When i was in school 1st and 2nd year, I always left my bag everywhere...not forgetfully, but deliberately... in the library mostly. Obviously whenever i left i brought along with me my "valuables" i.e. cell phone, wallet, walkman...but i always just left my bag..sometimes for like 4 hours (when i went workout or go to class and didn't want to carry my bags around)

...not until sometime couple of months ago, my friend told me she left her bag at the library once..for like just 5 minutes..and her whole bag was. GONE.
i was like "OMG"..even though there was nothing fancy about the bag (just a plain 'ol jansport), and she didn't leave any valuables in there (unless you call textbooks "valuable")...
she said the person just took the whole bag and..took off...during THE DAY..when THERE WERE PEOPLE everywhere studying.
i was so shocked.
completely and utterly...shocked.

From then on...whenever i left my bag to go to the bathroom, i would run...and try to get back to my spot ASAP. I have this fear of someone taking my bag.yoga bag. HAHA.
As a result, i've been lugging my heavy-butt bag everywhere around campus, causing back pains, leg pains, head pains, arm pains. pain in the buttttt.

What's the freakiest thing...is that people can actually take your bag so easily, i just realized that nobody around you studying would care, they'd just assume you were a friend who's taking your bag if you just acted 'naturally' and grabbed it as if it were yours.
*shivers* reminds me of..amber tamblyn on PUNK'D..SO funny.
