this ask is to all the commuting college students: how do you keep your backpack average sized? I feel like no matter how much I cut back and how minimal it is, my backpack is still huge and I feel like those memes about freshmen. do I just need a smaller backpack? all I take are my laptop, a tiny pencil case, a folder, occasionally a Tupperware with lunch, and earmuffs or an umbrella depending on the weather.
