    When I was in middle school I was too lazy to go back to my locker between classes so I just carried a stack of 8 textbooks with me everywhere I went. If they had fit in my backpack I would have done that, too, but my family could only afford the cheap ones.

      I got a detention for using my backpack full of books as a lethal weapon. I have the English anthology in there and that’s a big book, it does some serious blood force trauma damage. It’s an awful book though.

      Apparently that started a trend so the school introduced a rule that said that all backpacks must be put in lockers at the start of each day. Which was stupid because the lockers weren’t big enough for that. So everyone was forced to carry their books to and from school by hand.

      I’m young enough to not have been allowed a backpack in grade school. My locker was in the opposite corner of the school and I would always be late if I went back to my locker, so I carried 7 binders with me everywhere…
