From big bags to small bags and everything in between, did you know a bag reflects more than it seems?
Just like your horoscope, your go-to uni bag has the magical ability to reflect your personality. Want to know what your bag says about you? Read on to find out!
Handbags/shoulder bags
If your go-to is a handbag or shoulder bag you’re probably a fashion icon strutting down T-junction. It might have taken you 3 months and hours scrolling on TikTok to narrow down what’s your dream uni bag but it was worth it. You’re THE ball of sunshine in your class and your handbag stores everything from laptops to an insane spread of snacks to share with your seatmates. In your free time, you love going for yoga, barre, pilates, or maybe all three (did you know SMU Fitnessworks has weekly classes you can join?). Your go-to outfits to school are always athleisure or cute casual. Special shoutout to those who carry the Longchamp Le Pliage, you probably have a hibiscus claw clip sitting on your bag strap and have an unhealthy obsession with matcha or bubble tea.
Backpacks
If your uni bag is a backpack, you’re probably the cool, calm and collected kid. You’re sticking with a bag you know, something that hasn’t failed you since your early school days–except now you’re much cooler. But don’t let the cool looks fool you, you’re probably the most hardworking person your friends know! Your favourite study spots are the Kwa Geok Choo Law Library or booking out your very own study pod. You spend your free time checking out all the new cafes and your friends go to you for all the latest recommendations. Special mention if your go-to bag is a gym or duffel bag. You’re probably juggling both university and your side hustle. You have places to be and things to do right after class like catching a workout or clocking in for your part-time job.
Tote Bags
If you’re a tote bag user, your tote bags are either aesthetic prints from independent artists or free tote bags from SMU or other events, with no in-between. Regardless, tote bag users are the creative, free-spirited friends that everyone needs. Your positive energy is infectious and you can put a smile on anyone’s face. Your favourite pastimes are probably heading to local art and music events or hanging out at independent bookstores. Did you know there’s an independent Korean bookstore called Bommoi Bookstore just across from Yong Pung How School of Law? This bookstore is the perfect tranquil haven to bury yourself into your next read. You’re also probably an active member of your community, be it helping out for camps like Freshmen Orientation or planning super cool events like upcoming Valentine-themed workshops for your club(s).
Messenger Bags
If you carry a messenger bag, organisation is your top priority and you know where everything is at all times. You’re usually the one taking charge and keeping everyone on track during group projects, thanks to your excellent planning skills. You are an ambitious person when it comes to your studies and your pleasures, always aiming for the best. You possess an entrepreneurial flair that comes naturally and you’re always thinking about the next big idea. Your favourite pastime is probably playing sports with your friends or setting yourself up to be a new business owner.
Your bag is an important asset in every university student’s life not only to carry all the essentials you’ll need to survive the semester, but also a reflection of your individuality that you carry–literally. So next time you’re walking around campus, take a second to look at all the unique bags of your fellow students, who knows you might learn a quirk or two about them!
