And med lab techs too! A lot of us carry around a lot of special pens that we love and supply ourselves. The office supplies that are supplied are crap. Papermate and generic stuff.
@@EmelyPhan probably a lot of the same. We use a lot of sharpie/permanent marker extra fine pens for labelling stuff. I’m a fan of Sarasa and Uniball signos for basic everyday pens.
I thought of healthcare as a separate major from science. My stationery needs for health sciences (biology, anatomy, physiology) differed from the physical sciences I also needed (chemistry and physics). I needed more colors for diagrams, and I used many colors of the Zebra Sarasa gel pens for note-taking and studying. You had some sticky notes, but I needed a TON of tape flags and page points for marking in textbooks and notebooks.
Custom keyboards are the "school supplies" for CS or CE majors. Though I'll still never leave for class without Tombow black plastic erasers and a Zirconium Tactile Turn pencil on me. Stationery is so nice.
Environmental Science majors next!!!

@@natmickan It usually means college students who are not the typical age. So, usually in the USA, people ~traditionally~ start college when they’re around 18. I’m 36, and I’ve met students who were even older. This is much more common in community colleges (which is where I’m going) than in universities. Sometimes Non-trad students are parents or even retired people who are going back to college to finish a degree they had to drop when they had kids, or even are looking for an entire career change. I’ve also met non-trad students who were immigrants or army vets. Every non-trad students’ story is different! But basically, we’re old fogies. 😜

One for Architecture students -- might be a hybrid of the Engineering, Business and Art sets, but it would be great to see how you can make a distinct set for Architecture.
Architecture and design students would need a dedicated video! Fineliners pens, pencils, erasers, Copic markers, steel ruler, T-square, post-its, drawing paper, trace paper, loose paper storage, journals, masking tape, pins, caffeine pills, drawing board, poster storage, and a dozen other things I've since forgotten since those days at uni. Would love to see what Jetpens can pull together for the aspiring designer.
Yeah, I think all STEM majors really like the mech pencils w built in large, twist up erasers. Having a separate large eraser is good, but having a built in one is better.
i think you should cover humanities! I'm a sociology and aquatic biology student (a double major, ripp) so I'd love to see maybe some general kit ideas or a set good for both? or just for humanities, since thats what i seem to do the most :')
What about design majors (ie. interior design, arch, industrial design, graphic design etc)? I am curious in seeing what they come up with cause I have a design diploma.
the mnemosyne notebook is sadly not suited for lab use. The most important tool in any lab is the journal. Everything you do needs to be documented in a journal with non removable and numbered pages.
As someone who retired from a business where I prepared bids for our company I don't think you can do better than a Pilot Metropolitan mechanical pencil.
Meanwhile, as a composer, I have a BUNCH of fountain pens, a couple manuscript notebooks, and a burning desire for fountain pen friendly music paper. I guess you could do a music major one?
Oooooh I am very curious: do any of your pens have a music nib? Is that actually useful for composing or have the nibs changed? Not a composer, but a choir nerd 😁 and stationery lover.
@@lefthandedclogger technically, the Noodler's Triple Tail is my only music nib (with 2 slits, 3 tines). I do use stub/italic nibs for composing, and I have an architect nib that's good for that too. I want to get a Franklin-Christoph music nib at some point.
Any recommendations for manuscript paper? I had a brand I loved (cream colored with green staves - pencil marks absolutely popped off the page) but it is no longer made.
@@rebeccawilkinson1846 Hmm...it depends on what you want. If you are not using fountain pen, there are many options. The Archives brand paper looks pretty good and has cream colored paper. I think D'addario makes it?

As a former IT student I didn't need much stationary. Didn't stop my pencil case overflowing goodies though (many from my former design degree)! All I had was an A5 sketch pad, fineliners, pencils, eraser and whiteboard markers.
Accounting and tax law, please. Pens that write quickly with good, fast drying ink flow, tabs that can be moved are see through and you can write on them, erasable pens, highlighters that don't bleed or mess up printer ink, notebooks for organization. Staplers, clips, correction tape, sticky notes! Oh and I'm left handed.
