Bags galore

For as long as I can remember, my mom has always called me the bag lady. I don’t really know how the obsession started, but I own a bag for every occasion. It was difficult for me to decide what bags I was going to bring with me to college, and even though I narrowed down my selection I still think that I brought too many.

1. Duffel/Suitcase
A duffel or suitcase is perfect for weekend trips or when your packing to go home for breaks. If you are worried about keeping your clothes wrinkle free, I would suggest bringing a suitcase over a duffel. The only thing that you have to remember with a suitcase is that you need to be able to store it somewhere.
2. Backpack
This should be an obvious one, but you will need a backpack for school. I recommend finding one that is going to be able to hold all of your textbooks, your laptop, and anything else that you will need to carry around. Your backpack is also great for putting clothes in for an overnight trip, or carrying stuff around during a trip to the city.

3. Crossbody
I brought two of these with me to school, one big one and one that only holds cards and a phone. For me, crossbody purses are a must. I love that they are not too big and usually when I wear one I barely notice that I have it on. I brought different sizes because I try not to carry too much around with me when I go out, but sometimes you need a little more room for all your stuff.

4. Wristlet
Just like how I brought two crossbody purses, I also brought two wristlets. One of them is a mini wristlet that only has a couple of places for cards and a place to keep your coins. This is the wristlet that I carry around with me at school all the time. It is really useful to keep my keys on it, as well as my school I.D. If you have to use your I.D. for basically everything at your school, like I do, I would highly recommend using a wristlet or a lanyard. The other wristlet that I have is a regular size wristlet that I am able to put my cards, keys, coins, and any other little knick-knacks that I need to carry around in.

5. Cosmetic Toiletry Bags
These are perfect for keeping all of your toiletries organized for the bathroom. It is also good to keep these around for when it’s that time of the month and you need to carry your products around in your backpack. I ordered a set of 4 toiletry bags that come in different sizes. Besides my feminine products, I also store my medicine, and ponytails in these bags.
Hopefully this gives you all a good idea of the bags that you will need for college!
