Suggestions for Bookbag For High School (junior year)?

Question

I am a female who is going on junior year. I am getting tired of getting bookbags that break/rip/etc. However, I admit I did not made good choices. I am looking for an ordinary durable backpack that is cute (not simple) and medium (not too big nor small). Also, I am looking for a cute tote. So any suggestions? Either in stores or online. Hopefully it worth paying every cent for it.

Space: Binders (at most 4 a day) and Heavy Textbooks

Answer 1

I've had good experiences with the North Face backpacks ( http://www.thenorthface.com/ ). They make camping gear and school backpacks. (Probably other stuff too, but I never looked.) I bought one when I was a freshman in college, and it held up for at least 1.5 years of constant use. I bought another one because that one was slightly worn (still useable, but I wanted another one), and I've been using that one for about 1.5 years and still counting. Of course, I find that I carry less stuff in college. College wear seems to be less demanding than high school wear though, but I find those backpacks to be sturdy.

One of my professors said he bought leather backpacks for his kids, but I have no idea what brand they were. I think he said they were like $150 each or something, but they definitely sounded like they were worth having.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll find something good with the North Face. Good night!

P. S.: The one I'm using right now is something like this:

P. P. S.: Aha, this is even better . . . their whole selection of campus packs:

OK, I found the one I'm using now. It's the Cargo Green one like this:

If I had to go back to high school, I wouldn't carry half the stuff I did because there really isn't any point doing it. If you carry your books and whole notebooks, you won't use more than 5% of what you have in there. You don't even come close to using everything at the time of finals. And how many people study for finals in class anyway?

If you have access to a copying machine, you can even make copies of the chapters you need if your teacher insists that you bring the book to class. Taking notes on legal pads also helps, especially if your tests are frequent. You can stop carrying the pads as needed . . . just make sure to stop writing when you get close to the end of a pad and the review for a test so you don't get stuck with two pads having the same material for the next test. If you do that, and carry some loose leaf and a couple folders too, your back will thank you.

I've even heard of people in college cutting their books in pieces because they don't want to carry them (books like three inches thick or more). Not a bad idea, but it's a bit expensive for my taste. Also, I usually want to keep my books. But some books don't have a high resale value, and they aren't interesting either, so it's a good idea at times. But I'd just make copies if I HAD to have the information on me at all times.

I love the bags from LL. Bean. You can order from llbean.com. I am not in high school but am a mom of 3, they have a wide selection, in many styles and colors and are quite durable. I have a sling backpack i use as a diaper bag and my son who is 6 has a Jr. style backpack from there. I hate to see a little kid with a giant backpack on their back. I also hate the tacky ones with characters like spiderman or whatever. They have some with the wheels if you carry a lot of heavy books and don't want to carry it on your back. They are also reasonably priced and they offer custom made totes in canvas or vinyl. In my day Jansport was cool for school but i don't know if they still are but they would hold up well to a heavy load. So if that brand is still cool you could try that. Also Lands End has lots of nice backpacks too.

Answer 3

American Eagle Bookbags

Have you checked hot topic? They have a website and stores around almost every mall. (I'm at California though). They have really cute bags, they supply totes, purses, and backpacks.
