Who else used to get so excited about shopping for backpacks?! Those were the days when all you needed to bring to school was a lunchbox and a homework folder. Now, my backpack has to fit textbooks, computer, binders, and basically my entire life.

When I was in elementary school, there was one distinct “it” backpack. I remember I didn’t even love the look of it, but it was all I wanted because everyone else had it. Now, I feel as though people care less about backpack brands which I love because after all, we all spend a lot of quality time with our backpack – you may as well love the way it looks!

My backpack is just a little destroyed due to junior year, so it is time for me to get a new one for this year. Here are my favorite backpacks for this year if you, too, are looking for a new backpack!
