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...


But I wouldn't want to look like a tramp in school, gotta keep the reputation :smile:

By the way how do people use backpacks? I absolutely hate them after using a satchel bag for 5 years, it's also easy to access stuff in a satchel bag because you don't have to take it off to get something out :biggrin:

People don't look like tramps... you have to dress smart casual... All I mean is that people dont worry too much after the first couple of weeks.

I agree... satchels have never hurt my shoulders either...
The bottom of my bag is like an e-coli infested petri dish.

A backpack usually from Roxy, a few pens, make-up, girl stuff (in case), some food, water bottle, pencil, ruler, planner, books, hairbrush and about 5 lip balms :smile:

:rofl: the attachment :mmm:

I don't like that either but there's a simple way to stop that - tighten the strap ;D
Upgrading to a backpack:wink:

2 chapsticks, pencil case, change, 2 pads minimum, oyster card, a watch I never wear, pencils and pens at the side for when I cba to open my pencil case, paperclips, spare compasses and protractors, perfume, post-its, screwdriver and hair pins.
I don't wear makeup so:rolleyes:
Animals and fungus may accumulate at the bottom over time.

I forget what's in my bag during the school year so it's mostly pointless.

Haha I guess I would be ok with that, but I don't mind wearing a uniform, it gives me loads of pockets to put pens etc so that's one good thing i guess :smile:

Yeah, apart from when I did PE because I stopped taking books out of my bag due to me forgetting them the next day, and along with my kit it could become a bit heavy. Also on Tuesdays I had Geography which I had a folder for my coursework which was kinda heavy along with some water and my various other books. I think I've developed a hard shoulder though due to it :P

Eh that can be annoying, but to me it mostly happens when the bag is quite light so it can swing more, however with books etc it shouldn't do it as much. Could sometimes be annoying when I walked home from school though :frown:

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?


It was fine, most people hadn't even heard of Balenciaga! And I was either carrying it or had it next to me all day so no one would have any a chance to touch it anyway :smile:
Pens
Highlighter
Ruler
My glasses (I wear contacts)
Headphones
Notebook
Any textbook(s) I will need
Lunch

Memory stick
Sometimes a piece of fruit for a snack :smile:
