Is the tote bag aesthetic worth the shoulder pain?
I’m an incoming College student torn between using a tote bag or a backpack. I love the tote bag aesthetic, but my daily load includes a laptop/iPad, notebooks, and a heavy water bottle. Plus, I have a 30-minute commute via train/bus.
I’m worried a tote will kill my shoulder after a week, but a backpack is a hassle to constantly move to the front for safety while commuting. A tote seems easier to keep an eye on, but is it worth the back pain?
To the seniors: Is a tote bag actually realistic for a heavy workload and commuting, or should I just stick to a backpack for comfort? I'm even considering using both. What’s the most practical setup?
