I've got a Chrome Citizen. The bag is absolutely rock solid, but I wouldn't want to carry more than a 5 to 8 pound load in it for an hour of riding.

Your load looks to be far more than 5 to 8 pounds:
  • textbook
  • small book
  • notebook
  • gym clothes
  • regular change of clothes
  • an extra jacket
  • lunch
  • quick errands
  • My helmet
  • wherever else

I don't even think that the Citizen has enough volume to carry that much stuff. I think your load calls for more of a Metropolis sized bag.
