hello, it's seo from tbhstudying and I'm here to show you guys
what was in my pencil case from first semester of college and what
I'm going to use in second semester. I'll start off with what I used in first semester
I've been using this delde sunstar sliding pen pouch for first semester
and it's also the same pencil case that I used in high school as well
it can hold a lot of pens and I also kept a small muji case inside to keep smaller items like my
eraser and my pencil lead for things that got easily lost inside the deeper pen pouch. I'm not gonna lie
I carried around a lot of different pens and highlighters
So having this with the large capacity was really nice to just hold everything in one place, you know
I also really love this pencil case because it stands up on its own and lets you see everything inside at one glance
This sliding mechanism is also really unique and fun to use
the specific one that I have is limited edition, though
But I'll link a similar one in the description below
The black pens that I carried around were the pilot juice pen in point 5 in blue black, the uniball signo
needlepoint in 0.38, the dong-a q-knock pen in 0.5 and
the dong-a speedy ballpoint pen in 0.7
if you guys have seen my Instagram stories then you know that I went through black pen sooooooo
ridiculously quickly during first semester. I used well over, I think
20 to 30 black pens alone
so these pens were pens that I was trying to use up rather than pens that I actually enjoyed using
I personally prefer zebra sarasa pens over pilot juice pens and
I dislike the feeling of this particular needlepoint pen
So I'm hoping to use these up pretty quickly
I did enjoy using the dong-a q-knock pen, though
and I kept the ballpoint pen in my pencil case for my job because the type of
material that I write on during my library cataloging job tends to smear really easily when I use gel pen
So I just have to use ballpoint pen for that, and that's why I have that!
I also carried around two mechanical pencils
the uni alpha gel slim and the kokuyo campus fit curve, both in 0.5
I like the alpha gel mechanical pencil because of the squishy grip
and I prefer the slim one much more than the original version
because the original version is way too thick for my hand
The kokuyo campus also has the same issue as the original version of this gel pencil
The grip is just a bit too wide for my personal taste
But I like how the eraser component in the kokuyo campus one is big and twistable and refillable
I carried a lot of highlighters around -
This is actually kind of crazy to look at. I didn't realize I was carrying around this many
But yeah, I prefer using highlighters more than colored pens
I have the kokuyo beetle tip soft duo color in the colors blue and orange
They're in the same pen, which I find really convenient because it's two colors in one pun
The dong-a twinliner in yellow and grey, the dong-a miffy in pink and green
The miffy one is really fun because it's scented and I always like that.
It's just a fun scent, it's a fun highlighter!
and then after that,
I have the uni propus soft color in purple and the mildliner in gray
Before you all come at me for having two greys, they're different shades of grey
Okay, they may not be fifty shades of grey but they're different, I promise you
My favorite highlighter currently is the pink miffy highlighter
But if you can't find that, the stabilo swing cool in pastel pink is a closest color that I found
But the stabilo highlighters can bleed through paper much easier
Whereas the miffy one has never bled through any paper for me
But don't get the stabilo boss highlighter in the pastel pink
That one has an even harsher bleed-through than the swing cool version
as for coloured pens
I kept the uni signo gold, the pilot g2 in silver, and two muji capped gel ink pens in light blue and light red
Like I said before, I don't really use colored pens as much as I do highlighters
But I kept the muji pens for drawing diagrams in my bio class
and the gold and silver pens for decorating my bullet journal spreads
These muji pens are admittedly doing this weird thing where the ink doesn't want to come out anymore
even when I try to do the steam trick, or if I leave them overnight with the tips pointing down
at least it's better than the inconsistent blobbing that they used to do which muji capped gel ink pens do tend to do
Even the new version of the retractable ones are better than the capped gel pens that I have right now
But I just think it's because how old they are
I believe these are well over two or three years old maybe so that might be the reason why and
finally the two brush pens
I keep with me are the pentel fude touch food brush pens in grey and black
They're good small brush pens that are user-friendly and are pretty consistent
I like the flexibility of these tips more than the tombow fudenosuke in the
Hard or soft tips. I think those are the two different kinds
They look like navy blue and dark black in terms of the barrels for the tombow fudenosukes
I will admit that the soft tip tombow fudenosuke is nice for lining things
But I do prefer the pentels for calligraphy
the muji pen case holds my tombow mono eraser, which remains my favorite eraser to this day.
