How I pack my travel bag

So, a while ago, during one of my trips home from school, I said that I would show you how I pack my bag when I'm traveling. Well, here it goes!!!


First, let it be noted that on this trip I would be flying US Airways due to the fact that I had an $100 credit with them. I really would have rather flown JetBlue, but this was $100. Unfortunately, this meant I could not check a bag (because I refused to pay their fee). So, I was left to be creative, as usual. 


This pictures were taken on the return leg of my trip home from Spring Break, mainly during the unpacking process. 


This is my bag (taken just now). It used to be my backpack for school, but then I decided that I didn't need a backpack for High School anymore. 

Isn't it amazing?

Anyway, on to the good stuff. First things first is usually always the heaviest single item, which tends to be my laptop power cord. 

Coiled neatly on the bottom

Then come the socks

Boxers

Pants

And finally, some shirts, my toothbrush, and my headphones!

Additionally, my personal items all go into that mesh pocket you see on the bottom. My headphones are always on top, because I need them to be easily accessible during my trip.


Oh, and in case you're wondering, I carry my laptop. Always. Ever since I've gotten my MacBook, I've never put it into the bag. 


Additionally, not pictured: on the side pockets go my phone charger and other cords, and in the front pocket goes copies of relevant paperwork. 

Oh, and in the top pocket: two extra cell phones, some zip ties, and my iPod charger
