This bag is a perfect size!! I'm a senior in undergrad and I needed something that could carry my books, laptop, snacks, drinks, etc. Before I purchased it I was a little skeptical, but once I did my own research and saw the amount of positive reviews I decided to purchase it. I love it and I'm excited about making it my everyday bag. I tell you no lie when I say you will be 100% satisfied. I love the khaki color because it's so versatile, but if my budget would have allowed me I would have definitely gotten the waxed. Also, the bag looked much more appealing when it arrived. The color is a true khaki, the dark brown leather straps are thick and sturdy, and the gold buckles are a stylish accent. This bag is worth it.
