Whether you call it your knapsack, backpack or bookbag, it serves the same purpose: holding those too-expensive textbooks, pens, pencils and notebooks. But just because the bags work toward the same goal, it doesn't mean you can't find some individuality in your bag.
Go for the traditional Jansport backpack and leave it be, or personalize it with patches and pins. Be funky with a one-strapped, over-the-shoulder bag or go for preppy with a leather satchel bag. Ladies, try a big canvas beach bag with a colorful print to spice up the school day.
Just remember, with only 10 minutes between classes you'll want a comfortable and sturdy bag so when you need to jet across campus, you can really book it!
