Luggage or Backpack?
I guess I've been in a good mood this past month, hence the lack of postings. I guess I couldn't have posted a rant about not having anything to rant about, but that just seemed pathetic and I decided to leave well enough alone. That may be the first time I've ever used that cliche and I hope I worded that correctly.
Ok now here is my beef. After walking around campus I've begun to notice a lot of people, mostly petite girls, who seem to choose to not use a (traditional) backpack or large tote and instead opt for a what looks like a backpack with wheels and a retractable handle. They then proceed to wheel it behind them as if they're headed for a flight as opposed to class. Honestly, what could one possibly be bringing to school on a daily basis that one can't carry their backpack on their back, as the name suggests, like a normal student. Multiple changes of clothes and a pup tent for a weeklong stake out in the library? Concrete blocks you've composed for some engineering project? Or maybe its your 7 course lunch that you decide to bring to class to fill the air with whatever nauseating fish dish you made the night before.
My best guess is that these are the people who bring every text book they have for the term to school each day, even if they don't have some classes, just on the off chance the prof refers to some example in the text. Ever heard of making a note to check said example later? Sure I may always forget to look at the example, but thats because I could care less.
In all actuality it isn't the studious nature of the luggage-student that bothers me, its the fact that my impatientness and chivalrous traits come into constant conflict whenever I'm around them, especially in the frigid days of winter. I will always hold the door if I see a girl coming up behind me. But now I'm left to stand in the cold for an extra minute as the person fumbles with their pack trying to get the wheels to turn in the snow and getting the pack through without the door closing. Sometimes I've arrived at an entryway only to find someone struggling to get through and causing a logjam of people. If you're weak enough that you can't carry your damn backpack then I say your eligible to use the handicapped button. Being as studious as you are I would've thought that you'd figure it out but I guess not. So either embrace your handicappedness or plan for each day like the rest of the normies and bring to school only what is needed.
