Simple Back to School Packing List for High School Students

Metropolitan Girls — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:06:02 +0000

Discover the simplest back to school packing list for high school students. Become a minimalist high school student by packing only things that you absolutely need.

Ever since I can remember, back to school has always been one of those times when you’re both excited and depressed as a student. For students who come from families who can afford it, back-to-school shopping is quite fun — I mean new outfits and colorful school supplies that promise an increased level of productivity is pretty exciting. On the other hand, some of us are just not made for institutional living and school is an institution. Not to mention the pinch you’ll be feeling if your family is not that well off.

Back to school has been made into something more complicated than it should be. Sure, education is an important aspect that is worthy of celebration. I can understand why back to school is such a big deal, but no you absolutely don’t need a flashy new outfit or new school supplies. If the older ones from middle school work just fine, there’s really no reason to change it. And also no, you don’t need to pack the whole house — especially not on the first day of school. Below you will find one of the tiniest, shortest, and simplest packing list you will find online. Sometimes usefulness comes in a small package.

Tiny Back to School Essentials Packing List

Your school bag
Some cash
Your ID
A few notepads
1 or 2 pencils or pens – whichever you prefer
1 eraser – not need if using pen
1 sharpener – not need if using pen
1 calculator – only if necessary
1 water bottle – or drink from water fountain

And that’s it! Everything else is probably just good-to-have.

In the introduction of this article, I mentioned that we, as a society, is over-complicating back to school. Guess what, we (Metropolitan Girls) are part of that too. Certainly, some of the back to school supplies that we shared with you are super cute, and that you should really get them, but those aren’t necessities.

I’ll provide another example. Say your old school backpack is getting dirty after using it for a year or so, there’s no need to replace it with a flashy new school backpack, you can either wash it yourself or send it to a professional.

Happy Back to School.

Emojis used to be more primitive, especially in the early days of internet computing. With cell phones and texting getting popular in the 90s, emojis grew with it. But it wasn’t until the smartphone evolution that emojis really blow up in terms of popularity.

8. Pen

In the realm of cute office supplies, regular ballpoint pens just wouldn’t cut it. Enter this pink and silver pen with sparkling crystals inside its body. The crystals are free-moving inside its container and sparkles when light shines on it. Use it for your own enjoyment or give it as a gift that will impress the recipient.

9. Tape Dispenser

A white unicorn with rainbow hair and golden horn. He leaves traces of rainbow everywhere he goes. And being a tape dispenser, the rainbow he leaves behind is, of course, tapes. It is super cute and fun to look at and play with, but it may be too big to bring to class. So keep the docile horned beast at home on your desk where it’s safe for him to play.

10. Tumbler

So much more than just an eye candy. This tumbler is heat-resistant thanks to its double-walled design. So cold drinks stay cold longer, and the same goes for hot beverages. It is also spill-resistant, unless there’s a strong impact, the lid stays closed to keep the liquid inside. Elegant floral prints on the tumbler body.

11. Stapler

Clear acrylic stapler with a rose gold interior. Feel glamorous as you hold this beauty in your hand. Drive that staple through sheets of paper has never felt so good until now. Built-in staple remover. This is my personal favorite on this list. It would have gotten an “Editor’s Choice” sticker if there is a way for me to do it.

12. Three Ring Binder

Keep your assignments or documents organized in a three-ring binder. This binder below does more than holding your paper, it also inspires you to pursue happiness in life. “Do more of what makes you happy” is what it says on the cover against a watercolor background of gorgeous magenta, purple, and blue.

13. Highlighter

Some highlighters are way too bright. Yes, you do want the highlighted text to stand out but you don’t want to do it at cost of drowning out the rest of the content. If the highlighted text is the crown jewel, the rest of the text is the crown itself — the crown is an integral part of the whole thing! The Zebra Midliner highlighters are in mild and gentle colors. They work great at gently directing your attention without crowding it.

15 Minimalist Back to School Supplies (that you will love)

Metropolitan Girls — Sat, 26 May 2018 09:17:37 +0000

It’s that time of the year again when students go back to school. Middle schools, high schools, and colleges will soon be packed with eager young people who are there to pursue knowledge.

