It's back to school time, and we all know what that means. Lugging your books, tablets, phones, laptops, pens, pencils, cables, folders, water bottle, and papers from one end of campus to the other. Who's brilliant idea was it to have Calculus in Thompson Hall while Chem is all the way over in D5? That's almost a mile, through the quad where there's almost always some kinda student-action protest thing, plus, it's raining!
Campus life can suck, but when you've got a load strapped haphazardly to your back in driving rain, and you've got a long way to go to make it to your next lecture. Your books are heavy enough, but your stupid backpack weighs a ton just by itself. In the name of comfort and durability, the designers put heavy foam, rivets, and carabiner loops everywhere. You've got half a mind to chuck it into the lake and watch the ducks paddle lazily around the bubbles.
It doesn't have to be that bad. ThinkGeek, in a never-ending quest to find the perfect backpack, found this monster lurking about with photographers. It's huge - capable of carrying a 17" laptop with accessories, a library's worth of books, and every piece of portable electronics you own. It's got a transforming interior, giving you two huge chambers for carrying your stuff, or one gargantuan space big enough to store a flux capacitor, three soccer balls, or a small child (don't carry a small child in this bag, duh).
It comes with padded compartments for camera equipment, which is great, but they're easily removable if you don't need 6 little foam compartments.
To wrap it all up, literally, we've thrown in a large water-proof cover so you can make it across campus in the driving rain without soaking your composition book. Bonus!
