You know, like a first or second grader would wear. High School seniors are flocking to store shelves to find their favorite bags to stuff with their books during the 2023-2024 school year. They're doing it for nostalgia purposes and I think it's brilliant. This got me thinking back to the first backpack I ever had. I would've obviously been in first grade which would've been in 1992 or 1993. If I remember correctly it was a Jurassic Park backpack because the movie was about to come out which terrified me. I think it was a black backpack with a T-Rex and other dinosaurs on it. The students are also doing this to show how far they've come and they're treating it like a celebration. Check out a couple of the TikToks that explain why these are the trendy high school backpacks for the school year below!
