Bringing books to class... necessary?

caiacs: The manner in which you post is so condescending that, even if you have a valid point, you’re unlikely to be taken seriously because you tick people off. And you do have a good point about messenger bags being detrimental to someone who already suffers from back pains. Half the battle in convincing someone is to have a good idea–the other half lies in how you choose to express it. Just something to keep in mind…

Also:

but if it weren’t, then why the determination to . . dun dun dun . . . not carry those oh so heavy books? You’ll probably find them useful in class.



Maybe because it’s a pain–literally–to carry around books that aren’t necessary for classs (even if they might be useful)? Seriously, I’m usually the person who overstuffs their backpack, but even I don’t bring my textbooks to lecture, because it’s not necessary. I’ll admit, I’m a humanities major, so textbooks would probably be more useful in math and science course lectures than in my lectures.

Agree with ssllamas1 here:

I usually don’t even buy most of the books my classes require, thus I don’t bring them to class. My professors don’t care since they don’t even know me.

@GeneralWisdom - I just use those drawstring bags if I don’t have much to carry and a backpack if I do. Drawstring bags look sporty, so they aren’t considered “girlish.”
