I GOT INTO COLLEGE/ UNIVERSITY!! | School Supplies & Stationery Haul

Hello everybody! So today I'm filming a very exciting video. I'm going to be filming a university stationery and supplies haul. I got into university, yay! First thing I did when I got my offer was go straight to Officeworks and just spend so much money on stationery. I have an obsession with stationery and just organization in general, so I am in my element right now. I'm just gonna go straight into this. Let's start off with the most important thing. I bought a backpack. This was like my treat to myself for when I got into uni, I would buy myself this bag. So the first thing I did when I got my offer was go online and buy this bag. It took me so long to decide what color to get, but I decided to stick with the classic black color. I love it. This is the normal size. It fits my 13-inch MacBook in there. I got this from The Iconic, which is an Australian store. The Iconic's great because first of all, they have express shipping. Second of all, they always have some kind of deal on where it's like $20 off or something. So definitely if you live in Australia, order this backpack. Love it. I'm gonna go on to notebooks. I feel like I went very over the top with notebooks. This is all the way from Singapore. I went on a massive shopping spree in Muji. Please don't judge me when I show you. But to make myself feel better, there is no Muji in Australia or at least in Perth. So I had to stock up. So I bought eight notebooks. Muji has the best notebooks and they're so cheap. These ones were $2.25 in Australian dollars. If you're looking for good quality paper, Muji notebooks are the best. I bought eight of these because I'm doing four subjects or four units. So I need four for this semester. I bought some more for next semester, just in case I'm not in Singapore before then. Now I'm gonna go onto all the pens I bought and I may have potentially gone a little bit overboard with the pens. First, I'll show you the pencil case I got. My friend pointed out to me yesterday that it actually, I thought it said just breathe. It says just breath. It got a little bit lost in translation, but I'm just going to have to put it on my desk facing this way, not this way. I'm going to start with highlighters because I feel like they're more interesting. I went completely over the top with highlighters. I actually bought these before I even got into uni. When I applied, I was like, I'm going to buy highlighters. I bought mild liners. We don't have these in Australia, so I bought them from eBay. These ones came in a set, but then these two I bought separately. I actually found that these were quite harsh on paper and they kind of bleed through a little bit. So I then used that as an excuse to buy these. So these are the Stabilo Boss. They're all really, really lovely pastel colours. I can't explain it, but the colour of these just makes me so happy. I just realised that I forgot to mention I bought these from Officeworks and I think they were $9.50 or something like that. They also come in a four pack as well, that's a little bit cheaper. So if you don't want all these colours, you can get the four pack. Pens. Pen time. All time favourite pens are the Muji gel pens. They look like this and they are 0.5 millimetres. They make my handwriting look a lot neater than it actually is. Very smooth, it doesn't smudge. All around, they are so great. Super cheap as well. I think they're like only a dollar each and they last so long. First of all, they had them in a pack and there's six in this pack. But then in my head, I was like, six isn't enough, so I'm going to buy two more. So now I have eight. Also bought the same pen, but in red. I never actually really use red pens, so I don't know why I bought these. I guess it's just good to have a different coloured pen in case you need to distinguish two things. I also bought another gel pen. These are a little bit different. So I got a green one. I also got a blue one. Woo! Pencils. I don't really have much exciting news about pencils. I just bought one mechanical pencil from Muji. It actually looks like a pencil, but it's a mechanical pencil. Really like this. It also has an eraser on the top, which I like. Then onto more miscellaneous stuff. I bought this ruler. I actually use rulers all the time because when I'm writing notes, I'll underline stuff and I like to have a nice crisp line that's straight. I'm really bad at free handing it. Do you ever encounter the problem where you've done that and then you need to do the other side, but the numbers are then on the other side? This has you covered. How great. This cost me $1.50. Can't even go wrong. I accidentally bought two of these because I thought I left one at the hotel, so I was like, I need another one. And then I found out that I actually packed it, so now I have two. You can never have too many rulers. And then I bought these scissors. Someone made fun of me and was like, those scissors look like candy scissors. Don't judge a book by its cover. These scissors, they're great. These were, I don't know how much they were, but they were 50% off. And I bought an eraser from Muji as well. Then I just bought some whiteout. This is from Kmart. I'm pretty sure. Kmart is also really great for really nice, but cheap stationery. So if you live in Australia, definitely