I have to carry two of these around. The other two stay home.

Science, math, portuguese, french, chemistry/physics, english, geography and a weird class where we have to build stuff with wood and nails and use saws and shit like that. So it's about 2 books for each class (main book and excercise book) sooooooooooooo... 8x2=16 so i have about 16 books, each is about half as big as one of those and i usually need to take 4-8 books every day.

The history books are for the same class. One is for nightly reading and the other is for AP test studying.
It's a bitch.

There were some suggested textbooks for reference for each course but we mostly used the lecture notes provided by the instructors.
Honestly, I did not find a lot of them all that illuminating.
Uhh, I got seven of them: development of identity and studentguidance, the teacher's guidebook, practical research in schools, English phrasal verbs in use: advanced, expert proficiency coursebook, practical English usage, and study of language.
Words words words. Lots of words.

I feel bad for anyone who actually bought their books from the campus book store. Most books can be found online. Those that can't can be bought from Amazon (older edition) for 10% of the price of a new book.
It's also easier to carry around a laptop than it is to lug around different books which you probably won't actually use during class. Which reminds me... I feel sorry for anyone who buys the book before classes start. Many professors never even refer to the book. They are just required to select one because it's a good way for the school to make money.
Let's just say I developed quite the back muscles from carrying around tons of large books in my backpack all the time back when I was in university. There wasn't really any time to swap out books between classes, so it was pretty much carry all books for all classes needed that day for the entire day + walk all over campus to all my classes.
Scheduling was bad enough you pretty much just take whatever courses you needed that you could get, screw if it was "good/bad" timing. Because it was either that or miss out on classes that weren't offered every year but which you needed to graduate/etc...
That "freshman 15" is a myth as far as I'm concerned because instead of gaining weight, I lost weight from all of that.

because every textbook as an ebook version or pdf. I tried getting that for one of my books and couldn't find shit. I barely found one pdf for one of my books, but that was it.

you guys should see my Barnes and Noble Wishlist I have about a grands worth of books on there I want to get. not for college but just extra learning material that I can read and learn from. I don't know why people sell they're textbooks when they're done who knows when you might need them later on or just have to refresh yourself.
