Sure could. Let your imagination run wild.

For one books are essential (never attempt HSC without some sort of book)

Pens don't go astray either.

Then there's my fleshlight, which I take everywhere (obviously)

way too heavy, lol... on wednesday i have four subjects, all of which have a workbook and textbook. my ancient history is a folder with 56 thick handouts, so heavy... and i freeze my drink bottle so that's heavy too. i developed a scoliosis in my back a couple of years ago, and i'm pretty sure too many textbooks are partly to blame :p

on an average day my bag would weigh around 4kg but it could go as heavy as 7kg on some days.

my bags so big and heavy, i think its making me shrink (Y)
even when my bags doesnt have much in it, its still pretty darn heavy for some reason? but so much easier than a folder cos i just chuck everything in it.

why dont you guys leave your shit at home if its too heavy
I don't take stuff out of my bags so that I don't forget to put it back in.
It only gets used at school.
Never touch it at home.
It just sits on the floor waiting for the next day of schooling.

my heaviest days are wednesdays.

double extension history - three small texts, a book, my log, and anything ive written or want to show, and a clear sleeved folder

maths - text book, book, and clear sleeved folder

english advanced - small folder thing. hole punch and resources.

modern history or ancient depending on the week - books, about 3 texts, and two clear sleeved folders for each

society and culture - text, book, folder, and various pip stuff

double extension english with ex2 meeting for a following hour - 2 folders, a diary and art book, and various texts.



i am ridiculously organised and obsessive about it, but i doubt my bags any heavier than 6 or 7 kilos on wednesday. i carry alot of it by hand if its bothering me.
and, after tommorow ill have a car (possibly best birthday present ever for a hsc kid) so most of my stuff will be dumped there and gathered as required

I hadn't thought of that.

Mind you today it doesn't feel so heavy.
But.
I haven't taken anything out or put anything in.
How does that work?

wait...you take everything home and then back to school again even if you don't use any of it at home??!?!?!?
WHY???? (and also, shouldn't you be doing some homework?)
That is what lockers are for, and a school that doesn't provide lockers for yr 12 kids isn't worth going to!!!!

I have back problems so I can't put a lot in my bag so I tend to only take the crucial things home.
