thank you so much i think i'll stik with my suggestion everyone gets 15 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ahhh! i had to make that decision too.

Here's what you do,
You buy a tote, that is large. Well not big large huge. But one that is a little bigger than the others. Because carrying a backpack AND a tote is VERY tacky. And being embarrassed and talked about because of a situation like that is stupid. So do the right thing and buy a tote that is a little bigger than the others.
 
Okay, so I was thinking is that a lot of people in my school carry tote bags. See if you carry a tote bag and a backpack it might seem a little heavy instead of using only one backpack and carry the rest or use a tote bag and carry the books. If you have a big tote bag I say you just use that because I think it's easier to walk with then a heavy backpack, but then again if you use a backpack it has a lot of room and it's a less chance you will forget stuff. If you do use a tote bag try to transfer everything from your backpack to your tote bag. I'm pretty sure teachers don't allow you to go to your lockers after locker breaks and if you leave something in your backpack which is in your locker you might get in trouble by your next teacher.
So I was thinking you pick :
Tote bag <<make sure you transfer and make sure you get EVERYTHING you need so you wont forget anything.

or

Backpack << it's more safe but you still have to make sure you get the right books.

Hope this helps a little to make your decision (:
 
lockers arent as big as you think, honey.
I just started middle school this year and I had all these plans; yeah, well they start not to matter much when you've got a pile of homework every night and still are trying to balence friends, activities, family, ect.
I would choose the backpack, no tote at all. Plenty of my friends thought they were all cute and popular with there little American Eagle totes, but after the first week, they ALL converted to backpack.
and: you don't need a purse.
you are in middle school, are you still wearing bratz dress up makeup? and those heals that came with the princess costume?
puh-lease.
enjoy your last year of freedom and be a kid.
 
i use a tote, its a lot cuter than a backpack and they hold the same amount of stuff
 
im in highschool and i carry a big tote bag ,..i hate backpacks but i would recommend da tote bag but the only thing tho is tote bags hurt ur shoulders in u have alotta things to carryy
 
do what you wanted to do, your idea sounds good!
if i had lockers in my school i wouldve done the same thing,
but i dont, and we dont have alot of books to carry fortunatley.
:D hope i helped!
p.s. good luck in middle school!
 
Go with a backpack. Totes are a pain because you can not swing them over your shoulder. It also depends on how heavy your books are going to be.Do what ever you feel comfortable with doing or carrying.
 
Well, I have carried both (not at the same time).
In middle school and high school I just carried a backpack. I didn't like having to hold my books when I went to class and stuff. I would always stop by my locker as much as possible so I didn't have to carry a lot of books. I normally just got the books I needed for that class and then went back after class and got my other books I needed, etc.
When I started college, I started off with a backpack and then I got a tote bag. I have a Green Day tote bag that I used as a purse/backpack for a while. It's not too bad... if it's big enough (mine was kinda big) then you should be able to put your books in there and then you could also carry a few if you needed to. I wouldn't recommend having to carry books though because then your arms will get tired. I went back to a backpack though, because it was a hassle having to deal with the tote bag.
Now I just carry a normal purse and a backpack. I like the backpack better because I can put it on my back and on both shoulders and it's easier and not as heavy when I do that. When you have a tote bag, you have to just hold it on one shoulder which will hurt after a while if you carry a lot of books.
It's whatever you prefer though. If you want to carry both, then do it. I've seen people carry both and I don't think anything about it. It's not really any different than carrying a purse with your backpack. Who cares what other people think. If you want to just carry a backpack then you can turn your front pocket of your backpack into a purse and put your stuff in there. I've done that before when I didn't want to deal with my purse. If you want to carry just the tote bag then get one big enough to where you can put your books in and then just stop by your locker and put your books that you don't need in there and then get them when you do and swap them out, etc. You could also bring your backpack and just leave it in the locker until you go home and then get your backpack and put your books in there. It's whatever is easier for you.
 
well, i think you should just carry a tote bag. bring the back pack to school so you can bring books home easier. but a lot of girls at my school just carry that, just make sure you stop off at your locker or your gonna have to keep some in your bag and carry some hope i helped!!!
 
In all honesty, when i was in middle school I wish that I chose to carry a tote bag and a backpack at the same time, it would have been very helpful. So, I think that you are very bright in deciding to take both that way when you are at school your arm wont be hurting. lol. When you get to high school, you will most def be carrying both. Then once you get to college, its up to you to either bring a bag or a backpack. All the best to you!
