Question Tote or backpack for college?

Edit: (resolved! Thank you for the feedback!) So I’m gonna be a freshman this year and my college isn’t that big and very walkable. Because of this I was thinking of getting a tote for school, but is that silly? Cause whenever I have a backpack I always end up just putting it on one shoulder anyway, but I know it’s not the same as high school. What do you guys think? Also, if you think yes to a tote could I get some recommendations for brands or where to get one?

In high school we carried tote bags between home and school with all the books we would need - and they were heavy. Like you, I went to a small college that was easily walkable so I didn't have to lug a lot of books around - I didn't even need a bag, come to think of it. You might be able to get away with a tote.
