Wow. When I was in high school, the Really Cool People never carried backpacks, and only rarely carried their own books.

It's been too long since high school for me to remember what people did. [Razz]

But, on the college campus, I see most people wearing backpacks with two straps. Parking is a nightmare at UAB, and usually you have to tote your books a long way so you want to carry them in the most efficient and comfortable manner possible - you also are too far away to go back to your car between classes, so you have to carry a full days worth of books. In my case I carry three books plus notebooks plus usually a novel that I read when I have time between classes.

Two shoulders high school and college, when I did backpacks...but I was often carrying my cello, too. Since grad school, I've gone the messenger bag/briefcase route.
