What Your College Backpack Says About You

In This Article:

Backpacks. From our earliest days of school, our backpacks have not just been an accessory to hold our books, but a gateway to our personal style; especially if one had to wear uniforms to school. Does this person care about fashion, sports, or anything at all? Someone's backpack is a direct reflection of who they are, here's some of the book bags you might see in college and what it says about their owner.

1) PINK

PINK backpack owners can usually be spotted wearing head to toe PINK sweats (extra clout points if they also match backpack). PINK backpack owners also take the longest time in the line at "Starbs." We get that you are very knowledgable about a chain coffee place but can you please order your venti caramel frappuccino , with extra caramel drizzle, 4 pumps of white mocha, extra whip cream and sprinkled with coconut flakes and move along with life? Also, can PINK backpack owners please stop asking so many questions during class?

"The sky was blue on Sunday evening,"

"Um, excuse me, sorry, so what color was the sky?"

Also, stop asking people to like your newest instagram post in the class group chats k thanks xoxo

2) North Face

Worn by girls and boys alike, North Face backpacks are among the most popular ones on campus. Usually decked out with Greek buttons saying "Gamma Apple Pie <3's (insert school name here)!" You usually never know if North Face owners are even wearing pants, or if their XXL t-shirts are covering them up. Boys who own North Face backpacks will send you "wyd" texts at 2am, and will never make eye contact with you on campus even though they asks for your nudes on snapchat almost every Saturday night.

3) Vera Bradley

Vera Bradley backpack owners always talk about how they are going to be teachers or nurses some day. They ALWAYS have highlighters in every color imaginable, and even find space to even keep a first aid kit somewhere. Vera Bradley owners always have some type of braid going on; whether if its just a side braid, their bangs braided to the side, or even a dutch braid; they just LOVE braids. Side note: if a Vera Bradley girl is worried about a test, you might as well drop the whole class.

4) Kanken

Fjallraven Kanken owners are a new breed on campus. Mostly worn by girls who wear mom jeans and keds to class. Also usually have bangs, and brag about how poppin' their tumblr has been lately. Usually self proclaims themselves as #shy #loner or even #antisocial , even though they are the girls in the back of class who never know when the shut the hell up.

6) Rolling backpack

MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY, people who use rolling backpacks are always on the move, speed walking with their backpack struggling to follow behind. These Usain Bolts of campus are usually non-traditional students, or students who mostly hang around the STEM buildings. Rolly backpack people always bring the most INSANE food to class. You'll be sitting in class one day and start smelling Italian food, turn around and see Steven eating freaking Lasagna in the middle of your Prof talking about the Great Depression. Will always be the GOATs about making Quizlets for the group chats.

7) Lululemon

"What? Oh you want to know where I got my backpack from? You couldn't see the lululemon logo near the zipper? Whats Lululemon...? Don't worry its way too expensive for you then :)" Girls who wear lululemon backpacks are similar to the PINK girls. Usually decked out in over priced tank tops and yoga pants, these girls are always talking about staying #hydrated and how perfect their boyfriend is and how he better propose to them before graduation OR ELSE. These girls will look at you up and down like the simple plebeian that you are, and go about with their lives. Also don't even get them started about on-campus yoga...

8) University Backpack

Uni backpacks belong to two types of people.

  1. The person who is WAY too dedicated to the school. Can usually see them wearing the Uni hoodie, snapback, black sweats, and the matching backpack. Even if you don't go to a large school, these people are ALL about school spirit. Will have University's name in every social media bio they have, will be at every football game, and are always hanging around in the dining hall.
  2. The student athlete. Student athletes want EVERYONE to know that they are a student athlete. You will never see them in clothes that aren't from the school, their ego depends on everyone knowing that they play sports. They also travel around campus in packs...you'll never see one alone. It can be 80 degrees out and you will still see one or two wearing their sport's fleece hoodie or joggers. They just can't go about life having people think that I dare say it... a normal student. They also walk super slow around campus, and will cut in front of you in line at the dining hall.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
