My pencil case is a large Lihit Lab Smart Fit Double Pen Case in blue. The white pouch is narrow but deep and has two side pockets. The blue pouch opens all the way and has three sections: a small pocket, an elastic band, and a mesh pouch. There’s a LOT of space here for pretty much anything that fits in your palm. You could definitely put small scissors in the mesh pocket or mints or medicine in the white pouch. It’s versatile!(Note: the links are to Amazon and Muji US, but several of these I just found at the drugstore years ago and am still using now. The Muji products I usually get via my sister, who lives in NYC. The only items on this list I bought on Amazon are the Pentel Orenz pencil and the Zebra highlighters, plus the pencil case itself.)White pouch:BIC 0.5 mm mechanical pencilAn old standby. I never use any pencil with lead thicker than 0.5 mm, I hate them. I love fancy stationery as much as the next studyblr, but sometimes simplicity is key.Pentel Orenz 0.2 mm blue mechanical pencilThis pencil is cool because it writes with the lead still inside the pencil body. It’s built that way, otherwise the lead would break. This isn’t my favorite pencil in the universe (the grip isn’t very good), but if you’re writing on a soft surface it’s great.Pilot Precise V5 RT black retractable rolling ball penAnother standby. Many an in-class essay has been written with this pen. It’s my favorite for annotating anything on printer paper. A trooper.Muji 0.38 mm black and blue gel ink pensWhat is there even to say about Muji pens? You need them in your life. Sometimes I use them to handwrite fancy fonts into my notes. (Sorry the link on this one isn’t perfect.)0.5 and 0.2 mm lead refillsPentel eraser refills8 GB Kingston USBI got this from my dad in sixth grade. I’ll admit it, since 2013 or so I’ve pretty much never used it, but I like having it on hand. It’s good for quick file transfers, especially if the files are big or if it’s illegal movies or something. You never know.Blue pouch:Zebra Midliner Cool & Refined double-sided highlightersI love these highlighters! I have a pack of mild Frixion erasable highlighters, too, but I don’t like them as much so I don’t carry them around. Plus, these ones double as markers. I plan on getting more colors soon!Double-sided blue SharpieBlack is the classic Sharpie choice, and I have one of those at home, but (as you can probably tell) blue is my favorite color. Everyone needs a Sharpie, and I definitely recommend the double-sided ones. The thin tip comes in handy.Pentel EnerGize 0.5 mm mechanical pencilAnother mechanical pencil. This one has a thick grip, like a pen. I don’t use it much, but it’s good to lend out. I gave the other one (it came in a double pack) to a friend who really liked it.Muji 3-color ballpoint penA gift from my sister! She’s a doctor, so at the hospital she uses the different colors on to-do lists to prioritize what’s urgent, what’s not urgent, and what needs to be done RIGHT THIS INSTANT. Personally, my favorite thing about this pen is how thin the tips are.Pilot Frixion Ball erasable 0.5 mm blue penFrixion erasables aren’t my favorite, mostly because of the watercolor ink, but this one doesn’t bother me much and is good to have if you’re writing on glossy paper or something similar. In high school, I used it in my Spanish textbooks and workbooks, so I could erase it later and sell the books as new.Global Wings Japan 5-color post-itsJust some sticky notes. I coordinate them with pen/highlighter colors when I’m annotating.Green eraserFor big mistakes.This is definitely a step up from my old pencil case, which had three pouches but was comparatively quite small. (It’s also now super dirty/well-loved, seeing as I used it all throughout middle and high school. It has a picture of a red double-decker bus on each side—you can see how that’s appealing to an 11-year-old.) While this is the pencil case I carry around with me in my backpack, I’m considering getting a standard Muji pencil case for when I just want to take the absolute essentials with me (on short trips, hikes, etc.), or for the rest of my highlighters and Muji gel pens (which are currently still in their broken cylindrical packaging). I’m such a stationery junkie. I love pens and paper.If you have any thoughts, I’d love to hear them! Thanks for reading!!– Sasha -- source link