I also keep my tombow mono correction tape and my dong-a ceramic gold 0.5 pencil lead in there
So I don't lose it in the deep pencil pouch. I don't really care too much about pencil lead brands
This just happens to be the one that I have because my grandma bought me a bunch from Korea
So these are just the ones I happen to have
now for second semester
I don't need to carry as many pens with me because I'm planning to transition to digital notes
and I sort of already have done that already towards the latter half of first semester
Jetpens was kind enough to gift me items to start off my second semester pencil case with
if you don't know, Jetpens is an amazing stationery shop that I always
buy from like you guys have seen me do a lot of
stationery hauls and things like that and most of the items that I do get are from there
the tombow dual brush pens that I have are all individually bought from there
as well as a lot of my more niche stationery items
It's just all around a really good site
And I really enjoy all the variety of items that they have and it's just fun to look through
So thank you very much to Jetpens and stay tuned till the end of the video for a fun little giveaway
Anyhow, I'm using a pencil case from the same brand as my last one
But this time it's the delde sunstar flat pouch
This holds a smaller amount of pens on my other one, but the quality is just as wonderful
It's sort of that lovely shade of light pink that I really enjoyed in my last one
but this one has this little magnet clip thing on the sides
to help keep the pencil keys propped up and open when you want it to
Which is so convenient and it's much slimmer than my sliding pen case
Jetpens sent me a set of the vintage zebra sarasa pens, which I'm so excited about you guys have no idea.
i adore zebra sarasa pens so much more than the pilot juice pens
and I really wanted to have more of sort of those
darker muted colors to use because they're still
usable to write the main body of your notes with because they're dark enough
But they're still sort of unique in that they have a different shade of darkness to them, if you know what I mean
So I'm excited to use these for my lab
reports and books and things like that and assignments where I still have to turn them in on paper
The zebra sarasa pens write much more smoothly than the pilot juice pens
and I prefer the design of these more than the original zebra sarasa clip pens
I also received the staedtler triplus textsurfers in light brown, grey, and light carmine
I like these because I can use them as highlighters for the readings I have to do and next semester
I'm taking two history courses and two STEM courses and all of them are very reading heavy
I also use these three colors frequently in my bullet journal so I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of these
And finally, I'm very excited about these ones
I know I said I'm excited about pretty much everything else on this video
But trust me, I'm excited about these ones
Jetpens sent me three of the mildliner brush pens
and I'm super excited to use them
I tried them out and wow, they're just really fun to use!
Based off of first impressions alone
I like the flex of the tips and the colors
And I also like that they have the bullet point tip at the other end like the original mildliners do
I won't be carrying these around with me every single day though
because I think I'll use them more my journal rather than highlighting my reading and
Based off what I've used of the mildliners before, I don't want these tips to wear down but maybe later in the future
I'll make an updated video and give more of a full review of the mildliner brush pens
I don't know how long they'll last or if they'll fray like other brush pens do but we'll see
Here are the samples of each pen or highlighter that I mentioned for reference
And again, thank you to Jetpens for this lovely holiday gift
They even included such a kind card with the package and it was just really nice
I'm excited to make my bag a little lighter with the slimmer and lighter pencil case
And I'm so ready for a second semester. Now as for the giveaway, the rules are simple
You must be subscribed to both me and Jetpens on Youtube and be following me and Jetpens on Instagram
You must be 18 or older or you must have your parents permission to join the giveaway
Unfortunately, the giveaway is restricted to folks living in the US
but anyhow, please check the description for all the details as well as the giveaway link and good luck!
quick disclaimer though over the course of the semester, I did
switch out colors based on what I was feeling each week
and I recall having to start at least one year black pen every week
because I used them up so quickly during lecture notes, but things generally stayed about the same
But yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know
This is just what I ended up with at the very end of the semester, and I think it's a pretty accurate
overview of what I carried around but that's pretty much a wrap
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video. Bye!
