Throughout the years of my education I have had many backpacks. The first backpack I ever had was lime green and it was from LLBean. This year is my senior year and will be my final year with my beloved backpack.
Last year I had a black and white Burton backpack but throughout the year it got dirty and worn out. It was a god backpack but it was also a little small and didn’t have many pockets. At the end of the school year I just threw it in my closet and forgot about it. When summer was coming to an end and I was getting my school supplies ready I realized that I needed a new backpack but there was only three days left before school started! Where was I going to get a backpack this close to the beginning of school? I looked online at LLBean and The North Face but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Another day went by and time was running out. It was the Sunday before school started and my mom was starting to get aggravated. She is always complaining about how immature I am because I wait till the last minute to get things done. My mom and I are very different people but I knew that I needed a backpack. At 9:30am on Sunday August 28 my mom handed me a hundred dollar bill and I set out to find a new backpack.
In my mind I knew exactly what I wanted because earlier that day I tried to get my sister to give me her old black North face backpack. Since she’s only a sophomore she could get a new one and use more than I would. Before I left the house I checked the internet one more time but I couldn’t find the perfect one. First I drove to the Simsbury commons and looked at EMS but I still couldn’t find anything. After I went to Starbucks and got a coffee, I knew this was going to be a long day. I made my way to Wal-Mart but while in the store I got distracted with looking at movies. I walked out of the store with The Notebook but no backpack. My next stop was the mall. I don’t know why I thought that was a good place to get a backpack but I went to Westfarms anyways. I arrived at Westfarms around 11:45 and started to think of stores that might have packbacks. I couldn’t think of any so I just decided to look in every story that I liked. I looked in Hollister, Gilly Hicks, even Brooks Brothers but I had no such luck finding a backpack. I did however find a lot of clothing! After about two hours of searching for a backpack I gave up. I was on my way home and an idea popped into my head! What about Dicks? Why had I not thought of this in the first place. I ran to my car and started to make my way to the Canton Shops. It took a little while but when I got there the man in the front told me where I could find the backpacks. I turned the corner and sitting right there on the self was the black Recon North face jacket. It was the exact one that I had wanted and just my luck, it was the last one left! It cost more than I had expected and since I had spent some, actually a lot, of my parent’s money on shopping so I had to chip in fifty dollars of my own money. I was worth it. This is perfect backpack, I couldn’t ask for anything better.
