running would be so much more awkward with a messenger bag

i have a suitcase, actually it is fabric, really it is my laptop bag.  but i carry it around because i got used to it and i feel childish and stupid with a trunk hanging over my clothes and back from two giant straps.

Messenger bags are bad for your back.

This.

A bottle of lysterine broke in my backpack a couple of years ago, so I was essentially forced to use a messenger bag until I bought a new backpack.  My shoulders and back would ache if I had to walk for long distances with it.  I would never use that thing if I had a choice.

My messenger bag has a really good strap so I don't even have any discomfort. In fact I always had my shoulders hurt more from a traditional backpack

Yeah, my messenger back is HUGE, and its strap usually coils up and digs into my shoulder.  I always wondered whether a new bag would ease my discomfort.  My guess is it probably would.

But I still love my backpack and wouldn't give it up for the world.

Doesn't matter how good the strap is. It's bad for your back because it puts all of the weight on one side of your body and throws your spine off balance.

More importantly you look like a

Messenger bags are disgusting.

I got a messenger bag and used it for these like last two years of high school, but I'll probably switch to backpack soon. It's not as comfortable as I expected and it doesn't contain textbooks very well.

Also hair was a factor, as there's fewer complications with only one strap. Do most long-haired girls, when wearing a backpack, keep their hair under or over the bag? It seems less comfortable but easier to wear/remove in the former case and, in the latter case, the hair might mess up a bit when I put on the bag and over half the bag would be covered by my hair

Backpack.

[piano moths]

when I had long hair I put it over my backpack, I think. It seems like it would be uncomfortable between your back & backpack

[just1more]

Neither. I carry my books LIKE A MAN.

Or a douchey high school quarterback.

[Samus Aran]

i use neither these days, at least for school

but in general i certainly prefer a backpack
