Here is a crazy question

Published

Are you older students using bookbags or back packs for school? You know I'm just about 30 and I just keep thinking do thirty year old students wear bookbags? Will it hurt my back, will I look like I'm trying to be 19 again. I don't have a oppinion one way or the other, just wondering. LOL is this a crazy question or what?

My Zuca came today. Unbelievable. I ordered it yesterday morning. I can't believe it got here this fast. I took a bunch of pictures:

The construction is fantastic. The frame is very, very sturdy. When they say it supports 300 pounds I think they are being modest. I pulled it around the house a bit and it felt well-balanced. I didn't feel like it was going to tip over or anything.

The insert is very well made. It's a heavier canvas-like material. The seams are strong.

It has a lot of room, certainly more room than any bag I currently have and any backpack I can imagine. It's so pretty I hate to get it dirty!

I'll probably have more to say after I actually use it next week.

This is the rolling backpack I just bought today. I'm almost 37 and too old to care what is cool. I wanted to save my back. Plus, this is big enough for my laptop when I choose to bring it along.

I'm almost 30 and I carry a stylish black leather messenger bag I got on eBay for $20. I love it! I like to look nice and put-together and it looks very professional. Of course it will only carry about 2 books so I'll have to upgrade next year when I start NS. But whatever I get will still be cute and stylish! :wink2:

Hey PoshGirl,

I'm so excited for you:yeah:! I just LOVE things that are as functional as the Zuca seems to be. There is nothing that makes me happier than finding something that fits a real need in my life and lasts a long time. It has to be great not to lug something around, and not to worry about it something tipping over. No matter what, you won't have to sacrifice carrying something that you might need because there isn't enough room. Congratulations!!!!

PS - What AMAZING delivery!

I ordered myself a backpack from LLBean and got it monogrammed. That'll make me look cool! LOL. Of course, at my age, I'm way past trying to look cool. I just need to save my back. Messenger bags pull on my shoulders and back in an awkward way. I have a while before I start NS. Maybe I'll get myself a Zuca then!

I have a question about the rolling Jansport backpack. Is there any problem with the straps getting under the wheels? I have a rolling backpack in another brand, and I had to cut the straps because they were always getting in the way of the wheels.

Backpack on wheels for me, and I couldn't give a **** what I look like!
