i’ve been using a small sling bag for the past year and always end up with my hands and pockets full of the overflow that won’t fit in my attempted minimalist approach to storage. i recently bought a fairly oversized satchel and it’s markedly improved my day to day life. i can bring my books AND water bottle AND notebook AND camera AND ongoing collection of sentimental bottle-caps AND i have a place to put the pomelo i bought on my walk AND the jacket i might want for later on AND my hands are now free for high-fives or dancing or putting more things in my huge bag!
