📓 Notes That Don’t Feel Boring
If my notes look nice, I’m way more likely to actually write them.
Write super smoothly and make my notes look instantly neater and more put together.
Muji Gel Ink Pens
Simple, clean pages that don’t distract me. Perfect when I want my notes to look calm.
Muji Notebooks
Light paper, soft colors, and such a nice layout for organized notes!
Kokuyo Campus Notebook
love being able to rearrange notes without ripping pages out! Feels very put-together and can be re-used for years. I have had the same binder notebook for over 3 years and have just been replacing the pages!
Campus Binder notebooks
Soft, muted colors that make notes pretty without screaming neon.
MILDLINER Highlighter
💻 Study Desk Setup
The little things that make sitting at a desk for hours feel less painful.
Small, light, and easy to carry; Perfect for notes, PDFs, and studying anywhere!
Surface Laptop Go 3
Makes working on assignments so much easier than using a trackpad (I love my pink one!)
Wireless Mouse
Helps my posture and makes my desk setup feel more “serious student” coded.
Laptop Stand
Soft lighting makes late study sessions feel calmer and less harsh.
Warm Desk Lamp
☕ Focus Helpers
Things I use when my brain doesn’t want to cooperate.
If it’s on my desk, I actually remember to drink water! Stanleys are large capacity and can keep drinks warm or cold through long study blocks! (Plus they look so cute)
Stanley Cup
My go-to when I need to block everything out and just focus!
Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones
3 different levels of noise cancelation and transparency mode! I absolutely love my nothing earphones! A much more compact and affordable option that headphones with all the features you might need during a long study session!
Nothing Ear (a) | Audio
📱 Digital Study Essentials
The tech I use to read, annotate, and stay focused without everything feeling overwhelming.
I use it to read PDFs, annotate notes, and keep textbooks in one place. Much more affordable than spending hundreds on new books every semester (better for my back too)!
Galaxy Tab S10 Lite
Keeps me off my phone by “growing trees” while I focus - weirdly motivates me every time!
Forest App
🧠 Organisation So I Don’t Spiral
Because forgetting deadlines is my villain origin story.
I love these planners from Hobonichi! Amazing paper quality and perfectly organized layout! Seeing my week laid out like this definitely helps me stay on track.
Hobonichi Techo 2026
Perfect for reminders I need to see constantly!
Sticky Notes
Keeps my device upright so I can see timers or study apps without touching it.
Phone/Tablet Stand
🎀 Soft Comfort for Long Study Days
Not necessary… but mentally necessary
The only thing I want to wear when I’m studying for hours
Oversized Hoodie
Cold feet = no focus. These fix that immediately!
Fluffy Socks
Keeps my hair out of my face when I’m trying to concentrate.
