Packing Square Loadout

I recently purchased a set of the Travelon Packing Squares and wanted to reconfigure my loadout for school. Awhile back I switched from carrying a 40L GORUCK GR2 to their 10L Bullet ruck in an attempt to explore a type of minimalism (compared to what I was carrying before). Their GR1 would probably better suit my needs, but for now the Bullet ruck is (no doubt) holding up. I couldn’t believe all the stuff that fits in here once I had it all laid out. Fully loaded the pack weighs 12 lbs. I walk a mile to classes every day with it and barely notice it there. Late May through September/October the rain jacket gets switched out for a 3L Source hydration bladder.
