So fall is nearing, the days are cooling  and it’s almost time to go back to school! Which means, no more lazy summers and vegging out on the couch sitting in sweat and binge watching Game of Thrones all day.

One thing to look forward to is the smell of brand spankin’ new school supplies. I remember growing up and looking forward to all the new colorful pens, the binders, and the new folders I’d get to use for the new school year to be the best, most “productive” student I could be.

Here’s a list of my fav’s for the 2017 Fall School Year.

1. BACKPACK- I love the style the Herschel Brand offers. Unisex design, simple, casual, bold, timeless and versatile; Not only for school, but for going out and about and traveling and it comes in a ton of different stylish colors.

2. PENS- There’s nothing like finding THE PERFECT pen. After years of looking, my super all-time favorite, go-to pen that never fails me is the Pilot G2 Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen ; I’ve been using this pen since high school and college and still my favorite pen of all time, so smooth, so consistent, so clean, and precise. I like it in the 0.5 or 0.7 point.

3. STICKY NOTES-The classic post-it note. I remember using these a lot in college which are great for reminders on when your next assignment or midterm is due. Also great for leaving book marks in your textbooks, so you can quickly find the answers on your next online exam or for passing notes in class.

4. NOTEBOOKS– Don’t be THAT person who comes into class late and mooches for some paper all the time. It’s a commodity these days! Get different colors for different subjects. I also prefer college-ruled over wide-ruled all day any day because it offers more writing real estate.

5. #2 PENCILS– The ALMIGHTY #2 pencil. For your scantrons for midterms and finals week. Luckily some mistakes CAN be erased; AmazonBasics Wood-cased #2 Pencils.

7. LAPTOP– My trustworthy laptop I have also had for years now. I absolutely love my MacBook Pro and I honestly have no complaints and have had no problems at all since the start of our time together. I use it for everything; research, accessing blackboard for assignments and homework,  writing papers, and of course watching Youtube videos during lectures.

8. HEADPHONES– Preferably headphones that have noise cancelling, wireless, and has a microphone. Great for school when you are in library or a study sesh at the coffee shop. Headphones also with earhooks can double to the gym and workouts! I’ve found that plain ol’ earbuds without earhooks just fall out especially if your running the track or treadmill or doing some high-intensity workouts. You also don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for a pair of decent beats, check out the Bestfy Wireless Headphones.
