I would make a Youtube video but I’ll save you guys the 2005 video edits
Lol but seriously guys I truly feel like I'm acting like a youtuber doing this but in order to really help you guys out I decided to include a Supply Haul in my back to school series. The reason behind this is because I could say this, this and that but I would be hypocritical if I wasn't actually using the supplies I suggested in any of my past masterposts. I will include pictures of everything I bought as well as a brief description of why I bought it and how I will use it for the upcoming school year. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of my personal preferences for school and how it may help you stay organized, and succeed.
I chose to go with one of Jansport's most popular backpack. It has one main pocket with sufficient space as well as two front pockets and a laptop sleeve. I chose this backpack because it's simple and is a decent size for my first year of college.
I bought 5 notebooks for this first semester. Two of them are from Stellar and they are simple, one subject, college ruled notebooks.
The third notebook I chose is a grid notebook which I plan to use for my Intro to Statistics course. I felt this was a better option rather than a lined notebook because it will help me to keep my notes organized and easy to read. This notebook is also in the size 8.5x11 which was really hard to find for me. I don’t like the Mead Five Star grid notebooks and every other grid notebook was small so when I finally found this one I was extremely excited!
The last two notebooks I bought were from Muji. These Notebooks are made of recycled material so they're an off white color. I plan on using this for my Spanish 202 class. These notebooks don't have a spiral binding which, for some reason or another, I actually prefer for my language courses.
I chose to buy 4 1" binders for this school year. There isn't much to this except that I'm going to use these as my main source of organization for each class which includes: Spanish, Statistics, US History, and English
I plan to use these to further organize my classes in my binders. I won't use an entire pack for one binder but just a few to divide up spaces for my homework, essays, class work, and notes. (also of course I had to pick the cute ones)
I grabbed a single folder along with everything else because, if you've read my BTS Series masterposts, then you'll know that I strongly recommend a folder that you use for important papers or work that is given or needs to be turned in that same day. I grabbed a plastic Five Star rather than an off brand paper folder because I know I'll be using this all year round for multiple purposes. I'll need to get maximum use out of this folder so the sturdier, the better.
· Erasers, Refills, White Out, and Adhesive Rollers
This is all pretty self-explanatory. I just want to point out that I strongly recommend you buy white out because you'll definitely need it if you prefer writing notes with pen rather than pencil.
I bought 15 Zebra Mildliners for this school year. Of course you don't need this many highlighters, let alone such expensive highlighters. Just make sure to include a good variety for yourself if you heavily rely on highlighting your notes!
I bought 2 sets of pens (highly unnecessary but I'm extra) for this year. The first being 12 Pilot G2 pens in 0.7mm as well as 12 Muji pens in 0.5mm. If you don’t have access to online shopping I would go ahead and buy Pilot G2 because those will more likely be in stores rather than Muji pens (If you guys know of any American store that sells Muji prducts LET ME KNOW). But if you're thinking of buying yourself some Muji pens, I highly recommend them! I also bought a white Gelly Roll pen which I plan to use for my bullet journal.
I bought three different black pens (again, EXTRA) which includes the Staedtler Fineliners, Pilot G2 in 0.38mm and Uni-Ball Signos in 0.7mm. I plan on using the fineliners for my bujo and the Pilot G2 for notetaking. The Uni-Ball Signos for whatever other reason but most likely as back up.
For pencils so far I've only bought 2 pencils from Muji which is, again, totally unnecessary. I do plan on buying just some regular pencils from whatever store since I'm not really picky on the actual barrel but rather the size of the lead. I bought these Muji pencils for the heck of it (cuz it's Muji ya know?) and liked how they looked. Plus they were in 0.5mm lead which is my preference.
I bought my first Bullet Journal after having tried it out with a different notebook over the summer. I chose to buy the Leuchtturm 1917 dotted notebook since I've seen many good reviews and whatnot. So far I really enjoy the quality of the paper and everything the notebook has to offer.
Lol so this has been a reoccurring theme in this masterpost but these are just a few extra supplies I bought that I know I’ll be using this school year. This includes Washi tape (for my bujo), Tombow dual Brush pens (for my bujo) and a notepad for quick lists.
So that's everything that I've bought for this school year! There's certain things, such as my pencil case and loose leaf paper that I didn't mention because I didn't buy new ones and they're pretty self explanatory. If you want to see the pencil case that I'll be using for this school year you can check out my "What's in my pencil case" post. Apart from that, if you have any questions of where I bought any of these or whatever else, don't be afraid to comment, send me a message, or send an ask to my inbox! I'l be happy to answer and send you guys links of where I bought everything.
This was a pretty long masterpost considering I included multiple pictures. This was a lot of effort (much more effort than I thought it would take) so I hope you guys enjoyed and can really understand what I’ve been talking about in my previous BTS masterposts!
