I really like school supplies. Maybe I'm just a huge nerd, but there's something about a pack of new pens that gets me really excited...even if I have 6296585 perfectly functional pens kicking around under my bed. The new ones are always better.
And highlighters. I am a self-admitted highlighter junkie. I love them. I hoard them. Do I use online textbooks? Yes. Do I still require every color of the rainbow in Sharpie form? Obviously.
I bought school supplies the other day. The aisle with the notebooks, pencils, and binders with mysteriously massive pouches is a magical place. My favorite thing when I was a kid was getting the "needed supplies" list and raiding Wal-Mart the week before school started. I loved sharpening all my pencils, arranging everything neatly in the proper compartments, and filling binders with blank papers. And I still get that super excited back-to-school feeling when I walk down that aisle.
Fun story. In the mail, there was an envelope with my name on it. No note. No return address. Just a pack of Post-It notes. I LOVE Post-Its. I took it as a sign. Hit the books. Nose to the grindstone. Finals. I so got this.
Short-lived.
I still hate studying.
But now my bag is exploding with fluorescent fun. Yes.
