new tote/messanger bag for school

<p>In highschool, I always used a tote, longchamp bags and similiar bags, i stopped backpacks after 7th gade, as did nearly every girl in the grade, but just where I live, every girl has always done that. </p>

<p>I also had a pretty big locker so could constantly go to it through the day, so never had more than 3 notebooks and a book on me at all time, so it wasn’t heavy. </p>

<p>I was wondering in college, why do most people carry backpacks, is it cuz we dont come to the dorms during the day so we need it? Or is it just more popular?</p>
