This article was posted in July of 2008 so I’m not sure if the exact bags shown is still on sale. But if you see one you like, try looking on the website of the brand who made it. The same link also gives you the pros/cons of backpacks vs. totes vs. messenger bags, so I would definitely read those sections.

Personally, I would stick with a backpack. I had a messenger bag freshman year of high school and it wrecked my back. I tried a cute tote sophomore year, but it was really awkward to carry. It was too big to be a shoulder bag so I had to carry it in my hand. It was like lugging around a shopping bag full of clothes every day. After that, I resorted to getting a backpack. They may not be the most fashion forward, but they are damn comfortable (as long as you distribute the weight properly).
