School Essentials: Stationary! // BeautieCollected

This is going to be one of a "series" of blogposts...if you can call it that! I'm going to have a running theme of "School Essentials" and have different posts for different aspects of things essential for school e.g stationary, beauty etc. So without further a-do! Here are my stationary essentials for school!

Here's an overview of my school essentials with regards to stationary!

1) Phone&iPod - Obviously for education, these are at them bottom of the list, but I find listening to music and having periodical breaks to glance over my social media helps me focus when I have to do my homework/studying. The walks to and from college are also prime time to listen to music and relax (when I'm not trying to die up the deceivingly steep park hill)!

2) Coloured Pens - These are a must for me! I like to make my notes and work colourful as it makes them a lot nicer to look at, and in turn I'll actually study and want to use them! Mainly because it looks nice, but yeah!

3) Sticky Notes - All sizes of sticky notes are useful for note making, but I really like the little tab ones for marking important pages in my notes and textbooks! I find them so easy to use and so useful to have!

4) Pencil case - It's so handy to be able to carry a spare pen and a couple of highlighters around with you, not only is it for organisation but you'll also have plenty of supplies on you. I always carry 3 pens (2 for me and 1 for the person that you know won't give it back), highlighters, pencils and a ruler.

5) Folders - I'm a big organisation freak so for me it's really important I keep things tidy and in one place. I have one for each subject so things don't get messed up, and it's the perfect way to keep everything together!

6) Paper - It may seem so obvious and basic to most of you, but you'll be surprised how many people don't carry paper! I prefer notebooks with hole-punched paper, so I can either keep it in the pad, or put it into my folder easy!

So these are all the basic stationary essentials for me! I always buy new pens and random notebooks I don't need or use because it's the one thing I have a weakness for! I need controlling!!

Take care!
