I remember my brother telling me two weeks ago that *insert whoever* officers in his school wanted to punish him for carrying a bag pack, and he refused (slow clap). I didn’t say anything, but on my mind, I was: WTF. WTF. How come there is a policy like that?
In my University, we have the thing called ACADEMIC FREEDOM. We wear what we want to wear, talk as loud as we want and do everything that what we want to do inside the school premises but still abide with the rules.
But I was dumbfounded by that issue.
I don’t know about other UP Campuses but, in my four years in the University, never did I see a man carrying a hand bag going to his classes. I only see men with big bag packs roaming around the school, the Jansport Bag society in UPB, they say.
Think about it, you go to a University carrying a handbag that can only accommodate a pencil and a notebook, sometimes, plus a wallet. How do these men study?
For me, it is not cool, it was never cool. How come someone goes in his class having only that handbag that even a toddler can carry? If it’s for his convenience’ sake, no, no. Still no.
Again, in my University, men prefer bag packs because of a bigger space for the things they need in school, because they carry with them their laptops (for research purposes) and notebooks (for taking notes), and it is much cooler than carrying a rectangular cloth or leather with nothing to have but small.. *NVM
But my brother bought a bag closely similar to the hand bag for compliance purposes, and it is a little bigger than the hand bag and it has a strap.
Good job bro, good job. Don’t let them punish you. Provide me the memorandum of your school REQUIRING ALL MEN STUDENTS to carry a hand bag rather than a bag pack, and, I’ll buy you three if they really have. But WTF and WTH.
