My backpack contains the entire store of Staples. Pencils (black and blue), pens (regular and mechanical), lead, paper, erasers, highlighters, sharpies, post-its, calculators, index cards, tape, glue, memory sticks, and a mini stapler are all scattered throughout my bag. These are just accessories. When it comes to my actual school classes, I have extra things to bring depending on the class and what I’ll be doing that day. Calculus requires pencils, erasers, a calculator and my notebook. Second period gym requires a change of clothes and sometimes a pair of sneakers if I’m not wearing them that day already. My third period AP Euro class gives me the most trouble. For that class I have an enormous orange binder that weighs more than all my other notebooks combined. My fourth and fifth period classes, Forensics and Italian IV both share one big notebook because I don’t really do a lot of note taking and writing in those subjects. My English class is the last period of the day. For this class I don’t have a notebook. I normally need my laptop and the current book that my class is reading. Occasionally I need a piece of paper but other than that English is my least “heavy” subject. I definitely think that the weight of each thing in my bag correlates to their importance. AP Euro is the heaviest and that is my hardest class with the most work. Forensics and Italian do not require many supplies and those are my two easiest classes. Most of the work is on my laptop, especially for Forensics, and my Italian class consists of talking in Italian for the whole period. Even though my backpack is pretty heavy, weighing in at approximately 20 pounds, the intangible things that I carry weigh much more. The pressure from my parents and myself to do well is overwhelming.
