Review and Discussion for Different Types of Backpacks
backpacks for school

should i carry a TOTE or BACKPACK to school?

i’m starting a brand new tall propagandize in eighth month similar to for 9th grade. should i make use of a jansport trek or an abercrombi/ae/hollister tote? i’ve regularly carried a trek so i’m not certain if a totes have been comfortable. opinions?

    Suggestions:
  1. well i was a freshman last year and i started off with a back pack and then i switched to a tote. it looks a lot more stylish than an ordinary back pack and you will see A LOT of upperclassmen girls with totes. you get used to the feel of a tote after a while.

    so i’d suggest you go with the tote.

    but a warning. if u get ur tote from hollister/abercrombie/ae chances are, that someone else in school will have the same exact tote. scratch that. a lot of people will have the same tote. trust me, ive seen this happen to a few of my friends. but if you dont care, then go right ahead and use that hollister tote.

  2. I carry a tote to school and not only does it look cuter, in my opinion, it’s a lot more convenient. And easier to carry.

  3. i ALWAYS use totes for school…totes arent bulky and they dont take up a lot of room…go for a cute tote :)

  4. backpack fer sure

  5. TOTES THEY ARE WAY BETTER AND MORE COMFORTABLE

  6. carrry a tote! i carry one too, and its really cute, looks good with outfits, and is very comfortable. Just make sure the tote is big enough for all your pencils papers etc.

  7. i switch back and forth. i have a lot of totes and one backpack.
    so yaa, just keep both and switch whenever you feel like it.

  8. i like totes better they are cuter more stylish and they are comfortable and dont take up a lot of space

  9. Definitely a tote. I mean, style wise, they are waaay better. And they aren’t uncomfortable unless you try and cram too much stuff in it.

  10. A BACKPACK!

    Once upon a time last year, I gave into the tote temptation because they were just "oh so cute," but I had to switch after 2 months.

    Firstly, there’s less room in there, which can make it look buldgy, and secondly, its a shoulder-killer.
    No one really pays much attention to the bags either way, they mostly focus on the outfit, so I’d go backpack.
    Good luck!

  11. a tote bag definently
    backpack are really nerdy
    u can even do a really big purse from victoria secret, coach, pacsun, old navy, or even target:)

  16. totes are probably cuter but they are definitly not comfortable, especially if you are carrying like anything more then two books
    i tried it for a couple weeks and my shoulder was killing me, it cant be good for your posture
    bookbags can be cute too, especially the l.l. bean ones(i hav a red one), jansport has some cute ones too(i hav a white courderoy one) ^-^

  18. It really depends on your course load. If you have a lot of courses with large texts (AP Global has three at my school) and a day where you have to bring a lot of them, get a backpack. Style is irrelevant!!
    I personally have tons of totes, and two book bags. I don’t have a locker, so I pretty much take my life with me. On gym days, I bring my backpack…or a larger tote..to fit my clothes and if I’m wearing sandals..my sneakers as well.
    On days when I don’t need many books, any bag will do. Bags can be a lot of fun, just shop around and don’t assume the clostliest one is the best. Get the one’s that suits your needs and style and with a little time you will have a great assortment!

  19. totes are definitely cute but ONLY if you can fit your stuff in it. if not just go with a cute backpack…cuz too heavy totes send a message to everyone that you’re trying to be "in". and if you do go with a tote make sure it’s high quality

  20. most people will tell you to get a tote because they are cuter. However, they are not the most comfortable bags to carry and can actually hurt your back. I preferred carrying a backpack all through school into college.
