do kids in highschool still wear their backpack on one shoulder
i just found my old backpack from some point in highschool and one of the straps is completely destroyed, but the other still looks new. is it still cool to wear only one shoulder? or has that just evolved into the messenger bag, and now all the cool kids have gay man purses and all the nerds still use both straps?
i'm so fucking old.

i actually completely stopped using my backpack like halfway through junior year, and left everything in my locker. i think i liked using my locker more because it was in a stairwell and i got the number i requested, 666.
god i'm old. and i was/am a huge fucking nerd.

FYI, JanSport is trying to reinvent themselves to be cool and hip.
So they are teaming up with multiple streetwear brands and doing colabs.

In high school one of my strap buckles broke in half so I just used one. Another guy had a backpack but had a thick velcro strap going across diagonnally to the other side.

I used to wear it all the way down, but I hated getting hit from having it so low. I decided to just start wearing it normal. Not WAY high like all the weird ass kids with like cookie monster/powerranger backpacks, just normal.
Only did the one strap if I had to book it somewhere. Pretty sure my Jansport cost me $12 3 years ago.

there was exactly ONE girl in my highschool who used a backpack with wheels. it was the funniest thing ever to see her bolting from class to class rolling that thing behind her with a wave of people turning and laughing as she went. she's probably dead now i bet. also, weren't those basic Jansport bags like 20 bucks a few years ago? i had one freshman year. took the Jansport patch off and replaced it with a Limp Bizkit patch. even sewed it on, so it was like a Limp Bizkit brand backpack. did it all for the nookie. you know. i also remember freshmen who had those bags from like CCS mailorder with the skateboard strap. their parents would drop them off and they'd get out of the Expedition with this backpack with the skateboard hanging from it. like they brought it for show and tell or something.

In highschool, I always wore it high up. never got in the way when you ran from the school proctors. haha.
Fuck, my ditching days were awesome. Run down the hill, thru the shire, and smoke a doobie on the way. Grab In-n-Out, see a proctor or 2. Good times. Random Story - This one time, i was ditching, and this chick that dug me wanted to join, so I says cool. We ditch, and its her first time smoking MEDICINAL, ever. So she takes it in, then starts freaking out, BATSHIT. I tell her to relax, she trips, calls her parents, and then they take her to the hospital. Fucking retarded. They were going to sue, but she got em to drop what ever they tried to do. I never spoke to her again. Until she sent boob shots. |

There's a cheaper version of the Jansport backpack, I can't remember the brand.
You can just remove the tags, and the only way to tell it wasn't a Jansport is to check the zipper handle because they were wavey instead of straight. |

I remember back in high school it was cool to steal hood badges and glue them on your back pack.

Shit I've been wearing my backpack up high since sophomore year in h.s., both straps too.
I hate those kids with messenger bags though. There pretty useless, you can't even fit that much in them. Just give me a simple $20 (now $45) backpack that'll fuck up my back and I'm good.
