Starting a new academic year means that I can purchase the things I looovveeeee, stationary!! I'm one of them people that gets joy out of buying a brand new notepad and pens, so when I found out I had achieved my place at university, stationary was the first thing I started to buy.
The first items I purchased were notepads and binders (not pictured), I first bought several different colourered binders for each of my modules, I used this method in college and found it was more effective for my learning than just putting it all into one large folder with dividers. I then bought a A5 notepad to create notes in my lectures, I really like the A5 size as it fits easily on the small 'desks'. I then bought some refil pads to transfer my notes onto A4 size and to place into my binders.
The next thing I purchased was a diary, I feel a diary is one of the most important things you can buy whether your at school, work, college or university. As I work different hours and have different schedules I like to put them all in one place so I can easily see what I have going on that day or week. My favourite types of diaries are the one that are day per page, I feel that I can easily write any lectures, nights out, work hours or assignments briefs in full.
Let me know what you think of this university series and if it's helping you out with what to take to university.

Coloured pens and highlighters make me so excited, I love to buy different types and a million different colours and shades. I like to use them to rewrite my notes and to put specific information or important information in contrasting colour so that it stands out. I also like to use different colours in my diary to show which work is for what class or if it's the hours I have to work.
