A College Series // School Supplies // Vol. 12

The world is a crazy place right now and back to school season is upon us except we have no idea what this fall is going to look like. Whether school is online or in person for you I am rounding up my favorite school supplies I have been using for the last 3 years of college. Be sure to head over to Shannon’s blog for her favorite school supplies.

In college the key to staying sane is staying organized. I do this by using a planner, I love my Lilly Pulitzer one. I have a blog post all about it here.

Next I use theses folders that have a clear pocket on the outside. I use one per class. This way I have the sylubiss and the topical outline always in front of me. I find this helpful because it keeps all the important dates in front of my and in another place Besides my planner. I use my computer to take notes but then I prefer studying from printed out notes. So after each class I put my notes in that classes folder! I also make sure to have an extra notebook on me for all classes incase I need to write or draw anything that I can’t do as I type notes.

Pens and Pencils:

I could spend hours in the pens section of Staples. I have probably tried more then half of the pens that they sell but these 3 are my favorites these days:

Sharpie gel pen (here)
Uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens, Micro Point, Black (Here)
Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens, Medium Point, Assorted Colors (Here)
Pencils: Paper Mate SharpWriter Mechanical Pencils, 0.7mm, HB #2 (here)

Technology:

This semester Technology is going to be just as important as the pens and folders in my backpack. As for technology I am a huge Apple fan. I have the MacBook Pro and it does everything I need it to do for school. Apple does educational discounts each summer and this summer they are giving your a pair of AirPods if you buy a new computer for school. I also use my iPad for class at times. This semester I think I will find myself using my iPad as a second computer screen a lot more often then before. (here is all about how I use my iPad for school.)

This fall semester is going to be an interesting one, but we will get through it and hopefully my school Supply suggestions will help make yours a little less stressful.
