ROlly Backpacks

Rolly backpacks used to be the cool thing back when I was in middle school. They do save one's back from having to carry also those heavy books, but that is not what they did best. All they did was annoy people. All the little kids at school had them and they are so hyper and when they run around like chickens with their heads cut off it gets in the way of everyone else. They block all the stairways because they always fall off the right track and then everyone is in a traffic jam on the stairs. Kids never know where their backpack is going to end up when they are running full speed so that leaves me to jump out of the way and stop myself from tripping and breaking something. Rolly backpacks made me angry and annoyed by all the kids that used them because it made everything that i did before or after school that much harder.

Buono, I completely agree. From first through fifth grade, my parents forced the rolly backpack upon me. Obviously the cool kids never came closer than 100 feet from the nerd-i-licious backpacks, but I was far from one of them and therefore I was doomed. Looking back on it, my parents were right not to let me have a normal over-the-shoulder backpack since my body probably would not have been able to support the weight. Damn skinny legs of mine. I propose that one day, very randomly, all contemporary fiction students just show up with rolly backpacks pretending like its no big deal, preferably with obnoxious looking and sounding key chains. Who knows, maybe we will start a new trend at Sacred Heart or then again, we might just look like a huge bunch of idiots.
