Pen+gear is Walmart brand. I graduated in 2018. I’ve recently had to take a mental health leave from work and your videos have helped me. I’ve watched almost all your video since I found you in lockdown. I hope you’re having a great week. Thank you for being you.
I graduated high school and college in the 80’s. My generation watched movies at school using the good ole movie projector and film reel. We watched slideshows on a slide projector and if the teacher/professor didn’t write on the chalk board, they used the overhead projector. Oh….and research papers were done by going to the card catalog in the library to find the needed books for information sources and then typed using a typewriter double spaced, of course. And if you had an electric typewriter you were winning! 😂 Nowadays, google and computers have made research paper writing so much easier!
My son''s school did that too. When we went to meet the teacher night most of his classmates had bought cheaper school supplies(which is what I would have done but they stressed certain names,sizes and counts.Some I had to order and pay more for). Well,call me petty, but when I found out we had to mix all the school supplies together with everybody else's,I broke out my Sharpie and labeled all my son's stuff right there.He really wanted some of his supplies because he picked them out himself.
Oh My God!!!! The temptation to buy it all... All of it... You are so good just showing us around. I would have been like 'I want this, I want that, I want it all...'
If you go to Meijer their school supplies are on sale. My granddaughter is only 2 so I stock up so she always has enough to color with and it's cheaper than paying full price
First time junior high mom and her art class is kneadable eraser and different B type pencils and 50 plus page protectors. Gotta carry like 3 different binders and most classes want their own Zipper pencil pouches. It's definitely changed since my junior high days.
I have always enjoyed going back to school shopping. It was just a great feeling getting new school supplies and clothes/shoes for school until the year was over. 😂❤ I have always been a planner kind of girl and I enjoyed writing down assignments for school and important dates in one. ❤ I am more of a mechanical pencil kind of girl. I graduated high school in 2018 and I graduated college in 2022. I’m not doing any school supplying anytime soon unless I decide to go back to college because I don’t have any kids yet.
I always wanted the 64 pack of crayons with the sharpener built into the box. . . . As an adult. I have a pair of scissors in my knitting supplies, one in my sewing box, one in the kitchen drawer, one in the garden supplies, one in my desk drawer, and a couple more in other locations. You can never have too many scissors.
That’s right - sharpener in the back. I had a box like that - I can’t say the sharpener was all that great. 🙁 Scissors - I’m thinking a few more would be good in my house, too!
I graduated 2013 but I do remember the overhead projectors! And that one massive tv they would wheel into the room! I also love using thick pens! Especially after I was a notary for six years the thick tipped pens are way better My son is only seven months but I’m so obsessed with back to school things I’m so excited to buy things for him but also so not ready for him to be in school!
I’m dying at your locker combo dream. My school dream is that I’ve forgotten to go to school and I can’t remember my schedule but I never think to go to the office and ask 😂
I also have dreams that it's the first day of high school and I either can't find my locker, can't open it, don't know my class schedule, or all of the above lol. I graduated in 2011.
I have a love of note books and gell pens and get new ones every year (mot that I need them) I just have to stay in uni but not sure what to do after this year as I'm about to finish my masters would it be to much to do a PhD just to keep with the back to school tradition of buying note books and gell pens. Haha
I mean… no. No, that’s not unreasonable. 😂😂😂 Congratulations on nearly finishing your masters!! That’s amazing. ❤️😊 probably all those gel pens and notebooks that got you through.
I changed the name! Here’s the video announcement - Announcement!! th-cam.com/video/aW2YKT6srqA/w-d-xo.html I also have a vlogging channel @ Meghan Birch
Trapper keepers definitely used to be bigger. It’s not a big difference but there is a difference
I have always loved stationary 😊

Wow. That’s amazing Kellie. ❤️ I’m so sorry things have been tough. Praying you continue to heal and feel stronger.
Hey Megan, I graduated in 1982 I'm old. Never got all the cute stuff for school, so I got them for my boy's they out of school now too.
I graduated in 1980. I love all the school supplies. We take our grandkids every year to get their school supplies, very nice trip.
That’s fantastic. Great memories! ❤️
My high school daughter loves the Gel Pens for school. I personally prefer the Whiteout Tape.
I had a trapper keeper with the hot balloon on it, and I loved it
Sweet. ❤️

Times have changed. Crazy how different each generation has it.
You are correct, Meghan, the trapper keepers were a lot larger in the day! Like 2.5 inches! I could fit everything in them.
Glad I could get some validation. The new ones seem a bit small.
Our public school request that we purchase namebrand school supplies so that we do not have to replace item(s) part way through the school year.
My son''s school did that too. When we went to meet the teacher night most of his classmates had bought cheaper school supplies(which is what I would have done but they stressed certain names,sizes and counts.Some I had to order and pay more for).

