Must-Have School Supplies to Make Your Life Easier
Back-to-school season is here—but are you actually ready to go back?
You’re probably in the middle of your back-to-school shopping right now. Whether you’re picking up things for your dorm or getting your textbooks purchased, heading back to campus is on your mind (even if only a little).
But have you thought about all the little things you’ll need for the new semester? If not, you’re in the right place. Be sure to grab these essential back-to-school items to make your life that much easier.
Pens
Taking notes by hand has been scientifically proven to help you retain the information better than if you type it. Start taking some notes, old-school style, this year! But make sure you have a solid set of pens to help make writing in class a breeze.
