I want to get totes from abercrombie, hollister, roxy etc. to use for my “school bag” but should i just get a backpack instead?

   Totes are nicer looking but not if you’re really looking.
   Get a nice roxy backpack for school cos you don’t want to injure your shoulder.
   Get a tote bag for gym kit etc. and for days when you have less to carry.

   i wanna know the same thing..i just bought a backpack even though totes are more in style, its better for your back and you can carry more stuff. maybe you can get a tote for the first week and last week of school since there wont be lots of books to lug around. im doing that and im also going into 8th grade

   i think backpacks are more practical, and the only reason i have i tote bag is because my high school doesnt allow backpacks in the hallways. but when i have to carry multiple textbooks home, i wish i had a backpack

   Tote, thats what I used in 8th grade. It’s easier, plus you can take it to class with you.

   8th grade is the best year to show off your sense of style so i would go with a over sized bag instead of a tote because a tote doesn’t hold that much a over sized bag will and it will look great with your outfit even if your just wear jeans and a t-shirt. I’m in 10th grade and ive been caring a bag since 8th grade. just be confident and it will show