Lefty here! I didn’t major in those fields but I do love stationery! Top pen picks for me: pentel energel or zebra sarasa for gel pen, uni jetstream for a ballpoint, frixion highlighters and pens - both erasable, as lefties tend to accidentally over-highlight!
What about film, animation, and other visual media majors? We need stuff for notes during lectures, drawing storyboards, sketchbooks for concept art…and some of us (coughMecough) like to take notes and draw sketches while they’re watching movies and documentaries.
If you get one graph and one blank Mnemosyne you’re set! A plastic cover with a sturdy cardboard back (I add a bulldog or giant binding clip to turn it into a clipboard), smooth pages with perforation and labels, and they lay flat for scanning. They’re pretty big though so I have a tiny Rhodia or Leuchtturm that lives in my pocket and goes everywhere with me. If you number the pages you can reference back and forth between all three! I also have a Kuru Toga pencil, a Pilot Kakuno and a Pentel brush pen at all times - you might want to have a grey marker like a Tombow for shading too, especially if you like copying movie frames. My animation teacher also used a music notebook for planning short films - you can time your frames to dialogue or sound with it and it’s an amazing trick! Sorry for the novel, I got excited by your question 😅
Perfect timing i was looking at school supplies a week or two before school ended and i was tempted on getting more for crafts vs actual supplies (which i may still need)
As an anthropology major, I'd love to see recommendations for someone who studies/works in the social sciences and in the field (like archaeology, environmental sciences, etc). Durable tools that take you from field to classroom or office. Portability, multifunctional, MEASURING TOOLS
med students: parchment paper that you found in your bag and a pen borrowed from the hospital secretary. Nobody is going to understand your notes, including yourself anyway
1:56 I didn't quite make it into Pi Epsilon Nu Honor Society myself (I had some railroading on my fountain-pen final). But we were all very proud of Sarah when she did, as was the whole town of Pencil-"Where grades matter." Since you have word cards and steno-lined pads (good for vocabulary), highlighters for color coding, progress planners for Gantt charts, and other products that are good for language learning, how about foreign-language major for a sequel video?
You greatly overlooked how much reports and assignment papers we engineers submit. Our best friends most of the time are staplers, hole punchers and ruler
Colored pens made a huge difference in my physics based engineering classes like statics. Being able to differentiate between what information on a problem is given and what needed calculated myself made it easy to follow the steps on how to solve a problem.
As a geology/geophysics major (now working in the profession ), my pen case looks the most like the engineers but I used a a lead holder/sharpener for mapping and homework back in the day, colored pencils/highlighter pencils for color coding notes and coloring maps and graph paper notebooks. Most of us have a secret hoard of prismacolors in our desks ❤️😃
You should definitely make a part 2 since when it comes to my degree (translation and interpreting) i can say that people who study languages in college always need to use colors in class. We rely on vibrant colors for highlighting especially grammatical structures, rules and exemption in the language we study
Next year I'll be starting Medieval English Literature, and I have to say you just about nailed the literature one I think. The fountainpen for daily use, the ballpen for quick notes, the notebooks. And the brass accessories, I didn't know about these yet but now that I've seen it I kinda need them. I thank you for showing them to me, my bank account doesn't ;-)
I'd be interested in seeing what products best fit or you would recommend to someone majoring in Horticulture. I tend to work around a lot of different substrates, dirt, and water. Plus sometimes I have to design an exterior space. (Landscaping design) I'd love to see which products would be beneficial in these situations.
Computer science major: taking notes in class (I still do it by hand, but many also use their laptops), lots of assignments to keep track of, and always need to have a way to write down sudden 'oh that's how I fix that bug' ideas since those happen at the weirdest times and places. I myself use twsbi eco fountain pens combined with a kokuyo campus binder set (1 slider, 1 notebook like one) so I have 1 notebook for all my notes and can keep notes of previous courses organised at home. In the binder is some weekly planner paper, for keeping track of assignments, and dotted line paper so I can draw tables. Computer science books are scarce but when I have them it's for an open book exam without any notes (only plain sticky notes) allowed in the book. As a general planner I have the hobonichi techo in A5 because then I can keep track of my daily todos as well as my schedule.
You should make a video about stationary supplies for teachers as well. We have to carry lots of "weapon of mass education", USB for data backup, different colour pens for marking tests, or even laptops, around.
