So this will just be a simple what I keep in pencil case post. I find that the tools you keep on hand are directly proportional to your success in school. And while you may not need pens in every color of the rainbow on a daily basis, figuring out what you will use and how effectively is extremely important.
This is my pencil bag. I bought it at wal-mart a couple years back and it has held up pretty well. It is big enough to hold everything I need and has transparent back to it so I can see what I need before I open it.
These are my favorite black ink pens to write with. They are Sharpie brand and can be bought in singles, doubles, or in a pack of four. I just bought these at wal-mart, however I do not recall the price on these. They also don't bleed through paper like a normal Sharpie fine-point marker would.
This is just some tape white-out from BIC that I bought. I was looking for white-out pens but couldn't seem to find any at the time, and I hate using the kind that comes in a bottle similar to nail polish. This was actually a pleasant surprise for me as far a quality goes. However it may take a few swipes before it actually starts applying the tape.
These are colored pens. I like using these when I am taking notes and they are also excellent for color coding which I do in my agenda. From left to right: Papermate InkJoy 300RT, which I bought in a pack of 8, although 6 are shown. Next are my Papermate Profile's. I can't recall the packs size that I bought however there are more than what is shown. Then I have a red Papermate Flair M, which I also use in my agenda for checking off completed assignments.
These are just some brightly colored highlighters that I picked up. They are BIC bright liners, which are useful for highlighting notes, etc.
Just some plain mechanical pencils, which are also by Papermate. I honestly just use whatever is available when it comes to pencils.
And finally just scissors and a couple of glue sticks, which I use as the need arises.
All in all, this is what I keep in my pencil bag. I also carry chapstick in the winter to keep my lips from peeling, which comes with the cold weather. Don't go out and but exactly what I have, this is just what I use because it works for me.
