School days: What are the things that you buy first before school starts (for yo

Every year before the start of the school or college i always buy a few Note books for my subjects. A black ball point pen and a black ink Gel pen. Every year we will have to buy new set of Text books which are of the subjects in the course. This is mandatory cause we cannot finish the course without the help of these books.

When I have to take class or go to school, which I do sometimes, even though I'm not in a program anymore, I have to buy new notebooks. I have to! Otherwise, it doesn't feel like school to me. When I was in high school, my mom always let me go shopping for new clothes and new shoes, which I always hated because shoes are the bane of my existence.

well as far as i can remember...i used to buy them school supplies in dozens since they were 4 of them,,notebooks,pencils,pads,crayons and etc..but during their high school theyre the one who bought for their own towards college..

when I was in school, i buy all textbooks, notebooks, black pens, markers

Well my days of buying school stuff are over, for me, but I still have to buy for the kids and so it is uniform, bags, shoes and pens and things. I am just trying to get some money together now for 2 new sets of uniforms and shoes!! Nightmare, these things are not cheap at all.

Hello ! Well i always buy a top of 500 sheets of paper. i write on plain xerox paper, not on notebooks. I also buy 2 or 3 pens (usually blue). And i think that is about it for the period before school actually starts. After it start i also buy books i need for the different classes.

When I was in college, I don't use notebooks. Actually even when I was in high school. I do buy but I don't use them. I don't like bulky bags full of notebooks. I usually take note using the back of my photocopies or post-its and out it in between my books pages. What I usually buy first when here comes schooling again is a ballpen. I don't just grab a black pen and pay for it. I have to like test all the pens in the market before I go home with one. hehehe..

When I was still on college, the first thing that I ask my dad to buy me before school starts is a new pair of black high heeled shoes and a couple of new long sleeves. I'm a graduate of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and it is required for my course to be in Corporate Attire every day. Next would be a couple of fillers and yellow pad and other supplies. I'm missing those days. :(

hi jesbellaine..when i did my schooling,i used to buy a new uniform,a school bag,school books and notebooks according to my grade,brown wrappers to cover the notebook,socks,pencil box,pencils,scale,eraser,a pair of black and white shoes,(lunch bag,lunch box and water bottle will be available at home..those days are really unforgettable..love my school days..specially the primary classes..

maybe there is no need to be prepared i am 3rd year colleges but school days for me is a normal day, no need to be prepared. this is my second course maybe this is the reason why i am not excited if class will begin. usually i buy one notebook for all my subjects and a pen, i rely on photo copying i am lazy to copy from the teacher's discussions. i have lots of shoes and shirts, maybe i will acquire one school uniform but it will happen by the month of July because that month we start wearing school uniforms.

each year things change as to what they will need. our school supplies their actual school supplies up until grade 3 and then they send home a list that the parents have to buy. at home we are required to have crayons, glue and scissors for homework type projects. i get the crayons on sale and only buy crayola as they are the only crayons that last and are worth buying. of course i get new school clothes for him and i start buying them during the summer months to make it more affordable. i usually get him 4 pairs of sneakers to get through the year as well in basic colors so they go with his outfits. i buy mix and match colors to stretch the wardrobe and to make it look like he has more clothes as well. this year i will also have to buy some book covers or book socks too. and of course a new back pack and lunch box.

As soon as the summer holidays finished, we buy text-books and note-books for our kids of different standards.Then we buy new school- uniforms, shoool-bags and tiffin boxes and pens and pencils boxes. After completion of these things, we have to cover all text-books and note-books labelling the books. Now they are ready to start and join to the new academic year by going to school daily.

Simply some pens of different colors like blue, black and red to be able to distinguish the notes when writing. A highlighter to highlight the main points when writing. Some notebooks, a good ruler, eraser, pencils and of course a good bag to carry all these. And as for specific subjects like maths, compasses and graphbooks will be important:)

When I was younger, school shopping mostly consisted of buying a lot of school supplies. We were more concerned about the pens/pencils, papers/notebooks and such. Since the school supplies were pretty cheap during that time, my mom would load up on notebooks and binder papers that would last us for the whole year. Clothes and shoes weren't too important. We usually shopped for those around Christmas time. This routine continued until up to my high school years.

same us you do, even my mom, first go the shopping mail by pair of shoes, bags & pen, pincel ect, those are the important in the school, specially now kids have thier own design not like when im elelmtary a simply bag cheap & but know they can choose any model as long it will enough thier budgets.

it used to be some pencil, pen, eraser, notebook and some writing pad. I was quite sincere about study and used to buy these even before gettinmg my booklist and buying books.

We just did it yesterday with my two kids. Notebooks, pencils, colors, plastic covers, erasers, folders, envelop and sharpeners. The kids of course tag along to have their on preferences if we will agree with it. The uniforms maybe later on but the shoes we had it from previous sales. Their bags are newly repaired with brand new wheels.

Loads of books, pencils, eraser, school uniforms, pens -- and thats all, I guess. I never really liked school. Remember it as a place full of snarling teachers. Cheers!

Hello~~~ Well, i will always remember that i will have a lot of things to buy and carry back home before school reopen. Stationery are my favourite of all. Because i love it!!! Before getting ready to school to buy my things, there will always a book list to follow in my secondary school. Then i will cancel away those i do not need it or i already had it. Went to school, there will always be a lot of people queueing up to buy their books. I will queue up and look for my things. I will always be amazed that there are a lot of books on the table. They are placed neatly on the table. These books are not for display, it is actually for the workers in the bookstore to place our books in the bag quickly so as not to congest the whole space. Well, the start of new year and the new things. It is so entirely cool and amazing. However, i'm not in sceondary school anymore. In poly, booklist is not needed and all i have to buy is still stationary. haha.

Generally we wait until we get the list from the school as well. We do get their (2 boys) school clothes ahead of time, but things like paper, and pen and such, we wait for the list.
