10 School Supplies You Secretly Still Want

August marks the end of the summer, and the beginning of a new school year. As soon as the back to school commercials came on, I would be the first to volunteer to run errands with my mom. The good supplies went fast, so the earlier you bought your mechanical pencils the better. Target marked off an entire section in the store just for school supplies. While your school suggested you needed 12 crayons, you knew you couldn't arrive to school without at least 36. Going back to school in college means getting maybe two notebooks, and bringing your laptop to class. I hate to admit it, but I wouldn't turn down Lisa Frank spirals and folders. Here's a list of ten school supplies you secretly still want in your backpack.

1. Lisa Frank folders. Okay, Lisa Frank everything.

2. Rolling backpacks. They were never allowed at my school, and I'm still bitter.

3. Gel pens. The only way to take notes.

4. Smelly markers.

5. Pencil cases that fit anything you could possibly need.

6. Pattern edged scissors. They could never cut any paper, but I always loved the idea of them.

7. The 96-pack of Crayola crayons was the best of the best. The RoseArt 8 pack was the absolute worst.

8. Eraser tops. Because you could never trust the erasers on #2 pencils.

9. Pencil grips. To survive the endless amount of cursive writing.

10. The dreaded walk to the front of the room to sharpen your pencil could easily be avoided with one of these.

    Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

    This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

    Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

    Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

    Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

    Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

    Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

    I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
