First of all, this isn't high school where kids will judge you by your backpack (lol).

<p>I judge people by their backpacks...really just if they have the rolly kind. I loathe those damn things (especially when they're used by a slow-walker).</p>
<p>I second the idea of getting a tote or messenger bag for the notebooks and using a regular backpack for the heavy books. It wasn't too bad carrying both my computer bag and backpack around campus last quarter when I knew I wouldn't have time to go back to the dorm between Math and Engineering to switch out stuff.</p>
