Eh, I prefer totes. To me they just look better on women (to each their own ofc). I try and do one shoulder on the way to work and the other on the way home to get some even shouldering.

I have always been a purse person. About a month ago I gave in and bought a backpack. It’s beautiful, easy to manage, and my back is super happy. I’ve seen a transformation in just a month in how I feel!

I did a ton of research and ultimately landed on the Tumi Voyageur Calais bag. It’s big enough for all my crap but I don’t have to fill it all the way. I wasn’t sold on the side pockets at first, but I put my water bottle in one (now I can be eco friendly) and my sunglasses and headphones in the other and now I never forget either and have easy access to them! It looks super cute on me and I’m so happy with my purchase. I bought on Amazon bc it was on sale and easier than finding a store.

I would love to use backpack but the one provided by the company messes the back of my slacks when i have the backpack on. The back of my slacks (just above the butt area) pills because of the rubbing of the backpack with the slacks. Any suggestion what backpack brand to use that does not cause this?

Old person here. I personally do not like backpacks. I have always used a tote. No back problems

Re: internship programs in media, what are pros/cons to holistic (planning, buying, strat, ad ops) programs, versus having an intern hone in on one of those specific territories?

Do internships count towards years of experience? I held my first design internship in 12th grade (2016), and have since held at least one internship per semester throughout college, all related to my career path - but they were all part time. In my last semester of college (May 2020 grad), I worked as a full time contractor for 18mos. I freelanced after, before working as an FTE the past year.

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?

Thanks in advance!
