Messenger bags will fuck up your back, even if you're muscular.

>>14589957

Just use your Rick tote

>>14589951
do i bring a briefcase to the gym?

>>14589971
Yes but I don't want to look like one.

>>14589961
because im not a kid and i can't fit my laptop

>>14590001

yes, I've actually been doing this if you can believe it.
Alligator skin dyed green with golden metal. People show some respect when I walk in. I'm not some average faggot with an under armor duffle or some mall tier shit.

>>14590254
You can't be serious about the duffle bag, why all of a sudden from age 25-40 do you need to carry your laptop + essentials in a bag that carries a weeks worth of clothing?

>>14590247
My professor legitimately does this

I carry a briefcase but I dress professionally

>>14589951
how am i supossed to carry my shit to uni? totes are gay and briefcases are for larpers

>>14589961
Cause I'm neither cool, nor a kid.
Also i don't care

>>14590548
messenger for light days, backpack for heavy

>>14589951

I just started carrying my books and notebook. How much shit are people carrying that they need a backpack?

>>14592395
Why the fuck would you be carrying a lab coat outside of a lab + lab goggles/glasses? What about contamination?

>>14590308
That's the perfect amount of i don't give a fuck and practical.

>Why the fuck do you have to bring lab items to a lab, does the lab not have stocked equipment?

>>14589957
If you can't carry all your shit in your hands than you've got too much stuff (or your a handlet)

>>14592395

You are a gargantuan faggot.

yeah, baby, coming through like a GI Joe with Cargo pockets! Who needs two free hands anyway? I can like juggle a babe with one and make her hold my coffee so I can sip some, while I stroll down the hall with approximately 80 pounds of gimmicks and gadgets, bro!

>>14592395
Guarantee you dont need all that shit cousin

>>14589961
In my country we call those “mariconeras”. Maricón means faggot and the “era” is a suffix that means that it is for an action relating to the word it is added to, in this case; being a faggot

>>14594848
look at his haircut. a chad wouldn't wear that.

Holy fuck, you literal schoolkids are hilarious.

I carry

>keys
>money
>cigs+lighter
>mobile

What the fuck else do you need? All of this fits in your pockets.

>>14595041
Absolute autistic boomer has still not taken the hint that this thread is about school kids

>>14594913
Didn't know you need cargo pockets to store a pencil and a calculator. I put my TI-84 in my back pocket very comfortably. Maybe if you're a chick its not doable, but otherwise its not a big deal. Also I'm sorry your so soft that carrying a binder and laptop in your hand is a big deal. You should just get a messenger bag than like the other anons in this thread suggested. Or you can keep going with your craft singles tier backpack with velco straps

>>14595069
>I put my TI-84 in my back pocket very comfortably
ok, nerd. hope you calculate something cool while I count my money with my freaking smartphone in my pocket, while I carry my laptop where it belongs. In a fucking a leather bag that is.

>>14589951
You can force this meme all you want but you'll fail every time

>>14595026
It's a buzz cut, also
>implying there's a cookie cutter haircut for a "chad"

>>14592408
Literally only see chads in those, soibois wear crew socks with shorts.

>>14592395
You don’t have labs Monday-Friday unless you’re a grad student slave. Also using a laptop to take notes is brainlet tier.

>>14590247
>plastic grocery bag
>plastic
vintage

>>14595259
LOL
it's not a buzzcut
it's a buzzcut after a month or two, it's a typical "guy who doesn't give a fuck about his look haircut"
Chads care despite what some gay memesters might have told you

>>14595041
>calls people kids
>commits the incredibly childish act of smoking every day
Such a hypocrite.

>>14595339
You're just trying to have a point of contention for no reason. I don't care if he's chaz or not. OP or you, are still a faggot. Stop taking pictures of people in class you loser.

>>14595357
>I don't care if he's chaz or not.
You're the one who said he's one, sweaty. I'm just proving you wrong. ;)

>>14595388
Whoa, I got proved wrong by your arbitrary definition of Chad.

>>14595397
whoa, you're a fucking retard

>>14589961
only people who are roadmen or pretend to be wear those

aka people who most likely sell weed or carry it on those bags and sell it to 12 year olds

>>14589961
this 30 yo. I know bought a supreme bag such as that and wears nothing but nike (nigger) sneakers

how do I let him know he's fucking himself up?
this is like having to tell a friend of yours he smells bad all the time

>>14595089
>I carry my laptop where it belongs. In a fucking a leather bag that is.
Just call it a purse, stop trying to weasel around it

>>14590548
exactly.
Briefcases are cool,if you dress accordingly.

>>14590247
growing up there was this very poor friend(actually 2 of them) that took their school supplies and books in a mint colored grocery plastic bag to school.
We roasted each other frequently ,but no one ever made fun of them about that. So sad :(

No, it won't "fuck up your back" if you wear it cross-body.

Need /fa/ advice. Headed into uni in a few days. Should I get a messenger bag or a decent looking Eddie Bauer Ruck?

