yoyo hello pog people :) here is a what's in my pencil case cause we are almost already past the back2school season! (click green flag first) alright lets go -> 1: erasers i have 2 erasers. they are not exactly the same brand but they do look like the image just w/o the paper label thing (took them off for easier use and forgot the brands) 2: gel pens - these serve x-berry gel pens are seriously my go-to this year i love them so much- it writes super smooth and you can write paragraphs with it without ever worrying. the ink comes out so good but it also quick dries witch as a lefty i really appreciate. i currently have the red, blue, purple and the black one (and they look exactly like in the photo). its so basic, cute, useful and my fav pens rn. def would get more + recommend. especially the black one is a MUST imo. 3: mechanical pencils - i have 6 mechanical pencils :') during an exam when one is broken or has no led i quickly switch to the other one (saves a lot of time btw- i just fill the leds when im bored in class lol) or during a test i use the one i'm most comfortable with so i always have lots of mechanical pencils. oh and alsooo one of them is this "zebra delguard" pencil thing ! i got it when it was talked about a lot (or trendy should i say??) and i can surely say its very overrated and over-pricey. yes i still use it after 1,5+ years but the "no led-breaking" thing? completely false. its designed to take the led inside when pressed too much and when u put 2 much pressure but that only works when u are holding the pencil in 90 degrees tbh- when u slightly tilt ur pencil which u have to when writing, it breaks just like any pencil, so def an over-rated not recommended pencil imo. just get a regular mechanical pen (way cheaper and does the same). 4: correction tape - to take notes i started using my magical gel pens so a correction tape just saves a lot of mistakes :') such a life saver and i love that mine is designed like a pen the way its clicky- i can fidget with it love love love. i got it from greece & no regrets. 5: smoothie gel pen/pens - these are also good but not as good as serve's. ngl i feel like everyone has or had a smoothie phase in here- i currently only have one but i sometimes add more sometimes not yk- i'd say its good. its a little more sharp then x-berry's but surely a good find. 6: highlighters - to take less space stabilo swing-cool's are a go-to 4 me. ever since they came out with these thinner ones i think i have always used it- love love stabilo's highlighters. but they do dry faster then some other highlighters if ykwim. 7: leds - im a mechanical pencil girl and if u are one you just knooowwww that you need leds all the time. i usually use 0.7 & rarely 0.5 and always have a 0.7 led refills. my go-to for like 6+ years is the faber-castell's ones that are in the pic. 120 leads go a long way and are not pricey but im fine with any tbh. final: my pencil case is a small one that has everything i need. during my school years i learned a lot on what to put and not. i always had fancy and aesthetic pencils but they really weren't useful- like taking brush pens to do calligraphy for my titles when also taking notes IN CLASS is hard- waste of time for nothing literally. my current pens are seriously better and makes me more productive AND i still take good and pleasing notes. i mean atp instead of bigger, more and aesthetic go for useful, minimal and more productive/comfortable. trust me. - for pencilcases usually an eastpak is my go-to and has been for years. but since for this year i couldn't find the smaller ones (idk why i guess they weren't in stock) for this year i just bought a small case. i think the brand is okapi?? idk hahajahxahh im currently fine with it it takes my needs and def not a bad quality thing at all. conclusion: thats finally all- i think i adressed, roasted and rated some good pens and pencils (+ more) today. i hope that was somewhat useful or fun <3 see you in the next one !
