Reflected
Living in fear in the year of the tiger.
Just get a satchel, carrying a bookbag just feels too childish, imo. But we are talking about different settings, I carry a bag for school because I have literal books and heavy stuff in there, but for what you are getting at, a satchel is best, especially if you go out and about like that.I carry my laptop, tablet and lotion and wallet.
Chapstick goes in my front pockets along with my keys and phone.
I keep the back free for my pocket knife
It sounds like ya'll are carrying a purse if I'm being honest.
