Because I'm an Asian girl and my favorite part of the school year, other than four-day weekends and breaks, is that lovely time when paper and pencils are suddenly cheaper.

And, as this child so eloquently puts it: [2:23:59 AM] ramenkmt: I LOVE GETTING [2:24:01 AM] ramenkmt: NEW SCHOOL SUPPLIES [2:24:05 AM] ramenkmt: /nerdgasm

• Excavate lightly-used BlueBear binder
• Use Monokuroboo Notebook Brie bought me
• Use Sir Ichigousagi for car keys/school ID etc.
• Use my Giraffe pencil case this year again
• Purchase cute whiteout tape roller
• Two more brightly colored mechanical pencils
  • SAY NO TO THE DANGLY CHARMS.
• Buy a new, happy-looking lead case.
• Buy another one for 0.7. The other is 0.5mm.
• Use the Monokuroboo transparent folder that Stephie gave me
• Use one of my old pencil cases for chapstick/eye drops/emergency medicine/floss/gum/etc.
  • NO PENCIL BOXES. CASE > BOX.
• Take out my bento box set with matching chopsticks/case
• Buy a new black backpack? Jansport?
• Reuse binder tabs from last year
• Use the pink and brown pocket notebook Jackie bought me as a homework notebook
• Buy new perforated spiral notebooks
• Stock up on paper. A lot.
• Pack a small stapler
• Find another binder to use for Kanji notebook
  • The one I used for it last year was way too cute; I'm using it for other classes now, victory!
• Go on a major buying spree for whatever adorable school supplies I see

Clearly, I need to make a trip to some Asian stationery store. None of that Sanrio shit though. Their products always break after a few weeks, it's disgustingly overpriced, and Hello Kitty isn't the best character ever. I'm also sick of seeing Charmy Kitty--bring back Pochacco and Badtz-maru and Tuxedo Sam plz.
