Your backpack serves a functional purpose - the technical term is schlepping - but it’s also about aesthetics. Your backpack is the centerpiece of your school style for the entire year, so choose wisely. Are you a classic Jansport? A trendy Fjallraven? Will you buck backpack convention and opt for a messenger bag? The options are as endless as your thirst for knowledge.Water Bottle

Lucky for all you Type A’s, Moleskine is offering the best of both worlds with their new launch: a paper planner that automatically syncs with Google Calendar and Apple iCal.The ‘Just-in-Case’
