As a new semester of school starts for some, it leaves one wondering what to put into the book bag? Everyone had different needs, and what works for some may not work for others. I'll share ideas that have worked in the past for me.
Types of bags
For the average student, a typical backpack may work just fine. Someone working on their business career, may want a professional bag that can accommodate their computer and books. For a part time student, a smaller bag that can hold a computer and a book or two will be sufficient. I prefer a bag that can be slid quietly off my shoulder as I take my seat instead of straps to struggle with as I swing it around to the front of my body. Other types I've used were messenger bags and bag with wheels. I suggest if you have many books and a computer to use a bag with wheels so you prevent back problems. I would rather sacrifice style for comfort and health.

What to put in them
Besides books and a computer, what else should you carry? I have a small pouch that I carry my office type of supplies, such as pencils, pens, highlighters, paperclips, a flash drive, and post-it notes. I also carry a lip balm, gum/mints, hair ties, hand lotion, and hand sanitizer. I found small sizes near the toiletries at Wal-Mart. Instead of carry my purse with me all day, I keep a few dollars in my bag and my student ID. I leave my purse in the car, or at home, only bringing my wallet with me. Everyone is different, but I believe in only taking the things I need to school. I don't want too many things to keep track of and avoid getting stolen.
Things to Avoid
Don't carry all of your books with you. Only take the necessary ones to class, leave the others behind in your locker or car.
Don't bring a ton of makeup, it will get broken. Carry the lip product of the day and some blotting papers. Leave the makeup in your purse or at home.
Never put a credit or debit card in your book bag. It is so easy for someone to swipe your bag, or grab your wallet from that open pocket in the front. If you need to bring it along, keep it on you.