Try the black Ticonderoga pencils with black erasers. I like them the best. The eraser is great! Tfs
I’ll keep an eye out for them!
Love trapper keepers. I especially loved getting all of my Lisa Frank folders, etc.
Oh my - I LOVED Lisa Frank Stationary, pencils, erasers. We would trade them at school. I remember the cute little puppies.
Oh My God!!!! The temptation to buy it all... All of it... You are so good just showing us around. I would have been like 'I want this, I want that, I want it all...'
I definitely thought it A LOT!! I LOVE school supplies!
I can’t believe it is already back to school season for most. We homeschool and school all year round but I love the deals this time of year lol.
We do too! It’s so nice to get school supplies for a good price this time of year!
Love your sense of humor and sensible suggestions as well! I’m subscribing to your channel. Thanks!
So glad you’re here!! 😊❤️
If you go to Meijer their school supplies are on sale. My granddaughter is only 2 so I stock up so she always has enough to color with and it's cheaper than paying full price
I graduated before most everyone here was born! I, too, still love school supplies! Great video! ❤

Yikes. That’s a lot to keep up with.
I love shopping with you Megan. Ty for taking me alone. I look forward to next time.
I’m so glad you come along with me!! 😊

Remind me, what was your major?

When I was a kid in the '70s, we had notebooks, pens & crayons. What a different world it is today!
No one’s alive from the 70s I’m pretty sure
I love all things school/office supplies and I graduated in 1999 - our class motto - we're the best of all time, we're the class of '99! LOL
Love that!
Good morning and happy Monday great shopping vlog 👍❤️thanks for the walkthrough
Wow things are different. Graduated in 1990.. used love to shop for school supplies ❤
I graduated in 87. Great year. My daughter in 11.

Yes, I totally remember the tv being wheeled in!
They do have a lot more cute school supplies now a days then when I was in school. 😢❤
Same!
I’m dying at your locker combo dream. My school dream is that I’ve forgotten to go to school and I can’t remember my schedule but I never think to go to the office and ask 😂
Aren’t those the worst dreams? 🤪
Graduated in 86. Love gel pens!!
I graduated in '86.😳 We had all very plain everything. So much to choose from now.
I graduated in 1999. No shame!! I’d love to get that 100 pack of slim tip markers for adult coloring books!
Yes!! I have yet to do the Adult coloring books, but I think it would be fun!
Hi megan thanks for showing us school supplies I left hand too
Gotta love the lefties!
I graduated in 1966. 😮
Graduated 1990 oh such a great time to remember because at times adulting is too much 😂😂
Could not agree more!! 😂😂
I started school in the sixties and I graduated in 1981 and we had plain Jane spirals. Not anything like nowadays.
I also have dreams that it's the first day of high school and I either can't find my locker, can't open it, don't know my class schedule, or all of the above lol. I graduated in 2011.
It’s the worst, isn’t?! 😴😬📚
I am traditional pencil all the way. My kids - mechanical. 😂
Sure, I graduated 1998. LOL. We did have excitement. We had trapper keepers. I about died when they came back. My girls were not impressed. 😢😂
Kids these days. 😂😂
Thank you! This was so helpful 😊.
I'm so glad!
I graduated in 1981 we had your generic pens,pencils, notebooks . The world of school supplies has come along way since then.
Agreed!
I have a love of note books and gell pens and get new ones every year (mot that I need them) I just have to stay in uni but not sure what to do after this year as I'm about to finish my masters would it be to much to do a PhD just to keep with the back to school tradition of buying note books and gell pens. Haha
I mean… no. No, that’s not unreasonable. 😂😂😂
Congratulations on nearly finishing your masters!! That’s amazing. ❤️😊 probably all those gel pens and notebooks that got you through.
I label, label, label. My junior high daughter thinks that I am insane. 😂 I tell her, "I like to be organized."
I love the labeled life!
Keep journal in a steno pad. Keep a record of meds etc.

The Happy Planners do seem amazing!
