my tuesday afternoons are absolutely hectic (actually, all of tuesdays in general, but tuesday afternoons specifically. i'm not home from 3-roughly 11)I was amused at just how well this backpack expanded to hold everything. one 1.5" binder, a laptop, charger, granola, banana, water bottle, and a whole thing of art supplies, and i think a book was thrown in too, for reading if it got slow at work.)