Linguistics would be fun to see: syntax, phonology, and morphology can be very formulaic like a science/math hybrid with elements of anthropology, sociology, psychology, and even computing when you include computer languages/programs.
Computer Science/IT? Yes we do many things online and on computers but some of us still love our stationery and use it for quick notes etc. Or maybe cool things that work well with digital tools as well?
That was a good call to recommend Maruman gridded notebooks for Math majors. I was a Statistics major myself, and before the video hit the math section, I immediately thought Maruman would do well because it's gridded and perforated (I have one myself, but the Mnemosyne). I also have an Apica CD gridded in A4 size, and that works perfectly too. Being a Stat major really fueled my stationary junkie lifestyle, because you actually do need a lot of different colored pens for 3D Calculus mostly, but just in general the best way to take notes in a theoretical mathematics class is to have different lighter colors to use for guide arrows or asides/comments. So I think Zebra Sarasa or Pilot Juicy pens should have been included in the recommendation. Lastly, practice exercises are really important in mathematics and statistics, so I used up a lot of yellow pad. I would recommend Veco Block Pad now especially to fountain pen users. And the big pencil case because you have a calculator was true for me as well. But any good backpack or laptop bag with a phone slot will do just nicely, and I've seen this more commonly with my peers. As a general recommendation to anyone who takes notes daily, even throughout adulthood, I would say keep a TWSBI with you in the nib size that's most suited to your handwriting size, and load it up with Caran D'Ache Infinite Grey, because it's highlighter-resistant. It's a color that's not super black and harsh, so it's really easy to write fast notes with because it's light on the eyes and low-commitment feeling like pencil. Then keep a pack of a few highlighters in complimentary colors that make best sense for your system. That's my daily carry along with my Maruman Mnemosyne (gridded, A5) when I can't carry everything else. I always have this in my laptop bag or purse.
As an artist, I’ve tried several different pencil brands to find out what I like. Staedtler Mars and Faber Castell 9000 are both pretty good, but so far my favorite brand is one you don’t seem to carry: Derwent Graphic pencils. They are so nice to work with, they are smooth, but with just enough feedback that they don’t feel slippery, even in the softest grades. I’m also a huge fan of the Watersoluble Sketching pencils by Derwent, highly recommend water soluble graphite for artists, so beautiful! I haven’t really tried other brands to compare on that, but I bet they are all at least fairly similar to the Derwent brand ones, so Mars or Faber Castell are likely at least similarly good! 👍 Very nice for quick tone studies! Also less messy than smudging traditional graphite for the people who don’t like the mess of graphite. Water soluble graphite binds a little better to the paper if you get it wet. They also work exactly like traditional graphite in case you need to work in traditional methods for classes or something! Nice to have!
I want to recommend the KUM sharpener. I picked one up about a month ago, and it works really well. It creates a truly amazing long point as well as sharpens my 2.0mm leads. I've found softer lead pencils hard to sharpen without breaking the lead, but the KUM hasn't damaged a 4 or 6B lead yet when sharpening. Oh, and the long point is so different than normal that people are actually shocked when they see it, which is fun!
Graphic Design for Print majors do a lot with art and math so that images are sharp and clean. Being able to use really fine pens and pencils is a must for sketching designs for clients. Architect majors are a combination of Art, Science, and Math.
As a civil engineering grad, the draft pencils aren't really in use much bc drafting is mostly done in CAD programs now. I think the better recommendations would be a mix of the the math and science major recommendations. For pencils in engr, w all the math and erasing in most classes, I'd recommend the pencils w large, twist up erasers: Kokuyo FitCurve, Tombow Mono Graph, Pentel Twist-Erase, Papermate Clearpointe, Sakura Sumo Grip, or the Faber-Castell Grip Plus. For rulers, I can't buy rulers from JetPens bc they're all in metric. Unfortunately, STEM majors in the US have to use both. I didn't think any ruler would have both, but I randomly found a clear, grid style ruler (my fav style) w both measurement styles at a Taiwanese bookstore last yr. Not sure which is the brand name, but it had "Joy Star" and "字The WORDS 器" printed on it. Not sure if u guys would consider carrying it or finding smth similar, but I'm sure ur US customers would appreciate it.
