Review on Medium Sized HotStyle BESTIE Tote Backpack, 12 Liters Capacity by Dexter Pullen

This is a great bag so far. I'm a college student so I don't carry too much on a daily basis as my classes are just a short bus ride away where I'll attend one or two classes a day but I also go to work and carry some extra stuff in it to keep me busy.Some examples of what I usually carry:- Two notebooks with around 70 pages each- Pencil pouch- Art Supplies pouch (with copic markers and various pencils in it)- A Canson or Strathmore sketchbook with about 70-100 pages- Phone charger- Key with chains- and sometimes a bottle of water but I'll usually hold that- I also carry a thin wallet from time to timeSo it's not a lot and I can say that it's comfortable on my back! It's comparable to Jansport backpacks and I love those as they have been my staple bags for the last two years of school for me and have used them years before too. But they can be so plain which is boring. This brings me to the next pro!I love the design of this bag. It's subtle but pretty. I also love the top and how it attaches in some form of handbag too. I don't carry it like this often so I can't vouch for that part of the bag but I use it as a security measure in that it's hard to pull anything out with it closed.It also has pockets on the side that I was able to put pencils and pens in. They do not zip close. They can also hold a regular sized water bottle.Ok my favorite part of this bag? The back compartment! It's like a small zipper on the back that would probably go unnoticed. I put change and dolla bills in there haha. It's a great way for me to carry a little cash around with having to carry my wallet that holds a lot of important stuff in it.The inside of this bag also has a compartment for a laptop or a tablet. I don't use this because my laptop is rather heavy so I wouldn't want to carry it around but with a 15.6 inch laptop, I think it might be a bit snug and with a case? I don't think it can fit in. But my laptop isn't thin so I'm at a disadvantage there. It's also rather old and best to stay in one place and not rattled everywhere but if you have a MacBook or those new super thin laptops you should be fine.There's also a smaller part right in front of the laptop compartment for electronics like your phone and music devices. I slip my phone in the front pocket most of the time but I put my little mp3 in there. :)I love this bag and I'm excited to make it my companion for my next school semester as well!Disclaimer: I received this bag for fee win exchange for my honest and unbiased review. No I was not coerced to write this review nor paid. I'm just a college student trying it out and honestly giving my opinion of it!
