What's a good backpack I can fit my macbook in?

GUYS, what do you have in your backpack.?

• Tital says it all. I'm leaving for college in a couple months. I just bought a swissgear backpack, and this back can fit ALOT so don't be afraid to leave a list. Besides school supplies and a macbook I'm wondering what I should have in my backpack since I'm a guy. I always like to be prepared for anything so I'm wondering what else I should have in my pack, weight is not an issue so please tell me what you guys have in yours. LONGEST AND MOST DETAILED ANSWER GETS BEST ANSWER! Thanks

• Answer:

  I hope you do not mind me answering this questions since I am a woman. I am a college junior and don't worry. I do not bring "girly things with me to college" (I am in college and not going to a beauty pageant meaning I do NOT carry a makeup bag the size of a department store). *backpack cover in case it starts to rain and it protects my pack from water (some Swiss Gear packs come witih a backpack cover) *compact umbrella (it always rains when you least expect it) *2 flashdrives *usual pen/pencils/hi-lighter *calculator (whatever model you choose) *charger for your iPhone or cellphone *tiny swiss army knife (mine comes with scissors which is what I use it for) *sharpie *mini LED flashlight (the power went out in my building during class and the place was PITCH dark even with the emergency lights on. I was also stuck in an elevator.) *snacks (cookies, beef jerkey, you never know when you will be stuck in school and you are hungry and have no money on hand) *mini stapler (this is invaluable. You can find a black miniature stapler by Paper Pro at Office Max for $4. It's thin and can slip in one of your organizational pockets easily https://offers.rebateplus.com/images/imagereflect.php?imgtype=jpeg&quality=90&decay=35&reflect=1&thumbsize=142&square=0&src=rebateimages/period135/8raJuly.png) *small note pad, post-it-note(in case you need to jot down something really fast but don't want to take out your huge notebook) *put aside some crappy pens and pencils so you can give those who forget to bring theirs (I HATE giving my good pens/pencils because I never get them back and I have a thing about people using my good stuff too. If they keep my crappy pens/pencils, it is no big deal to me.) *tissues (you may have a cold or sinuses) *hand sanitizer (you can find one at Walmart for around $1...small size that will easily fit in your pack) *water bottle (I use a Camelbak because they do not make your water taste funny) *paperclips, rubber bands (I put those in a small zip lock) *white-out pen (at Walmart they are around $4 for 2)http://www.concordsupplies.com/_webcache/bicwosqpp418_1_1.jpg *earphones/earbuds (sometimes you just want to drown out the sounds around you and listen to your music...or if you have to hear a lecture online at the computer lab, you can without disturbing your neighbors around you) *usual cords and accessories for your laptop (you know which ones)