Love this brand! Been getting my school supplies from here since my freshman year of hs, so sad that this'll be my last year getting my back to school jet pens package
I'm a business major (Supply Chain). I use Kokuyo's slide binder for holding all my notes. Preferred writing gear is a Pentel Graph 1000 and a Pilot Kakuno Fine-tip fountain pen.
Hey I'm a materials science and engineering student, and I would point out that the sakura micron pens are great for lab journals as their ink is resistant to virtually any spills. I would also love to hear which notebook you recommend as a lab journal, and point out that engineering and science students can often make good use of some sort of coloured pens as they are nice for drawing different force vectors in physics. I really liked the horizontal notebook! Erasable pens such as the frixion pens are a lifesaver in science and engineering, and often preferred over mechanical pencils though I do love the look of a rotring or something similar.
for art i have a recommendation for wooden pencils... the Mont Marte graphite pencils are really dark with the Mitsubishi Uni hard to find here in the philipines its a really good alternative since its even *D A R K E R* it looks like charcoal i also recommend the Faber Castell 9000 and Goldfaber and for sketchbooks for pricey people the Canson XL for low budget people the Strathmore
please do architecture major... I believe they need almost all the supplies mentioned here but please include the ones that are specific like pens for tracing sheets and butter sheets...
I'm ab artist, I have alot of things needed whenever I had inspiration and else. I have a little pencil case but only sketch pencik and bolder pencil with only one eraser and some pencil leads for the mechanical pencils
I built my own economic keyboard as a computer science major to make sure my hands were comfy after long programming sessions, but I noticed that my basic cheap pencils weren't good for all my writing either in my calculus classes so I had to get some good ones from jetpens. Also those Japanese sliding binders are so much better than the crappy 3 ring metal ones we have in the US.
Honestly, I am taking almost all my notes on my IPad, but I also do love stationnaries. Especially, as a math/physics/engineering student, I sometimes can’t use the IPad (ie in practical work, or in a workshop, too dangerous) so having good stationnaries for these pparticular situations is important.
I’m actually going into a healthcare program with a minor in a foreign language. I use so many sticky notes in my textbooks and erasable pens and highlighters. Do you guys have any other recommendations for either a language learner or healthcare learner?
Great video, love the suggestions. Regarding a future video, perhaps it could be like a traveler's notebook??? For example: Looking for a notebook and pen like in "Indiana Jones 3: Last Crusade" that is design for lasting longer; or something more simpler like a pencil and notebook from the movie "Burnt" for a quick write of what's in your mind.
A video for woodworker stationary? Believe it or not woodworker use a lot of stationery: mechanical pencil, ruler 📏, permanent marker , protractor etc .
What about music majors? What would we need to compose music, or annotate the music in the margins? What about storing and organizing the (very lengthy) sheet music?

What about film, animation, and other visual media majors? We need stuff for notes during lectures, drawing storyboards, sketchbooks for concept art…and some of us (coughMecough) like to take notes and draw sketches while they’re watching movies and documentaries.
If you get one graph and one blank Mnemosyne you’re set! A plastic cover with a sturdy cardboard back (I add a bulldog or giant binding clip to turn it into a clipboard), smooth pages with perforation and labels, and they lay flat for scanning. They’re pretty big though so I have a tiny Rhodia or Leuchtturm that lives in my pocket and goes everywhere with me. If you number the pages you can reference back and forth between all three! I also have a Kuru Toga pencil, a Pilot Kakuno and a Pentel brush pen at all times - you might want to have a grey marker like a Tombow for shading too, especially if you like copying movie frames. My animation teacher also used a music notebook for planning short films - you can time your frames to dialogue or sound with it and it’s an amazing trick! Sorry for the novel, I got excited by your question 😅
@@perevision Oh wow, thanks for all the suggestions! No need to be sorry, I love talking stationary and note-taking. 😆
How about History, Communications, Political Science and/or Journalism as majors? All heavy on the stationary use!
I would LOVE see you doing a part 2 with supplies for Music Students!!!