>>14592395
This, i haver to carry:
>My heavy ass books
>laptop and laptop charger
>pen, pencil and eraser
>A notebook
>Lab coat
>Diagnose equipment (I'm a med student)
If im on a lucky day and i got to use my car im fine with a messenger, if i need to use public transportation i need a backpack or im not gonna make it

>>14589960

Maybe if you’re carrying bricks and walking 5 miles a day

Laptop and a notebook aren’t going to break your back on the way to the bus stop

>>14595041
>school kids
Literally does not think of the fact that some people have big boy jobs and need to carry a laptop papers and a notebook

>>14596437
Why don’t you put all of that in your lab coat and tie it to a stick like a hobo

It would be aesthetic

>>14594943
>Imagina llevar riñonera

I think once you are no longer a student backpacks look a little weird for everyday use, but are totally fine for certain situations and professions
just graduated college so what are some good messenger/laptop bag models/brands?

>>14589951

>>14596760
I got one of these and a pair of jeans from uniqlo for free.

https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/shoulder-bag-418842.html?dwvar_418842_color=COL69&cgid=men-accessories-and-shoes

Although, I feel like the messenger bag lacks the same aesthetic as a messenger bag with a flap over the top.

>>14595041

Simple: you tell him the truth. "Your supreme bag is hideous and you wear nothing but nigger shoes. its honestly disgusting. get a grip"

>>14589957
Briefcase, fucking retard.

I used to walk around with a 4kg AR on my shoulder for 3 years, nothing happened to my back.

dare I say it , surplus military fatigues with thigh pockets :v)
if you're so hot, /fa/, you ought to be able to pull it off, right?

>>14589957
keep your books in locker and only take home what you need to?
for college the need for lots of books and shit is higher so instead of looking like a manchild get something like a knapsack or one of those over the shoulder down at your side deals

>>14596703
uhh classy, me want it

i dont want all that shit in my pockets, not comfy at all

>>14594943
Interesting, us Balkan Slavs call it pederuša (peder=faggot).

My bf is pretty /fa/and he wears a backpack and it’s freakin amazing! He always takes all my stuff in his backpack, we never take plastic bags etc.

I have pic related from Filson. Office dress is business casual. I use it without the strap cuz I hate the messenger bag look. It reminds me of a Barbour waxed jacket.

These are really populair and somewhat effay in Utrecht. If you dont need a briefcase people will laugh at you, its a fucking bag dont overthink it you incel.

You didn't learn it in highschool? Shit was drilled into me in 10th grade, but then again it was ap eng lang. Also the word soliloquy. Bitch also made us do a 40 page report on crime and punishment that everyone got an A on despite reading it or not because "iT sHoWeD iNnItIaTiVe" The cunt.

>>14589951

to carry shit in it. are you insane?

im 31 and take my gym shit to work in it and workout after work.

North Face is a great brand, i'm thinking about getting one myself. I have checked one of them out and it is top quality: nice leather body, good padding, good size, good stitching density, decent detail, etc...
It costs €108 and are still made in Asia, though.
I don't know if their cheaper bags are as good.

>this thread
>caring what other people think about the way you carry things around

I've been using this for the past few months

It's his fault for wearing a shirt like that.
Wear a white undershirt for travel, a dark colored shirt for class, I used to bike 10 miles to campus and I had a separate shirt for my classes.

>>14600922
I think it's just OP pretending its childish, to make all those insecure retards here nervous.

>>14589957
One strap that shit. Switch arms when needed poooooosies

>>14589951
I value the practicality of a backpack over a one strap bullshit bag that doesn't distribute the weight like 2 straps can
>oh but its not a e s t h e t i c
fuck off I have things to do

>>14596812
being so insecure about your own appearance that you feel the need to take pics of strangers in order to garner some sort of personal esteem is extremity childish and shows low self esteem.

>>14590016
If you dont bring the latest macbook air to every class you'll be laughed out. If you go to a university that's worth a shit anyways

>>14601677
Fits my 2" binder and 2" lab manual, plus ipad. Doesn't have big giant pockets which I liked, just enough for writing utensils and wires.

I use a backpack because I ride. Pretty practical

Yeah kids put your alcohol in a briefcase you fucking retards

>>14603565
I never realized Americans buy so much apple shit , I thought it was too expensive

>>14595069
You would look like shit walking around like that. People would probably wonder why you can't afford a backpack. I know you're trolling but if you go to any campus anywhere on Earth you will see backpacks everywhere. Nobody judges you for wearing a backpack at school.

>>14603565
Think different

>>14597738
Of course not you crayon eater. You're probably in your 20's. But when you get older your joints are going to go to shit way before everyone else and you're going to be in a lot of pain.

>>14603668
>I never realized Americans buy so much apple shit , I thought it was too expensive
It is too expensive. That's why everyone's in debt yet living their best lives.

>>14603668
Taxes are lower here

>>14603656
agreed. I also use panniers though. But I’m all for having a backpack. It comes in handy for the activities I do as well as the job I have. No problem using a backpack.

just buy the laptop version of these they are comfy as fuck

>>14604063

messenger bags look really dorky and gay. backpacks you can carry much more weight comfortably

I don’t like carrying shit in my trouser pockets, I need room for a laptop, notepad, pencil case, wallet, phone, keys, and sometimes other shit like a book or packaged food. Backpack makes sense for most people with similar needs to me.

Studies show that taking notes and doing work on paper provides better information retention and top students know this. People who use computers (as their main tool) for notes, especially during lectures, are usually just looking for an easier (and less effective) at to take notes.

>>14592412
If it isn't a lab position but just labs for a class you can't keep your shit in the lab, you are expected to bring it and take it home when you are done. When I had a summer position I just left it in the lab though
