You call that luck? I'd hate to wear own clothes because it's effort finding clothes to wear each day and planning what you're going to wear when I can just wake up in the morning and throw on my uniform :smile:
I used a Baleciaga City bag in white at sixth form college. It was huge and fit so much stuff in but I'm going to get a new bag for uni :smile:

I usually carried: pencil case, calculator, school diary, phone, keys, purse, make up bag, books/folders that I needed for the day, reading book and a spare pair of shoes (I drove to school but couldn't drive in heels so I would wear flats but take some heels in my bag and change into them at school, haha!)

I do, I have a lot of clothes aha and to be honest, people only actually CARE in the first week or two... after that it is normally just a select few girls who make an effort...

Why would you take something that costs in excess of £1,000 to school? Don't you know school is full of reprobates who **** **** up for fun?
At college, my bag typically holds:
My large notebook
A small notebook for my writing/blogging notes
Whatever book I might be reading at the time
My 3ds XL
A bunch of 3ds games
Maybe a bottle of water
Just had a scan through my bag and found: approximately ten pens that no longer work, a collection of broken pencils - with no sharpener in sight, receipts from years back, an empty portfolio, a notebook and my purse. Dat organisation, tho. :giggle:

Vans backpack from asos. I keep my daily diary, books for the day, iPod with headphones and a reading book along with some random crap.

Oh and always a water bottle. Lunch for the day too.

I've just left school, and I am starting Uni next month, so I guess this will change! In school I usually had:

School stuff - Jotters, notebooks, any textbooks, etc
External Harddrive
Pen drives
A billion pens that don't work, calculator, ruler
Various sheet music
Paracetamol
Money, keys
Paperback or Kindle
Food
I should probably put less things in my bag erm... :tongue:

-Notebook
-Planner
- Folder (Like a plastic one with letters & papers etc. I'd probably die if I lost it)
- Pencil case 1 or 2 depending on day
- Locker & House keys
- Vaseline :colondollar:
- Calculator
- Reading book
- Exercise books
- Phone & iPod
- Tissues
- Purse
- Water Bottle
- Memory stick
- Handsanitizer
- Deodorant (sometimes forget for basketball) and body spray
- Lunch in separate bag

^ Compared to other people I know my bag is as light as a feather. I have an Accessorize tote bag and it has survived! I'll probably change it though sometime this year.
