Backpacks For The Days Where You Need To Carry Everything

We all have those days where it seems like we need to bring everything with us. From a laptop to a change of clothes, to everyday essentials (I’m looking at you phone, wallet, and keys), some days we just need to be able to carry our lives on our backs. With a great backpack, you can do just that! Whether it’s a long drive, a particularly busy workday, or you’re living the life of a college student, a backpack that is sturdy and dependable should be a necessity for everyone. 

1. Vera Bradley Campus Backpack:

I have had a Vera Bradley Backpack for all four years of my college experience and I can only say great things and the Campus line of Vera Bradley backpacks has been my go-to choice for college life. I will say that my favorite Vera Bradley backpack is the black microfiber fabric. The main reasons I went with this style are simply that black goes with everything and it’s easy to clean and hide stains. I paid a little more for the classic black microfiber fabric and not a colorful print really just based on my personal style, but I also realized soon that the microfiber fabric is kind of water-resistant. So, that’s always a great bonus if you are willing to pay a little extra.