You know what needs to happen before school starts? That’s right… SHOPPPINGG TIME! You need the right tool for the right job. And for those of us who prefer simpleness, school essentials with simple design is the way to go.

Are you starting your college freshman year? This helpful college packing checklist will make sure you don’t forget anything important.

Minimalist School Essentials

Minimalist school supplies are quiet. They never shout. They never try to steal attention. These stationery works in the background to help you stay productive and organized.

For more stuff like this, follow our School Cool board on Pinterest.

1. Pencil Pouch

A large-capacity canvas pencil case. Its design is plain but aesthetically pleasing. Approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. It can fit everything from a calculator to stapler to dozens of pens and pencils. Colors available are yellow, blue, khaki, navy blue (shown below), pink, and caramel. It is durable and washable.

5. Pen

Retractable ballpoint pens with rose gold accents. A minimalist eye candy. The set comes with two pens — baby blue and pink. The pens’ enamel body is well-balanced and offers a comfortable grip to their user. Keep them for your own enjoyment or give them as a gift to your friends and family members.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

6. Eraser

Erasers and pencils are like bacon and eggs or peanut and butter, they are two halves that complete each other. When you use a pencil for drawing or writing, you’re prone to making mistakes. And when a mistake happens, you will need a good eraser that undoes the previous action. These Papermate erasers are cost-effective and do an excellent job cleaning up after you.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

7. Calculator

Sleek, modern, no-nonsense calculator from Sharp. Use it for general calculation and tax. The pocket-sized counting machine is powered by solar and battery. Extra large display. Low-profile keypads and a slim body. It will fit into any pockets or pencil pouches without a problem.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

8. Tumbler

Chic travel-friendly BPA-free tumbler for warm and cold beverages. People who are on-the-go will love this. Detachable lid and straw. The lid helps prevent spill and wastage of your favorite drink. The straw’s wider fin-like bottom is utilized to stir your drinks. Single wall, which means less insulation. Easy to clean.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

9. Pencil Sharpener

Pencils require maintenance to remain sharp. There are many ways to sharpen a pencil. You can do so with a knife, an automatic electric sharpener, or this cheap rustic metal alloy sharpener. Its sturdy casing is made of magnesium alloy, its sharp and long-lasting blade from DTA tempered steel.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

10. Bookmark

Artistic bookmark with beaded design. It details a confident peacock who is standing on a tree branch showing his flamboyant tail. The curious picture is complete with the aid of the surrounding Spring flowers.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

11. Stapler

Standard-sized staplers can occupy too much of space. Chances are you don’t need that much of stapling done in a day anyway (you can always refill). For classroom use, a travel-friendly lightweight stapler is sufficient. Don’t be deceived by their size, these floral staplers can penetrate 18 sheets of paper. The staple remover is built-in. The flower prints are of dandelion and bluebell.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

12. Scissors

A trusted pair of scissors that cut and trim without fail. Ergonomic grip. Its sturdy and sharp blades can last decades. A must-have for art class and other school projects.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

13. Notebook

On the outside, it looks like a regular notepad from Walmart or Target. Binding rings and three pre-punctured holes on one side. Its generic-looking cover is in conservative black. However, the popular idiom is right, never judge a book by its cover. Normal notepads are flat and restrictive. Focus Notes is notebooks evolved. Based on the Cornell note-taking system, it adds dimensions to the notepad. In the cue column, you can add questions you may have, related homework, or further readings; in the summary row, your own conclusion.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

14. Stationery Organizer

An elegant pencil holder with no visual noise. It blends in quietly with the rest of your study room as it performs its duty at organizing your stationery in the background. It is made of leather.

^ Tap Image for Details ^

It’s non-dated, start using it anytime, it never gets outdated. Set goals and objectives, plan monthly, weekly, and daily tasks. Prioritize critical to-dos with the help of colorful stickers which come together with the planner. Hardcover but light in weight.

Get it here.

School supplies can be minimalist in two aspects, design and quantity. For this article, we have taken the approach of curating stationery that has pleasing aesthetics because of its simplicity in shapes, size, or pattern. But you can always go the other way and pack only something you can write with and on when you go back to school.
