and I can't wait ! I'm a school supply junkie and I can't wait to get my hands on pens, pencils, highlighters, post-its and other things I probably don't need. I can blow 1 grand in a bookstore in a heartbeat. Super excited.

I am a huge school supply junkie too, glad to know I'm not the only nerd out there. :) I went shopping as soon as my loans disbursed to my school's bookstore. I got notebooks, a HUGE binder (our teachers use a lot of notes), highlighters, pens, all the basics. If you haven't already got them, I really recommend getting some of the multi-colored sticky tabs so that you can mark key pages in your notes or textbook. I've found them to be really helpful

Love school supplies - got my 10yr old going too.
Favorites:
Black Pearl eraser - a perfect oval disc, doesn"t leave eraser marks, and it a
great tension tamer to fiddle with in my hand before a big exam.
Tichonderoa Tri-Rite Pencils - the most comfy for hours of writing.
Sticky Tabs
Blue Painters (Masking) Tape - I use this for everything - Marking Luggage, taping up hems.... to taping the wrapping on the sandwich in my lunch closed.

School supplies are my fix! I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one who was excited to get ready for this semester, in form of supplies! I get such a high off of it! I love buying pens, highlighters, INDEX CARDS, notebooks, paper, and many other things I've probably gotten a surplus amount of over the past few weeks! (I've still got to pick up those flags to mark my notes and books with!) I couldn't tell you how many packs of paper and index cards are in bags, sitting in my trunk right now. LOL, always my favorite time about new semesters! Happy shopping everyone!

Oh myyyy your post is making think about school. I have a ton of shopping to do: new scrubs, books from bookstore, highlighters, notebooks, pencils, binders, yuckkk too much stuff and too little money
Thanks for reminding me about index cards, YES ! I also need to get my clinical uniform too, ugh. Really don't feel like spending 100 bucks on that right now, but oh well. Last semester so I'll suck it up.

I feel so dumb that the sticky flags never occured to me! I'm always stuffing pens/pencils or random papers into books and notes to mark important spots. I'm adding it to my last minute shopping list!
I've been gathering things over the summer as I see good deals. While doing my 1st graders school shopping, I found 150 sheets of loose leaf paper for 75 cents per pack. I loaded up!
You can definitely add me to the list of people who LOVE school supplies!
