Hi guys
Today's video is a study with me video and in this video. I'll be taking notes for AP European history
In a previous video about how I take history notes
I've already explained the process so I'll spare you from having me repeat that instead of explaining for today's video
I'll be answering some questions about stationery and I asked for these questions on my Instagram
so if you'd like to participate in any future Q and As be sure to check out my Instagram which is linked in the description
A few people asked about why I talk about stationery because it doesn't matter for actually studying and
I agree that stationery really doesn't make a huge difference in how effective your studying is
I just like to talk about it because it's one of my interests
And it is kind of related to studying because I use these supplies while I am studying
While I do agree with the sentiment behind most of these comments. I don't appreciate how some of them seem to
Belittle the people who do like nice stationery I feel like students of a community we should not be trying to put each other down
we should be trying to lift each other up I
Know that sounds really preachy, but you know what I mean
So the first question which mild liner set is your favorite? My favorite is the cool and refined set
Since it has the purple and the grey which are my two favorite colors
What are some stores where you can get good stationery, but are still affordable?
you can get good stationery at Daiso which is a dollar-fifty store
and pretty much every store like Target, Walmart, OfficeMax
you can get good stationery at you just need to know what to look for
and I plan to do some videos about the best of from those stores
so stay tuned for that
Another question which pens don't bleed through pages?
Generally ballpoint pens bleed through the least but I don't really like to use ballpoint pens because they don't offer a completely line
So if you don't want to use ballpoint
Then gel pens are the next best option
Some gel pens that don't bleed through too much are the zebra serasa or the uniball signo?
The next question could you recommend some black gel pens?
So I've always mentioned the pen tell energy gel in my previous videos
And I do still highly recommend that pen since it dries so quickly and it's really smooth
but I think I've been converted to the zebra, Sarasa as my new favorite I
would recommend the zebra
Sarasa in the 0.5 millimeter size the most and I also really recommend the uniball signo
DX in the point three eight millimeter size it just smudges more
So I don't recommend using it when you're highlighting should you store pens and markers upright or lying down?
Generally for pens and markers you should store them vertically with the tip facing downwards
For some types of pens that are super inky for example like fountain pens you should store them horizontally
But for the casual user of pens who doesn't have those super fancy ones
It doesn't make a huge difference, but tip down is the best option
What are your favorite supplies for decorating spreads on your bullet journal? I?
really like to use the tombow dual brush pens and
Zebra mod liners to add a color then I'll use a black pen
recently I've been using the pigma micron and
I also use a black marker currently. I use the deleter neo Picholine three in the two millimeter size
The next question is what paper do you recommend to use for brush pens?
One really affordable option is the HP premium choice?
32-pound laser jet paper and I found out about this from the blog the postman's knock. I definitely recommend you check out the blog
What are some pens that dry quickly to prevent smudging?
The pen I've seen that dries the fastest is the zebra Sarasa dry, but it's not that smooth
So I would recommend the Pentel and our gel over that one because it also dries very quickly
But it's a lot more comfortable to use
Where do you get your stationery I mostly get my stationery from jetpens.com
Not sponsored. I just really liked them. I like them so much that I actually interned there, so that was pretty cool
I also occasionally buy from Amazon or Target
How do you organize your stationery I?
Don't have as much stationery as you might think so it's actually pretty simple
By the way, let me know if you want to see an updated pen collection video
anyways first I have my pencil case where I keep the most essential items that I take with me to school everyday and
I also have a pen cup on my desk
I also have a little box for refills
And I keep that on my bookshelf on the same section of the bookshelf
I have my empty notebooks, and I have all of my tombow dual brush pens
That's the only thing I have a full set of and it conveniently already comes with its own stand
If I didn't get to your question about what I recommend for certain categories
I have a favorites video and a page on my tumblr about my recommendations for each category
I'll link those in the description so be sure to check those out I
