backpack chic

i've wanted to write about this for ages. almost daily as i walk from my car to my office, i see students milling around on their way to class and i ponder why they all want to wear their packs halfway down their backs. don't they realize how much strain that puts on their backs? don't they realize how ridiculous it looks? SERIOUSLY when your big ass backpack is hanging down past your ass, don't you think you might want to reevaluate not only that fashion choice, but the physical issues here?
