Who else is having fun with school supplies?

Published

I'm just a few weeks away from my first semester in the nursing program and am loving all the school supplies with which I get to play. Besides the regular folders and stuff, there's mini-folders and nursing gadgets as well. I wish I had my backpack already so I could pack it!

Who else is enjoying it?

Last year while I was taking my pre reqs i went overboard buying school supply's Wal mart had single subject note books for 5 cents. i bought 6 boxes (i gave 2 boxes away to friends who decided to go back to college this year as a welcome to school box) I also bought a bunch of paper at staples for 25 cents a pack and have more than i think i will use in the next 2 years, I love getting school supply's cheap; I am such a bargin shopper; The only thing I need is a new bookbag I used to have the carry on your shoulder kind but I know i need a big one this semester!

Glad to know I'm not alone in the school supply excitement boat! Just bought some cute binders the other day @ TJ Maxx of all places for $3 a piece. They're all different colors, one for each class :p

Remember crazy for Coco Puffs (you all might be a bit young)? I am crazy for highlighters. Frankly, I don't need any school supplies. Of course, that hasn't stopped me before!

I thought it was just me!! My husband thinks there's something wrong with me. I have to buy something every time I go to Walmart, even if it's just pens or something little. I obsessed with highlighters too. Something about color coding keeps me organized. Sooo glad to know I'm not the only one =D

AHH! I found my homeeeeee in this thread! I once again went to Walmart today, sans money, as I currently have zilch in my bank account, and proceeded to wander yet again JUST to see if they had anything new that I missed a few weeks ago (they didn't!) I have to get paid again before I can buy my beautiful purple binder, and a zillion highlighters, and such.

The funny part is.... I'm SO excited for school, and the thought of buying school supplies makes me jump up and down, but after a week... I'm going to be cowering in my bed begging for it to end... hahaha. I'm sure I won't be the only one. :D

To the person who made the comment about fine point pens, I'm with you...I either use Pilots fine point or RSVP's fine point. I love them both and they are the only pens I will use, I'm a huge weirdo when it comes to pens, I get super upset if someone steals them...ha. I also love highlighters and my dry erase marker board with all sorts of colors. I can't wait to shop :) I'm still making my list.

i always just love to browse stuff. i go into the bookstore, knowing i don't have any money, just to chill in the nursing section. I get so happy. As for school supplies, there is nothing like the new packages. I get so excited opening them on the first day of school. fresh binder and notebook smell. ahhh so good
