You may think it's stupid that I want to talk about what school supplies I'll be using this year but let me explain. There are school supplies that can add to your life and there are school supplies that can detract from your life. Now, this could be for a number of reasons like they're cheap, they're falling apart, or they have an odd format or size. However, you do not need to fear any longer for I am creating a list of all of the things I bought this year that will help you succeed in your education!
This backpack is a game changer. It has very comfortable padded straps, holds up to a 15 inch laptop and a tablet, and even has double water bottle pockets. There are also multiple zipper pouches throughout to hold all of your smaller items—one of which was made specifically for things like chargers or earbuds. Honourable Mention: if you have a lot of rather large textbooks and notebooks, I highly recommend the Big Student Backpack by Jansport as well.
Instead of carrying larger, heavier notebooks, I only have one of those for the paper. I realised I could fit so much more in my backpack if I used smaller, lighter notebooks. If you don't like having nontraditional notebooks, then any in the Five Star line will do. They are very durable and come with college or wide ruled paper for whatever handwriting size you have. Trust me, these things will last forever.
To be honest, I just bought this but it is already so amazing I have to include it. I decided to get a mini cooler so I could store large amounts of food in it. I'm the type of person that either forgets to pack lunch or just doesn't make a lunch at all. Having such a large lunch box means that I can just stuff food in it for the whole week. That way I don't forget to eat. Plus, if I want to eat something that's hot or cold this is very insulated (and spill proof for soup)!
There are more styles and types available on Amazon; they are all separate links.
This is a very cute, very functional planner. It has plenty of space for me to fill up the calendar and write in homework and other appointments and it has a folder in the back for loose paper. There's also artwork before each month.
Honourable Mention: if you'd prefer a similar planner in different styles and sizes, I highly recommend Ban.do planners.
You might be thinking, "Kiki, that's ridiculous. I'm going to be the crazy person with a mini file folder in their backpack." Yes, you will, but wouldn't you rather that than 1000 binders? It's so much less bulky and has tabs for every file. You can organise it however you want—by class, by homework, by test, by handout, etc. The opportunities are nearly endless. It will save you so much space!!!
These school supplies will literally save your life by saving your back from arthritis and other spinal problems. Remember, your backpack should only weigh 10% of your total weight. This means if you weigh 120lbs, your backpack should be ≤ 12lbs. Since high school has begun, I've never actually been able to do this successfully before my senior year but all of these school supplies definitely helped me achieve this goal. Learn from my mistakes, be smart, and buy these school supplies for your future health! Bye for now! You've got this <3
