depends on how much you need to carry around..

That depends. For a messenger back, carrying everything can be very taxing on your shoulders. Personally, I don’t use my locker because it’s just another place for me to forget homework or lose pencils. I keep everything in my book bag (it doesn’t help that my locker is always in an inconvenient place).

If you are going to carry your things with you everywhere, especially if it’s a heavy load in a literal sense, I suggest you invest in a two-strap backpack where the weight is divided between both shoulders instead of one. That way it doesn’t cause as much problems in the future. You could also always carry some of the heavier items in your hands…

My overall advice: skip the locker.

When I was in Middle School, I HAD to put my backpack in my locker, and I hated it very much. But, in High School you don’t have too so I carry everything with me and it’s much better! I don’t even use my locker because with my luck I’d prob leave something very important for a class in there. And teachers get so angry when you forget anything you need. So, from someone who’s been through both situations; Carry your bag :] It’s not as grusome as people say it is because you eventually get use to the load. I don’t know what grade your going in, but if your going into a grade where you’ll get many huge textbooks, I’d find out if you need it every time you go into the class for it. Because last school year I had textbooks I needed every class, and textbooks I just needed when the teachers said bring them in next class. And it just lightens you load just by not carrying around one that you don’t need.

It depends on how far away your classes are from your locker, and how much time you have to get to class.

I have 5 minutes in between classes, but my locker is on the other end of the school so I carry my backpack with me to my first 3 classes then I change them out after lunch. I like to socialize with my friends, so working with this little schedule of changes lets me talk with my friends for a majority of the 5 minutes.

Its good to be able to carry every thing you need from one class to another unless your locker is very close to your classroom. do you have a lock on your locker? I assume you do, that might be a issue,if not. also, you don’t have long between class periods to go back and forthi f classes are very far apart .so, I think I would rather carry it with me.

well i carry my schoolbag around from class to class because our lockers really suck. I dont think anyones bag fits in our lockers. Plus, you can easily break into ppls lockers

You dont even carry it, Half the time its on the floor next to your chair.

I continually theory the messenger luggage have been extra stylish, yet after alongside year of wearing books i had substantial shoulder discomfort. Get a regular backpack because of the fact it shifts the load and it is extra effective for you. i admire the LL beans.

Carry it around if you’re allowed to in your school. That’s what I do because it’s much more beneficial to not have to go to my locker to get what I need because I’ll have it with me.

Does it matter? most people leave them in their locker, but do what you want.
