1. Pencil, Eraser, and Sharpener
Note: Showing prices may not be accurate for all products. Amazon's product prices can fluctuate. If you're a college student, you may sign up for Amazon Prime Student and grab the best deal and free shipping on these products.A pencil is essential for every student whether you’re a schoolboy or a college student. If you’re a college student then it would be useful for you to make graphs, charts, maps, or anything that you can’t use your pen for.
If you like sketching or drawing then you probably have it. With pencils, you also have two more things: an Eraser and a Sharpener.
If you don’t have these things then you can buy an ‘Apsara Pencils set’ (check the above image) that will also get you an eraser and sharpener.
2. Ball Pens
Just like the pencil, pens are essential for writing notes. While making your fair notes, you should use three colors of pens- Red, Blue, and Black.
Using multicolor pens while making notes can make your notes wonderful. You can use a red color pen for writing questions or headings, Black for writing key points, Blue for writing general answers, and for rough use.
Note: Using a different color pen for a different purpose not only organizes your notes better but also helps you to memorize more easily.
3. Highlighter Pens
Highlighters are again essential stationery for students. If you want to make something highlighted or important in your book or in your notes then you must use a highlighter.
Highlighting is effective because it first asks the reader to pick out the important parts, and then gives an effective way to review that information later. You can use different highlighter colors for different purposes, check out the above image.

4. Notebooks
You may have many notebooks already for different subjects. However, two types of notebooks you should have- one is for taking notes in class and another one is for fair or making notes by yourself.
In this digital world, if you have a laptop then you can use note-taking applications like ‘Notion’ which is great for making notes and setting productivity goals.Now you’ve to find which system you’re comfortable with and good at. While taking notes, make sure to use a desk and the best dorm chair, and avoid studying in bed or couch.
Reminder: If you’re a college student and interested in reading books you better read our ‘Books for College Students‘ article first where I have listed 19 books that you must read.
5. 5-Subject Spiral Notebook
This notebook is great for notetaking in class for different subjects. You don’t need to carry five notebooks for five different subjects, this 5 subject notebook is divided into five sections. But remember don’t use it to make a fair of a particular subject.
So, If you don’t want to make your college bag too much heavy with different notebooks then you can use this notebook.
6. Flashcards
Flashcards are a great stationery item that helps you to memorize and not forget easily. Flashcards work on the Leitner system and spaced intervals.
According to this system, On one side of a flashcard, you write a question (mainly objective type), and on the other side you write an answer for it, and on the spaced interval, you revise your flashcards.
You can watch this video for more guides about flashcards.
7. Sticky Notes
Just like flashcards, sticky notes are also essential stationery for your studying. You just need to write a short and important note and then stick it in your notebook or on your study table.
For example, you can use these sticky notes to organize your study notes to add additional points, make goals for exam preparation, and remember any important date or anything.

9. Ruler
This is quite a different ruler than your Geometry box ruler. It’s a 15-inch ruler which is made of flexible stainless steel.
