With a new year has come a new wave of special, funky-looking backpacks. Worn by seniors to show their individuality, it is a way for the fourth-year students to stand out in the hallways. In a building filled with North Face and L.L. Bean carryalls, many seniors choose to wear these distinct bags to sport their uniqueness to the rest of the student body.
These backpacks feature everything from interesting designs and colors to pictures of the students’ favorite childhood animated characters. The top five of the many peculiar backpacks are displayed below.
