This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Eh, 1 mile is pretty far when carrying a heavy backpack. If it's free, I'd take the bus.

Wtf kind of school are you going to if you have a heavy packback? Unless you are taking welding equipment to school or something you really don't need much at all. School backpacks are usually pretty small.

Ever heard of textbooks? They tend to be quite heavy in my experience.

Sure its more than a few sheets of paper but a textbook is nothing compared to tent, sleeping bag, stove, fuel, water, food. Which is perfectly normal stuff that someone can pack into a bag and walk over 10 miles with.

Pfft. When I was young, I had to walk to TWO schools while carrying TWO heavy backpacks. The bus wasn't free because buses were still feral vehicles that tried to kill us on our way to school.

Did you also have to walk up hill both ways?
