School Supplies 2009
Being a student myself, fall is such an exciting time to go school shopping and find all of the supply bargains. I love to be organized throughout the school year with all of the essentials, plus some extras that make life just a bit easier along the way. Here is my list of top school supplies to have this year.

1.) Having a healthy lunch is important to get you through the day. By taking along this sleek insulated lunch bag from the Container Store filled with healthy foods, any student can watch their waistline by staying away from greasy cafeteria foods.
2.) Keeping up with the technology is important in this day and age. As a student, being able to transport your papers, lectures, etc. with ease is a necessity. This tiny 2 GB USB drive from Staples will ensure that your essential data is with you when you need it.
3.) Ok. I realize the LiveScribe Pen is more on the expensive side when talking about school supplies, but the fact that it knows what you are writing, can record lectures and do simple math calculations, as well as a million other things, definitely makes it a magical tool.
4.)Everyone needs a place to write all of those notes and Mead’s 5 Star Notebooks sure can withstand quite a beating a lot of studying. Durability is key to making it through a rough school year.
5.) Highlighters are an important supply to consider when taking notes to point out things that are important. Duh! This little breath of fresh air has built in Post-It flags so you can make sure all of that hard work you did to highlight those chemistry notes can be easily found.
6.) To make up for the high price on the do-it-all pen listed above, I’ve found a great (and more inexpensive) alternative to the ever popular PDA. The Uncalendar can keep track of everything you have going on in your life and it comes in different styles, sizes, and colors to suit almost everyone’s needs.
7.) Last, but not least is the North Face Borealis Backpack which is perfect to keep all of the aforementioned supplies in one spot, with room for plenty more!
Do you have any must haves for this year or even from years past?
