In highschool (freshmen year) is it better to have a regular backpack or a bag?

Question

My sister told me to buy a backpack because I will need to take alot of textbooks back and forth. But most of the freshmens I know are buying bags? (But most of the people who are buying bags aren't that serious about school.)

Answer 1

i think a bag is better...just get a big bag so it can fit ur stuff..I'm goin' to 10th grade and i'm gonna buy a bag this year..hope i helped :)

Answer 2

Well im a freshmen (C.O. 2012 WOOT! WOOT!) and i have a jansport backpack and that's what mostly everyone has.

Answer 3

get a big bag. back packs, not in style anymore.but bags are in. a nice tote bag will do the trick.  

Answer 4

I would say go with the backpack. I remember freshman year, (I'm now a junior) and everyone had bags. They look good but they are bad for your back and you can't carry much. Most juniors and seniors just use a backpack and keep their binders and books in their lockers.

So I would recommend bringing a backpack to school and carrying your binder to class (only if you have a nice locker in a good location otherwise just carry the backpack).

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Even though bags are cuter, I would go with the backpack.  I am a freshmen and I didn't...but I'm wishing I did!!  Most of the girls at my school have back packs...  One of your shoulders will be sore if you don't!

Answer 6

What you buy to carry your books and personal things is your personal preference and does not determine whether you are a serious student or not.  It's obvious you are nervous about starting high school and that's perfectly nervous.  Just calm down and be yourself; you'll be fine.  Remember, real friends will like you for who you are and not who you pretend to be.

Answer 7

You want a good bag that will be suitable. you can get some pretty cool backpacks anyway so its your choice. if you buy a bag and its not right then get a backpack. its your choice but ask people who are older than you what they did and make sure you make the decision that's right for you

hope this helps

Answer 10

Haha get a backpack to start with, who care what everyone else is getting, a backpack will be useful.

If you want a bag after a few weeks or something then get a bag. I have both but that's me.

I messed up my freshman year, I'm now a junior, so focus in school

if you mess up with freshman year it will affect you in the end. :/
