I would narrow the choices down between a tote bag and a backpack. Messenger bags are cool, but with all of the weight in the bag that hangs really low can be bad for your health over time. Tote bags are cute because they hold a bunch of stuff and have pretty designs.
Backpacks are cool because they also come in fun prints (vera bradley?!) and they distribute the weight of whats in the bag so it won't hurt your back!
It depends on how much you're going to bring to school. If you are bringing a lot of books, you might consider buying a backpack. Pick a color that is easy to color coordinate with your clothes (dark colors work well, plus they don't show dirt easily).
A weatherproof bag will protect your things from getting wet. If you have the budget, pick one that is made of durable materials. It will save you money in the long run.
Happy hunting!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