Perfect timing i was looking at school supplies a week or two before school ended and i was tempted on getting more for crafts vs actual supplies (which i may still need)
As an anthropology major, I'd love to see recommendations for someone who studies/works in the social sciences and in the field (like archaeology, environmental sciences, etc). Durable tools that take you from field to classroom or office. Portability, multifunctional, MEASURING TOOLS
Yes, yes please. Notebooks and supplies that are weather proof would be soo sweet
med students: parchment paper that you found in your bag and a pen borrowed from the hospital secretary. Nobody is going to understand your notes, including yourself anyway
relax, with patients I always try to make as legible as possible...it never gets pretty, but you can actually read it LOL
Love the way how you guys created aesthetic
Wow, you covered all the ones I need gifts for art, library, math, science/lab. Thank you.
This was awesome thanks!
Ideas for law school would be great.
1:56 I didn't quite make it into Pi Epsilon Nu Honor Society myself (I had some railroading on my fountain-pen final). But we were all very proud of Sarah when she did, as was the whole town of Pencil-"Where grades matter."
Since you have word cards and steno-lined pads (good for vocabulary), highlighters for color coding, progress planners for Gantt charts, and other products that are good for language learning, how about foreign-language major for a sequel video?
You greatly overlooked how much reports and assignment papers we engineers submit. Our best friends most of the time are staplers, hole punchers and ruler
Colored pens made a huge difference in my physics based engineering classes like statics. Being able to differentiate between what information on a problem is given and what needed calculated myself made it easy to follow the steps on how to solve a problem.
Music majors will always love good lead pencils and mechanical pens. We take a LOT of notes in rehearsals :)
Education or History majors next! Considering I’m a double major it will be perfect either way!
Please do Political Science and Pre Law majors!! Stationary is key for both of those!!
As a geology/geophysics major (now working in the profession ), my pen case looks the most like the engineers but I used a a lead holder/sharpener for mapping and homework back in the day, colored pencils/highlighter pencils for color coding notes and coloring maps and graph paper notebooks. Most of us have a secret hoard of prismacolors in our desks ❤️😃
I think you should make a video on the different bags you guys offer and which one would suit different styles of students
You should definitely make a part 2 since when it comes to my degree (translation and interpreting) i can say that people who study languages in college always need to use colors in class. We rely on vibrant colors for highlighting especially grammatical structures, rules and exemption in the language we study
JetPens happened after I finished college, so I am interested what good pens and paper you would recommend for Creative Writing majors =3
Next year I'll be starting Medieval English Literature, and I have to say you just about nailed the literature one I think. The fountainpen for daily use, the ballpen for quick notes, the notebooks. And the brass accessories, I didn't know about these yet but now that I've seen it I kinda need them. I thank you for showing them to me, my bank account doesn't ;-)
definitely need an excellent pencil for annotating texts as a literature major!
Business and Literature looks so aesthetic and professional 🌟
I'd be interested in seeing what products best fit or you would recommend to someone majoring in Horticulture. I tend to work around a lot of different substrates, dirt, and water. Plus sometimes I have to design an exterior space. (Landscaping design) I'd love to see which products would be beneficial in these situations.
Please also add the statiomeey for students of humanities and education.
Computer science major: taking notes in class (I still do it by hand, but many also use their laptops), lots of assignments to keep track of, and always need to have a way to write down sudden 'oh that's how I fix that bug' ideas since those happen at the weirdest times and places.
I myself use twsbi eco fountain pens combined with a kokuyo campus binder set (1 slider, 1 notebook like one) so I have 1 notebook for all my notes and can keep notes of previous courses organised at home. In the binder is some weekly planner paper, for keeping track of assignments, and dotted line paper so I can draw tables. Computer science books are scarce but when I have them it's for an open book exam without any notes (only plain sticky notes) allowed in the book. As a general planner I have the hobonichi techo in A5 because then I can keep track of my daily todos as well as my schedule.
I wonder what a music major should have? I wish we had as many cool manuscript paper options as language, math, and science majors do!
yes yes, obviously a part-2 (or more) needed. can you suggest some cool (& of course functional) things for Geography & Geology students?
as a world languages & linguistics major I use the Raymay Card Memo on Ring as flashcards for terms and concepts!
