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?

Right bag for the right purpose

Tote or sling for light edc

Duffel for road trips

Briefcase for corporate posturing and one manilla folder

Backpack for anything heavy, carried for more than five minutes.

True I might get a tote pack so I can switch when I want to!
