Students’ backpacks are a huge part of their lives and aesthetic with many carrying items such as the typical Chromebook and notebook to personal items. For some students, their bags are like emergency kits, stuffed with make up bags, water bottles, headphones, and phone chargers. Here’s a look into these everyday essentials and how they represent each student’s personal story.
Senior Sammantha Gonzalez’s bag from Shein is one of her favorites and she prefers it over a backpack because of its convenience and affordability. Depending on the day, Gonzalez switches out the stuff in her bag to accommodate her needs for each specific class. On Thursdays she carries a Chromebook, notebook, and her makeup bag, which is less than what she carries on Wednesdays. “I like how my bag is black and matches with everything I wear,” said Gonzalez.
