What are, or were, your school bags like?

Describe the school bags you've had in your life and the one you have now.

This is a response to this thread: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=620509

And I'm curious what other people have for school.


In junior primary school: The official (... private school) backpack. It was smallish and square shaped, had the school logo on it.
For the rest of primary school I just reused it for the most part, even though I was at a public school then and it wasn't from that school. And no, we weren't poor and couldn't afford a new one.
Year 6 and 7, I got a light weight backpack that was reasonably popular at the time in my school. Was cream coloured, with flowers on it, a draw string top and then a flap that buckled down at the front over that.
High school: various backpacks that were navy in colour, pretty much everyone had navy coloured backpacks in my highschool even though it wasn't required. No one really cared what they looked like, though some of mine were a bit too big looking for me- but I did genuinely need that space for books, lunch, drinks, etc, most of the time.
Uni (yeah, i'm old guys): No one cares what bags you have. I have a backpack. Other girls have satchel kinds of things with quite a lot of space in them. Very few have anything that looks like a handbag, and if they do it's just for the 'light' days, where there's few classes, no library trips etc, and since they're adults, they do have a variety of handbags at home so they just switch between them when they need different things. Most of the guys have backpacks. Some girls like me choose to as well, and *gasp* I'm not teased or shunned for it.

How about yours?

Infants: Had one of them cool plastic things for your dinner
Juniors: Had a grey umbro backpack
Comp: String bag and a bigger Adidas backpack when I have PE. String bag varied between Cardiff one in the early years, Nike one then and I've just had an Adidas one for Christmas so I'll be using that from now on.

[Black_Apalachi]

[Jamesy]

Middle School was just a small backpack thing,
Secondary was a large backpack

[Louis5678]

Primary school was normal, generic school backpacks.

Years 7, 8 and 9 I used the same Adidas bag.
Years 10 and 11 I used a Nike "Just Do It' mini bag.

[Fifteen]

I used to have a purple draw string bag with a glittery butterfly on in primary school :rolleyes:

Secondary school I had grey Quicksilver bag.

I have a shoulder bag in college, stoopid handbag type things are too small to fit all my stuff in.

[alexxxxx]

Dunlop bag (green and white) this year, messanger bag style. The year before was grey and white dunlop bag, same style about. I think before all that I had just normal school bag.

[MrGazet]

i had loads of bags during my primary school days.

for secondary i had a grey bilabong bag and another random black bag

[Axel]

My first bag was a really dorky looking bag, a HEAD bag which was bright green and blue... looked really funny. Then after that I got a nice Airwalk bag cos I got into skating, don't know what happened to that. :( But after that I got a grey billabong bag, and when that went to ****, I replaced with a Microsoft Research bag that I still have now to show how cool I am.

[Glen Coco]

[TheEclipse]

Sorry? I don't go/didn't go to private school. I went to a public school. Which in Australian terminology means a state run school.

If you were talking to me that is.


Anyway, I'm glad that this thread confirms my suspicions and also reassures me greatly so far.

Actually it's probably not the same, just remembered a lot of people have them leather ones now.

[Blinger1]

In primary school we had those square bags. Pretty much all Victorian (perhaps all Australian) primary schools have the same type. It was maroon with the school logo on the front.

In high school I moved onto a backpack. Just a normal one you find in the shops, perhaps like this (http://store.bootsnall.com/product_images/isabella-backpack.jpg)

And for work, i use a green bag (just to carry my work clothes) and thats all.

[Hushie]

I had this really boring backpack for the first year of secondary school, then another backpack. Now I have an eboy messenger bag... love messenger bags

[Sunnily]

Erm i can't remember too far back but years 4,5,6 I had a pink hello kitty backpack. Now i have a Muse bag (black bag with muse written on it) and a black leather handbag also a warehouse bag.

[TheEclipse]

Yay, another Australian who understands what I'm on about. :D
