Backpack for school

[palpatine]

I have my backpack on my back less than 1 hr in the whole day between in between classes and 30 sec to and from the bus stop.

You should see some of the ppl here, they have the largest backpack and on the tinniest person.

And i have enough crap going on in my life between juggling 2 soccer teams in the fall, golfing, and 3+ hours of homework/studying every night, and a decent social life that i dont have time to take pictures and set everything up on my computer, ive tried it in small doses before and its just too much work for a small benefit.

gotcha. well, look into the north face backpacks if you get a chance.

Well, my point was to go with smaller backpacks with lower capacity.

As I mentioned earlier, I think North Face backpacks are probably one of the safest bets. They are designed for hikers, who tend to carry heavy loads, so they distribute loads well. They also have a nice strap for across your midsection to help take the stress off your lumbar region. And, they have a bunch of other features you can read about there

I have had a Surge backpack for 6 years and it has been on countless trips, domestic and abroad. I am still using it, but it is nearing the end of its life cyce. It looks quite stylish (no longer available in quite this design or color, but some of the current models look pretty good) and it close to your price range. I have the 13"MBP as well and it easily fits into it.

+1 for the Surge as well. I have it and it is great. Lots of space for whatever you need and it still looks slim if you don't have much in it.
