Anyways, this post reminds me of when I was in high school. My friends and I would go “school supply shopping” (aka Triple S-ing) and raid Target for cutesy notebooks with matching binders and pens. I remember buying this awesome lime green pen that was really fat and shaped like a bubble. The body of the pen was clear and was filled with glitter, which, of course, makes everything better. Sadly, disaster hit after a mere day, and my pen departed this fair earth.

Now, as a second-year college student without the means to buy a $10 pen just because it looks pretty, I stick to writing utensils of the mass-boxed variety.
