School Supplies Haul + Random Stuff

Hello,

Over the last few weeks of summer, I started to stock up on back to school supplies and since now that I look back at my last post I think it was kinda rubbish so I thought I`d make another bake to school post.

*Disclaimer: I`m not bragging about what I've bought I know that there are a lot of people who can`t afford this and people that can afford a lot more. This is just so you can see what I like to have for school to give you an idea of what to buy and stuff like that. And I do actually use every pen till I can`t use it anymore, even though it may take me ages but I eventually do get through them.

With that said let's get in to the haul!

School Supplies


First I got a bunch of colored pens. I really like to write my notes in different colors so everything is more organized. I also do this because it is pretty and it makes me want to revise more. (well at least I think it does) I also use them in my schedule book so everything is clear.


These pens were so cute I couldn't resist on getting them, they were in a set and have matte finish which makes me like them even more.

These pens caught my attention because the colors where really nice and each pen is very slim so they don`t take up much space in my pencil case.

I also got a bunch of really cute notebooks to write notes in. I actually think I might have gone over board but I`ll eventually get to use them. I'm also starting to like notebooks without the spirals as when I stack them with other books they take up more space and sometimes get caught between other spirals.



Sticky notes because I`m not a very organized person so having notes everywhere to remind me of  things to do. One of them is like a roll of tape but paper so I can have custom sized notes.

I found this very cute and useful little vocabulary online as well. The book has sections to write down the definition, an example etc. of different vocabulary items. It also comes with plastic sheet that has holes so you can cover up the explanation or vocabulary to aid you in revision.


A protractor because I need this for math and geography and I tend to lose them often.

This pencil wrap thing was something that also caught my eye, I really liked the style of it and it would be great for bringing a few pens out.


Highlighters! I actually didn't get all of these at once but I really wanted all the colors so I got the remaining ones this time. Highlighters are essential for notes and studying.


Last in the list of school supplies is a pen, some correction fluid and some pen refills. I particularly like this correction fluid because it is also very slim so it doesn't take up much space. I like pen refills a lot because they're cheaper and I don't have to waste the plastic case.


Random Stuff


Tic Tacs! I've never tried this flavour before and strawberry is my favourite fruit ever so I thought I'd try some. 

They taste like marshmallows!

I love cute stickers for my schedule book as it encourages me to use it more. I got these two this time as they both weren't too big and they weren't to thick either. (some stickers are raised and have thickness)


Last of all the best thing I've ever seen. A bracelet but wait a minute, it's not just any old bracelet, it is maid of elastic so you can use it to tie up you hair. No more plain black hair ties on your wrist!


So that is what I got for school. I hope this helps you with any back to school shopping left or just what you bring to school and any shopping in the future.


Have Fun

School Essentials

Hello,
Since most students are going back to school or already back to school, I thought it be impossible for me not to write about some school essentials every girl ( Or maybe boy?) Needs in their school bag.

1. Pens
Everyone needs pens and pencils, or else we wouldn't be able to jot down notes (I hope you do jot notes because even if you don`t read them again, you are more likely to remember everything if you`ve written them down at least once) Of course it is also great to have cute pens but bare in mind that they should write smoothly as well or else you are just going to get frustrated.


2. Notebooks
Notebooks are great for jotting down notes, writing reminders r even just doodling in class if you get bored. It doesn't really matter if you get one thick one and divide it up or a bunch of small ones. Me personally likes to keep them separate as I find thick ones very heavy and bulky.


3. Agenda
Not everyone needs this but when things get hectic these come in handy. I used to give up every few weeks I start one but this time I stuck to it by making it really cute and really fill in all my dates. I think that you should give it a try if you find your self forgetting things and dates clashing a lot. I recommend the Muji plain weekly or monthly planner. They are really nice and the best thing is that you can customize them with stickers and drawings. They are also really light weight.


4. Water bottle
You've got to stay hydrated through out the day and no I do not mean those juice drinks and energy drinks with added sugar and flavorings. I`m talking about H20 (Preferably not distilled water because it has no nutrients and I think it tastes disgusting). 70% of your whole body is made of water so drink up!


5. File
A nice big file will help you get organized for your classes, you can just through everything you need for one class and your good to go. Sometimes if I`m lazy I'll even throw my pens in their so I don`t have to bring a pencil case.


6. A smile
Don`t forget, school is supposed to be fun, even if you hate the classes and the homework, try to think of whats after it. Like you get to hang out with friends after classes, you get to go shopping after finishing your homework. It should be a time in life where we get to find ourselves and make some great friends so why miss out?
