There are about 21 million high school and college students across the US. In this era of awesome education, you’re lucky to be one of the elite if you fall into this category. That means you’ll need to prepare for learning as well as the social setting that comes with attending classes.
Choosing the best backpack for school is critical for keeping confident (and stopping back pain). Read on for some things to think about when you’re looking to buy a backpack for your academic pursuits.
Go for Quality
Make sure that you only shop for high-quality backpacks made from leather and other durable materials. It can be tempting to get something cheap and cute at a superstore, but these bags don’t last very long. They also are far less supportive and harder on your back, which can cause you to develop pain in all areas of your spine.
Determine which materials you like and roll with them. Leather is good because it comes in tons of different awesome colors and styles, plus it’s made to last for many years. If you don’t like the idea of real leather, you can also look into supportive cotton bags with hard, durable straps.
Find the Best Deals
Backpacks can be expensive if you’re buying a high-quality option, so it’s important that you look online for coupons and deals. Make sure that you’re vigilant about checking the web for ways to save money. You can also email retailers about coupon codes and the ways that they can help you to save money when necessary.
Match Your Personal Style
Consider what you wear on a daily basis to classes, coffee shops, and social settings. If you think you’re going to bring your backpack to a certain place often, get something that matches the majority of your wardrobe for those occasions. This ensures that it’s a fashion accessory as well as a functional item.
You can also personalize your bag with pins and buttons. Retailers like Redbubble let independent artists sell any custom design they like, so you’re bound to find something that’s perfect for you. Whether you want a song quote, something nerdy, or a fandom-related pin, they have your back.
Make Sure It’s Big Enough
Once you narrow down your options and decide on a design you like, take a look at its dimensions. Make sure that it’s big enough to hold all of the books and supplies that you carry around regularly. You also will want to check and see that the laptop pocket fits the specific dimensions of your computer so that you can tote it around painlessly.
