Is this a good "backpack" for my first year of High School?

Question

I probably would just hold my books in my arms, but i would use this bag for school supples, folders & binders and all my other junk lol. What do you think? is it good for school?

Answer 1

i think you should probably opt for a more traditional style backpack. Although carrying your books from class to class in your arms can be effective at school, when you have work in every subject to take home, that can be really tough. Also, Vera Bradley is very nice, but not made to be very durable for heavy things such as text books if you were to look at any other size in that brand. Many companies make good quality bookbags, though, that are not lacking in style. Jansport bookbags can be bought plain so you can style it yourself or have fun designs, but have a lifetime garuntee. Also, L.L. Bean lets you custom design colors and styles to create your own custom bag.

Yah that's what girls do at my highschool. We get huge totes and use those for binders and stuff. Hah, it's funny how stuff goes from school to school! Have a good school year!

Answer 3

its best to have everything in 1 binder or bag, its harder to forget something. I get one of the binders with the pencil cases  attached, and have folders for each class, so If I have that I prob get everything.

Answer 4

its kinda ugly well its just not my style

Answer 5

I didn't even use a backpack in highschool.

Just carry the books you need, keep everything else in your locker!

Answer 6

yeah it's fine, it might be a little small.. but it looks fine.

Answer 7

Might not be big enough.

Answer 8

Looks like a good bag to carry around stuff.

You may not want to bring a purse as well around with you

two bags?

I usually just get a huge purse that can fit a lot into it and store everything but of course it gets heavy.

If you can maybe wait for school to start, you may not need it.

Answer 9

thats cute.. i think its fine.

Answer 10

its ok

Answer 11

it's nice, but out of all the things that come with high school your going to worry about a backpack?

Answer 12

um....high school doesn't matter yo do and say whatever you want it doesn't matter in the future make the best of it...

Answer 13

Hopefully it's big enough, but in my opinion, GET THE RASPBERRY FIZZ! :]

That bag is sooo cute

Answer 14

Well i guess it would work but I know that at my school, it wouldn't be near big enough. I suggest getting a REAL backpack...I recommend L.L. Bean. Trust me, your arms will thank you.

Answer 15

may I recommend actually getting a backpack? There is no way that thing will be big enough.

Answer 16

it's way too expensive not to use that much. it's more like a purse. and it's not too cute. so i suggest a normal, cheaper backpack for a freshman!

Answer 17

WOW..not really. you should be able to find a decent backpack in stores near you that are more suitable than that...

Answer 18

THATS SOOOOOOOOOO UGLY!!!
