When you're a senior in high school all of your time seems to lead to graduation but when graduation day arrives you're surprised at how fast it all went. At least that's how I felt on my graduation day. Even with prepping for college, the reality of moving on beyond high school hit at my graduation party. I received a lot of heartfelt gifts, cards, cash, and a few needed items. One gift I received at my graduation party was a book bag that would become my favorite gift as it made me smile amid the stressful days of rushing from class to class. Having the right backpack for college can help set you up for success from day one. Here are a few ideas to think about when shopping for your own backpack for college or when shopping for a new graduate.
With all the choices for backpacks, consider a few things when picking out the best pack for your college needs.
- How big is your laptop? - Check the sizing on the backpack to be sure your laptop will fit.
- How many books will you need to carry to classes? - Be sure the pack can hold all your textbooks and you'll have padded shoulder straps if you pack a lot.
- Does it match your style? - Pick a color or pattern that makes you happy!
- Does it have enough pockets for all your gear? - Think calculators, pens, highlighters, cellphone pockets.
- Is it made from quality materials that will last more than one year? - College can take its toll on your gear, buy something durable to get you to graduation.
