BACK TO SCHOOL - Supply List

BACK TO SCHOOL As the summer passes by, we are nearing the start of the new school year. Whether you are going back to school in person or online, the necessity of items to organize yourself for the academic year always remains. Here are a few items that would be a great addition for you whether you are going back to school, college, or university.   Notebooks & Agendas Organizing personal and school schedules is going to be much easier now. Notebooks and agendas help you stay on top of your due dates for homework, assignments, and other deadlines. You can take notes for your different classes and courses while keeping track of important school events. My personal favorite is to make to-do lists of what you want to accomplish daily or weekly. It certainly has increased my success rate of completing all of my tasks. Midori or Maruman are two highly recommended notebooks that have great quality paper and are also fountain pen friendly. We can't also forget Fabriano and Oasis notebooks, aside from being great for everyday use, they give you color choices for their covers. For Agendas, Quo Vadis, Paperblanks, and Letts of London would be on the top of my list. They have various options for the type of planner you are looking for whether it be daily, weekly, monthly or academic.     Pencils & Mechanical Pencils The good old-fashioned way of writing with wooden pencils never gets old. Now with Blackwing pencils, you can choose the type of graphite you want to work with. If you prefer a soft, dark line then you should choose Blackwing Matte because they have the softest graphite core. If you are looking to put half the pressure but want to write with twice the speed, your choice should be Blackwing 602 because they have a firm and smooth graphite core. For balanced and smooth writing, Blackwing Pearl should be your pick because it is softer than Blackwing 602 but firmer than Blackwing Matte. If you want to do more detailed work then Blackwing Natural will be the best option for you because of their extra-firm graphite core. If your love for pencils is more on the mechanical side then don't worry, we got you. There are a few options that I would like to give you because honestly, they have specific qualities that make them unique. Mechanical pencils from Milan or Pentel are great if you are looking for a go-to pencil to carry with you every day. If you are looking for a pencil with a better grip then I would recommend Pilot's Dr. Grip or Sakura's Sumo Grip.   Pens Our collection of pens is vast, from fountain pens, rollerballs to ballpoint pens. However, for this list, I will focus on pens that would be helpful to take color-coordinated notes. These pens are helpful to keep track of your notes across different subjects or simply to make it easier to differentiate the important parts from the less important parts. Uniball has a vast variety to choose from. From their regular black or blue inked ballpoint or gel pens to their colorful gel stick pens, they are great for daily note-taking. Similarly, the Zebra Sarasa has a collection of colors and nib sizes for their pens. In a list about pens, who can forget Pilot and their hi-tech and G-tech collection? With smooth flowing ink and color options, they are a great choice when it comes to taking color-coordinated notes. I would also like to recommend a personal favorite amongst rollerball pens and that would be the Lamy Swift. If you have a higher budget, this would definitely be a pen to invest in. Quality and long-lasting aspect-wise, they are perfect.   Highlighters and Erasable Pens & Markers Following the theme of the previous item, these are also great for notetaking. Except its specialty is in their erasable quality. Yes, you read that correctly. Now you can take notes without any worry. Made a mistake? You can simply eraser it. It is great if you want to make changes without the use of a whiteout. Frixon has a collection of pens and markers that come in different colors of erasable ink. Choose a more environmentally friendly option and use Frixon pens. They have refills that you can buy after the ink runs out. They also have a collection of erasable markers but currently, we do not carry their refills. Now, who can forget the
