back to school haul

I know YouTubers love their haul videos, so I thought I would do a sort of haul blog of my back to school supplies. Maybe a back to school wardrobe blog will follow. I'm a total school supply nerd and I have to have very specific items. After 12 years of school (including pre-k and kindergarten) I know what I like.


1: Mead binders. These ones are really snazzy because they fold over like a notebook, making it easier to take notes. I usually use plastic binders that I end up destroying after a month, so I'm hoping these will last longer.
2: Loose leaf paper. Maybe calling it loose leaf is an east coast thing, because here in Utah people look at me like I'm mad when I say that. However, I'm talking about that loose paper that comes in giant packs. I bought four, which will probably last me about two months--no joke.
3: Giant erasers. My love of these probably stems from all of my time designing posters in 7th grade Publications class, but they really do come in handy. Now, though, I use them for erasing paragraphs out of my essays.
4: Planner. According to my friends, the school I am switching to does not provide them. As soon as I heard this, I know it would be absolutely necessary to buy one of my own. I don't really write down important dates or my extensive social calender (because I don't have one), but it works out well for keeping track of homework.
5: Black & White Bic Pencils. These are the perfect example of knowing what I like. It has taken me a several years to find the perfect pencil, but I am pretty darn sure this is it. They are the only mechanical pencils I've ever found that can withstand all of my fidgeting,.
6: Lead for Mechanical Pencils. In high school, everyone wants your gum and pencil lead. It's good to be prepared.
7: Zebra Pens. These are the ultimate pen. I am in love with them. When I had to take AP tests, I bought 6. No joke.,
8: Dakine Backpack. I bought this a TJ Maxx just a few days ago. It's pretty. I always use some sort of messenger bag or backpack, and I'm hoping this one will work out,
