The iconic yellow Ticonderoga #2 has pretty much become the pencil of choice among students and teachers alike. While it may seem like technology is rendering old-school writing utensils obsolete, students still need pencils to scribble down notes, take quizzes, and complete homework assignments. Because pencils can easily chip, break, or get lost, it's worth getting a bunch so you don't ever have to worry about being pencil-less for your next math quiz.
Right now, the best deal for stocking up on pencils is at Amazon or Walmart.

BIC's ballpoint pens set the standard with a comfortable grip and ink that writes smoothly. The only negative is that these can run out of ink quickly — especially if you like to doodle in the margins — so it's worth it to buy them in bulk. That way, you won't feel bad if you lose them or share them with your classmates, either.

Post-it notes come in handy for everything from sticking notes in your textbooks to studying for exams, and since they're (pretty much) single-use, you'll need a bunch. There are plenty of Post-it bulk options, but a 24-pack should be more than enough. If you use them more often, you can get an even bigger pack.

A composition notebook is a classic choice. Wide-ruled pages offer plenty of space to take notes, create lab reports, and learn how to write in cursive. If you don't end up needing all three for school, keep one for next year — chances are you'll need it eventually. Composition notebooks work just as well as DIY planners to organize your school schedule and journals for doodling drawings and writing down random thoughts.

I always liked the colorful three-ring binders, but when it comes down to it, these simple white ones are just as practical. The inside can hold about 125 sheets of paper and both the front and back have a clear overlay for customization. These come in handy for big school projects like poetry portfolios or scrap-booking assignments, but otherwise they're great as regular subject binders, too.
