With midterms looming over your head and readings piling one on top of the other, it’s easy to feel frazzled and overwhelmed. Which subject do you study for first? How are you going to take notes from your chemistry textbook? Where do you start with your reading for your Shakespeare class? But have no fear! Awesome stationary supplies are here! Here are five stationary supplies that are sure to make your next study session much more bearable and your notes gorgeous pieces of art:

Unlike most highlighters with colors so bright you need to wear sunglasses just to look at them, the Uni Highlighter Propus Window Soft Color Set uses pastel colors that are bright enough to highlight important information but clear enough to see the highlighted words. The coolest part? These highlighters have two tips: a broad tip with a window perfect for highlighting long lines of text and a pen-like tip perfect for underlining and jotting down some notes. Highlighting with these will be like wielding a double bladed lightsaber. Get these awesome highlighters on Amazon here!

 

2. A post-it note that doubles as a divider? Um, yes please!

With the Redi-Tag Divider Sticky Notes, it’s easy to distinguish your notes for chapter 1 of your biology textbook from your notes for chapter 2. The different colors for each different tab help organize sections in a way that’s both easy to use and ueasy to nderstand your notes. What’s even better is these tabs are large enough for you to scribble down some key points from each section. This makes it easier for those moments when you’re frantically flipping through your notes before the test to find that one section you need help with.