You should make a video about stationary supplies for teachers as well. We have to carry lots of "weapon of mass education", USB for data backup, different colour pens for marking tests, or even laptops, around.
Linguistics would be fun to see: syntax, phonology, and morphology can be very formulaic like a science/math hybrid with elements of anthropology, sociology, psychology, and even computing when you include computer languages/programs.
This was timely and awesome!
Love you Jet Pens!!
Computer Science/IT? Yes we do many things online and on computers but some of us still love our stationery and use it for quick notes etc. Or maybe cool things that work well with digital tools as well?
That was a good call to recommend Maruman gridded notebooks for Math majors. I was a Statistics major myself, and before the video hit the math section, I immediately thought Maruman would do well because it's gridded and perforated (I have one myself, but the Mnemosyne). I also have an Apica CD gridded in A4 size, and that works perfectly too. Being a Stat major really fueled my stationary junkie lifestyle, because you actually do need a lot of different colored pens for 3D Calculus mostly, but just in general the best way to take notes in a theoretical mathematics class is to have different lighter colors to use for guide arrows or asides/comments. So I think Zebra Sarasa or Pilot Juicy pens should have been included in the recommendation. Lastly, practice exercises are really important in mathematics and statistics, so I used up a lot of yellow pad. I would recommend Veco Block Pad now especially to fountain pen users. And the big pencil case because you have a calculator was true for me as well. But any good backpack or laptop bag with a phone slot will do just nicely, and I've seen this more commonly with my peers.
As a general recommendation to anyone who takes notes daily, even throughout adulthood, I would say keep a TWSBI with you in the nib size that's most suited to your handwriting size, and load it up with Caran D'Ache Infinite Grey, because it's highlighter-resistant. It's a color that's not super black and harsh, so it's really easy to write fast notes with because it's light on the eyes and low-commitment feeling like pencil. Then keep a pack of a few highlighters in complimentary colors that make best sense for your system. That's my daily carry along with my Maruman Mnemosyne (gridded, A5) when I can't carry everything else. I always have this in my laptop bag or purse.
I like cute school supplies because I think they help me to do my study but I haven't been to college yet. I'm just a secondary 3💕
This is the best video I never knew I needed. This is a prerequisite
As an artist, I’ve tried several different pencil brands to find out what I like. Staedtler Mars and Faber Castell 9000 are both pretty good, but so far my favorite brand is one you don’t seem to carry: Derwent Graphic pencils. They are so nice to work with, they are smooth, but with just enough feedback that they don’t feel slippery, even in the softest grades. I’m also a huge fan of the Watersoluble Sketching pencils by Derwent, highly recommend water soluble graphite for artists, so beautiful! I haven’t really tried other brands to compare on that, but I bet they are all at least fairly similar to the Derwent brand ones, so Mars or Faber Castell are likely at least similarly good! 👍 Very nice for quick tone studies! Also less messy than smudging traditional graphite for the people who don’t like the mess of graphite. Water soluble graphite binds a little better to the paper if you get it wet. They also work exactly like traditional graphite in case you need to work in traditional methods for classes or something! Nice to have!
I want to recommend the KUM sharpener. I picked one up about a month ago, and it works really well. It creates a truly amazing long point as well as sharpens my 2.0mm leads. I've found softer lead pencils hard to sharpen without breaking the lead, but the KUM hasn't damaged a 4 or 6B lead yet when sharpening. Oh, and the long point is so different than normal that people are actually shocked when they see it, which is fun!
Graphic Design for Print majors do a lot with art and math so that images are sharp and clean. Being able to use really fine pens and pencils is a must for sketching designs for clients.
Architect majors are a combination of Art, Science, and Math.
As a civil engineering grad, the draft pencils aren't really in use much bc drafting is mostly done in CAD programs now. I think the better recommendations would be a mix of the the math and science major recommendations.
For pencils in engr, w all the math and erasing in most classes, I'd recommend the pencils w large, twist up erasers: Kokuyo FitCurve, Tombow Mono Graph, Pentel Twist-Erase, Papermate Clearpointe, Sakura Sumo Grip, or the Faber-Castell Grip Plus.
