Rec'd on 👜 Commuter students: how to keep backpack from being huge???

I wasn’t a commuter in college, but i think it’s better to come more prepared for school than not. It would suck to have to go back home to get something. Also i had a Herschel backpack (same one all 4 years), and i really appreciated the space it offered for me and my items for class. I feel like there’s this weird trend of people saying backpacks are lame, but they are convenient.

yk what this made me feel so much better >:) I just feel a little awkward when there’s people walking around with a tiny little backpack or just a laptop case and I have a backpack thats bigger than me :.)

swagged out big backpack

i think the problem with big backpacks is that they can be unsightly but if you have a large backpack that looks cool then what's the problem? as someone who commuted to school all four years (except for the covid ones) that backpack is literally your apartment on campus; it's great to keep it light for an average day but if you ever need to pack more stuff into it a little backpack won't let you do that also don't let memes about freshmen discourage you; they're proliferated by people who were in the grand scheme literally just freshmen themselves. not even joking mere months after graduating all undergrads were unbearably annoying to me and indistinguishable from each other linked is my daily driver backpack c. 09/2021 i will literally never get rid of this bag and it's pretty huge

a good backpack🎒

It will change your life. I’ve had my Kanken for almost 10 years now, and it probably needs a good cleaning, but aside from that, it’s been a constant companion on the road/sky/sidewalk. Plus you’ll look studious AND bohemian
