bio textbook
2 average size paperbacks
3 rockstars
toiletries
extra shirt and underwear
spare jacket
spare gloves
co2 inflator
spare tube
patch kit
multi tool
15 mm wrench
large bag of chips
this would last me for 2-3 days on campus without having to go home and running off of 2 hours of sleep. the bag was completely stuffed and weighed around 30 pounds. i probably couldn't have walked more than 100 yards with it but biking was only a little bit harder than usual.
bottom line: you can live out of a large bag if you need to but it's hard to walk in.
DUDE?
do you live at the library or seomthing? i can't imagine staying on campus for 2-3 days. OMG is that what graduate student life is like?
