess this is why I didn’t get into Stanford…]</p>
<p>what? you want the teacher to bi** at you and then get your stuff? i dont understand :S</p>
<p>I don’t understand your post konig… rephrase</p>
<p>btw i’m in college now so I can’t relate, i guess</p>
<p>um, you dont have something to carry all of this eventually-going-to-be-useless junk in?</p>
<p>No… I mean I never bothered carrying around books. Sometimes i would stick them in a shoulderbag/purse if I aaaabsolutely needed to… basically I didn’t need the books. And other than that all you need is a pen/pencil/TI-84 duh. lawl.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, but don’t you need, wallet, cell phone, iPod, notepad (for writing non-school stuff), etc? Even if I bring nothing for school, I still have to bring a bag. </p>
<p>I switch bags. In the fall and winter I mostly carry my brown Furla bag. In the spring, I mostly carry my white-base/multi color Furla bag. I sometimes carry a couple of non-designer bags I get at Target or Journey’s, especially if we’re going on a field trip or I’m doing something after school.
I have scoliosis, so my parents want me to carry a backpack but that’s not my style.</p>
<p>I use handbags, like the large types. Haha I guess I seem a bit obnoxious saying that but most people in our school carry handbags of some sort.</p>
<p>do you guys really need to carry your binders? Honestly I find a lot of the notes and activities that go into binders extremely useless. Carry a homework folder or something and if you need to study, just take the little info packets that teachers hand out if that’s coming out ont he test and it’s not in the textbook.</p>
<p>And photocopy your textbooks 
Or at least the math/science ones, they’re usually the thickest and the ones you have to carry around the most. Then you could use the one at home (and you can write on it) and also use the real one in school.</p>
<p>I have a Swiss Army bag. It’s pretty cool - it has many pockets of all sizes and a little net at the side to carry waterbottles in. It’s just like the knife, except in bag form (if anyone gets my drift…).</p>
<p>I have a humungous oversized Betsey Johnson handbag. It fits virtually anything! Except I carry my textbooks in my arms. At the beginning of the year I had a folder and notebook for every subject but somehow I gradually got really fussy about which notebook belonged to which class so now I only have a one subject notebook with every single subject in it lol. I find binders very bulky and hard to handle but now I think about it, I’d be a lot more organized.</p>
<p>I used to have one of those one-shouldered bags, but it became really painful to carry it. Now I’m just using a regular backpack. Currently it’s a swiss army bag.</p>
<p>I have 3 vera bradley backpacks that I switch between…pretty much all the girls at my school use vera bradley =]</p>
<p>I have used an L.L. Bean bag for the last two years, and although I don’t mind keeping by bag for another year, my parents want to get me a new one. Also, talking about binders and stuff, does anyone find it better to take notes with all subjects in chronological order instead of having notebooks for separate subjects?</p>
<p>currently an old Lands’ End backpack in light blue…the calssmate I think?
USED to use this [Sunwashed</a> Canvas Messenger Bag: Shoulder Bags and Packs at L.L.Bean](<a href=“http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=40308&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&from=SR&feat=sr]Sunwashed”>http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?categoryId=40308&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&from=SR&feat=sr) ,
but it won’t fit in my locker and it hurts my shoulder 
I loved it.</p>
<p>thinking i’ll get something like an LL Bean or Jansport backpack for next year.</p>
<p>Jansport, best money I ever spent the thing is built like a tank. I freaking love this thing. A friend of mine even had one that he’s used for all 12 grades, just finished senior year with it.</p>
