Shopping for School Supplies
Do you like to shop? Do you know that shopping can make you a better student? That is, when you shop for school supplies. Having the necessary supplies can make you more organized. It can make your study time more efficient. What do you need to shop for? Let's take a look.
Of course, you need the basics - pens, pencils, and paper. Get pens that are comfortable in your hand. Decide which kind of pencils you like, either mechanical or wooden. Mechanical pencils are refillable. You buy lead separately and put it in the pencil when you need it. Mechanical pencils are more expensive, but they last a long time. Basic wooden pencils must be sharpened often and eventually get so small you can't use them. But they are inexpensive, and some people prefer the way they write. It's up to you to decide. If it will help motivate you, get ones with cool pictures or sayings on them.
Loose leaf notebook paper is a must. This is notebook paper that already has holes punched in it. It fits easily in a notebook. It can be lined in two ways. College ruled paper has lines that are closer together than wide ruled notebook paper. Again, get whichever you or your teachers prefer.
