Hey so don’t freak out or anything, but finals are just around the corner. It’s a time of stress and isolation from the world (goodbye for now Brick Street!). This is a week of figuring out how to keep your head from exploding and pretending like you have your life together, which you probably don’t!
So as a senior, I’m a little past the point of freaking out past the point of sanity over essays and exams because I know I’m going to try my best and work hard, and whatever happens, happens!
Finals are inevitable. So might as well make them as enjoyable as possible, right? Right.
Here are 10 school supplies that make learning and studying a much more enjoyable experience (humor me).
1. Pilot Retractable Premium Roller Pen
This baby is truly like writing with butter, so smooth and satisfying! Personally, I fancy the ultra-fine tip pen.
2. Pentel Twist-Erase
Twisty erasers, chic silver accents, and a stunning latex-free grip! What more could you ask for in a pencil?
3. Ban.do Agenda
This is my bible right here, folks. My entire academic life is in here. All of it. Hands off, get your own. Ban.do Agendas are super hot on the market right now, so I have kindly provided you with a link to purchase it on Ebay.

4. Sharpie Highlighters
Sharpie highlighters are there for me when my eyes simple can’t gaze upon another sentence of plain old black and white Times New Roman text. Your study guide is begging to be colored. Give it what it wants.
5. Post-it Pop-ups
Psh, no they are not pointless and a waste of money. They’re awesome. Big ‘ol regular sized post-it notes get crinkled and distressed. These are the perfect size and stick effortlessly to your textbook.
6. Five Star Notebook
This one is a classic. In my opinion, the Godfather of all notebooks is Five Star. They are simple, sturdy, and those handy little folders inside…genius!
7. Computer Case
Always use protection! Your laptop is essentially your lifeline in college; treat it right. Perhaps with some Marc Jacobs?

8. Lilly Pulitzer Planner
For two and a half beautiful years, I used a Lilly Pulitzer planner. They will always at some point be a staple in every college girl’s career. Beautiful artwork and excellent organization, thanks Lil!
9. Self-Control App
Fine, laugh now, but come finals week you’ll be thanking me. This is a free program that prevents you from visiting your favorite websites. For me, my list consists of Facebook, Pinterest, and Refinery 29. Download this ASAP, everyone.
10. Colored Sharpies
I love these guys for group projects and labeling my notebooks and folders. Sure you can borrow my sharpies! Just make sure you put them back in their correct color order.
Target
That’s it. So bookmark this article now and over winter break have mom and dad buy you these lovely school supplies. You simply won’t be able to do well on your finals without the, right? Works every time.