For rulers, I can't buy rulers from JetPens bc they're all in metric. Unfortunately, STEM majors in the US have to use both. I didn't think any ruler would have both, but I randomly found a clear, grid style ruler (my fav style) w both measurement styles at a Taiwanese bookstore last yr. Not sure which is the brand name, but it had "Joy Star" and "字The WORDS 器" printed on it. Not sure if u guys would consider carrying it or finding smth similar, but I'm sure ur US customers would appreciate it.
I love the pentel twist erase, because of the large eraser, and the metal tip!!!
As a literature major this is embarrassingly accurate 😶
This video is incredible!
Love this brand! Been getting my school supplies from here since my freshman year of hs, so sad that this'll be my last year getting my back to school jet pens package
Very useful video! ✨
I'm surprised by how helpful this is as a freshman going into college soon
I'm a business major (Supply Chain). I use Kokuyo's slide binder for holding all my notes. Preferred writing gear is a Pentel Graph 1000 and a Pilot Kakuno Fine-tip fountain pen.
this video is so helpful please make a part 2
I need that sharpener! As an art major? Do you have any water brushes?
Hey I'm a materials science and engineering student, and I would point out that the sakura micron pens are great for lab journals as their ink is resistant to virtually any spills. I would also love to hear which notebook you recommend as a lab journal, and point out that engineering and science students can often make good use of some sort of coloured pens as they are nice for drawing different force vectors in physics. I really liked the horizontal notebook! Erasable pens such as the frixion pens are a lifesaver in science and engineering, and often preferred over mechanical pencils though I do love the look of a rotring or something similar.
They look so cool
Please do a video about students with Information Technology (IT) as their major...we don't use much stationary...but we cherish the little we do...
for art i have a recommendation for wooden pencils... the Mont Marte graphite pencils are really dark with the Mitsubishi Uni hard to find here in the philipines its a really good alternative since its even *D A R K E R* it looks like charcoal i also recommend the Faber Castell 9000 and Goldfaber and for sketchbooks for pricey people the Canson XL for low budget people the Strathmore
please do architecture major... I believe they need almost all the supplies mentioned here but please include the ones that are specific like pens for tracing sheets and butter sheets...
I'm ab artist, I have alot of things needed whenever I had inspiration and else. I have a little pencil case but only sketch pencik and bolder pencil with only one eraser and some pencil leads for the mechanical pencils
Psychology!! We need one!!
Outtakes are the best please
I built my own economic keyboard as a computer science major to make sure my hands were comfy after long programming sessions, but I noticed that my basic cheap pencils weren't good for all my writing either in my calculus classes so I had to get some good ones from jetpens. Also those Japanese sliding binders are so much better than the crappy 3 ring metal ones we have in the US.
Education/teacher specific supplies!
I’d love to see what y’all would recommend for people who major in game development & music
Education major would have crayons!
I wish I knew about this store when I was in school! I love Jetpens! Maybe I will go back to school, lol!
As a Business Administration major… completely accurate I only thing I’m missing is the folder but I usually keep papers in my journal lol
Honestly, I am taking almost all my notes on my IPad, but I also do love stationnaries. Especially, as a math/physics/engineering student, I sometimes can’t use the IPad (ie in practical work, or in a workshop, too dangerous) so having good stationnaries for these pparticular situations is important.
What about educators/teachers-in-training? Items that help with staying organized with multiple students, projects, etc.
I’m actually going into a healthcare program with a minor in a foreign language. I use so many sticky notes in my textbooks and erasable pens and highlighters. Do you guys have any other recommendations for either a language learner or healthcare learner?
Great video, love the suggestions.
Regarding a future video, perhaps it could be like a traveler's notebook??? For example: Looking for a notebook and pen like in "Indiana Jones 3: Last Crusade" that is design for lasting longer; or something more simpler like a pencil and notebook from the movie "Burnt" for a quick write of what's in your mind.
A video for woodworker stationary? Believe it or not woodworker use a lot of stationery: mechanical pencil, ruler 📏, permanent marker , protractor etc .
I prefer to use Rotring for technical/engineering drawing. When I do it by hand.
What about music majors? What would we need to compose music, or annotate the music in the margins? What about storing and organizing the (very lengthy) sheet music?
Please do Pychology majors please! I'm already done with my finals as a freshman!
