Dang. I thought it was just my imagination that my backpack for college was heavy with the 6 books for my 4 classes and my laptop but it wasn't. I weighed it and it came in at over 40 pounds. No wonder my back'* been killing me. anyone else weigh their bags before? ha.

I carry as little as possible.

i have all my classes tues and thurs 8 am till 3:15 with NO breaks inbetween.....5 classes worth of Big *** books, folders, and paper, and i also carry my laptop around all day

bet my bag weighs around if not more that 40lbs

I'm with you, I opt for more trips back and forth and less weight each time.

I keep it lite and put all my stuff in the trunk of the crown vic

the most I have is 2 classes in a row, so only 2 books, and 2 spirals. I doubt it weighs all that much. 15-20 lbs. Although my classes are a good bit over a 1/4 mile from the dorms

my books in previous semesters used to be big now they are all kinda small

Since we are talkin about college books. Did anyone end up paying a lot for books I know I did :(

I spent $500 on books for 4 classes...

Depends on how you define alot. I spent less than I thought I would but it still was a lot.