check out Kmart's stationery section because it's great. Now on to post-it notes. I bought these post-it notes because I really like the colors, but I bought these so I can write notes in my textbooks, but not actually write on the paper. I have learned that textbooks are very expensive and I'm definitely going to be reselling them once I'm done with them. So if I do need to take notes on a textbook or write something down really quick, I'm going to write them on a post-it note and then stick it in the book just so it's there, but not actually written inside the textbook. Then also bought these little post-it flags. This is going to be to mark pages in my textbook. Or to make it easier, I might even flag out all the chapters. So instead of flicking through trying to find the chapter, I can just go straight to this and I'm saving time. Yay. Now I'm going to go on to my binding system. Let's start with the actual binder itself. This is the binder that I got. It's just a two-ring binder. I got this from Officeworks. It's by the brand Twinkle Aqua Drops. They have them in so many different colors, but I decided to get the clear one. My plan for my folder system, I haven't sorted it out yet because I was waiting to film this video, but I bought these dividers. These are also from Officeworks and I'm going to have one for each unit, like economics, business law. Then I bought this paper from Muji. This is grid paper, same type of paper that's in the notebooks. So it's really nice, lovely quality paper. I love writing on grid paper. It looks so neat. And it's also great if you're doing like diagrams and stuff like that. And then lastly, for my folders, I bought this A4 expanding binder file and I bought four of these. Oh, wait, no. For some reason, I thought I had five and it took me so long to process that there was only four. And I bought these from Officeworks as well. And I bought four of these, obviously for four of my subjects. Okay. So I've just really briefly set up my binder just to show you what my goal is. I'm going to start off with my binder. And then obviously I have the dividers and then I have one of these files. And then in the files, I'm going to have my notebook for that specific subject. And then any handouts I get or any information, I'm going to hole punch and then pop it in that section as well. And then it'll be repeated throughout all the other subjects as well. If I need to write notes, but not notes that need to go in my notebook, if that makes sense, then I can write them on this paper. Or if I need to do working out, I can write it on this paper and then transfer it to the correct section, if that makes sense. That's my plan. I'll let you know if it's successful. So now for like miscellaneous things, I guess. So I bought this pouch. I'm going to fill this with like hand sanitizer, blotting sheets, moisturizer, lip balm, all that fancy stuff. I have one of these already in my normal handbag, but I'm going to make another one for my uni bag, just so I'm not transferring it from bag to bag, because I guarantee that I will forget. The last thing I'm going to show you is some shoes that I bought. I bought these for uni because I want to be comfy. So I decided to invest in some new trainers. Or if you're from America, you say sneakers. First pair of trainers or sneakers that I bought was some Reebok Club C85. I actually bought them the same time as I bought this backpack. So I got them from the Iconic. I've already worn them once. I wore them yesterday and I love them so much. I'm a sucker for just white shoes. This is what they look like. I love them so much. The thing about these is they go with literally anything. Like they look super cute if you wear them with jeans. You can even wear them with a skirt and it would look so cute. And then the next pair I bought, I already actually own a pair of these, but they are so gross and dirty and I've had them for so long. I bought a pair of Nike Air Force Ones. The thing I love about these is they're such a classic shoe and they just kind of go with every single thing that you could possibly think of. I bought these from Foot Locker and also a quick tip and massive thank you to the guy that was serving me and told me this. I think his name was Matt. So if your name was Matt and you served me, thank you. He told me that I could actually get the kid's size. Normal price of these is $150 Australian dollars, but the kid's size is $109. I saved quite a bit of money and it's literally the same exact shoe. If you're a size 38 or below, definitely try and buy the kid's versions. A quick tip for you. And on that note, that is my university supplies haul. Thank you so much for watching. I'm so excited about this next chapter. Something I also realized along this whole process was that people are in such a rush to figure out what they want to do and to go to uni straight from school and to graduate at like 21 years old and have a full-time job. For a long time, I felt really bad about the fact that I wasn't doing that and I felt like I wasn't succeeding because I wasn't doing that. I think there's such a massive stigma for people to decide what they want to do as soon as they graduate high school. And although that might be the case for some people, for 90% of people, you can't know what you want for the rest of your life when you're not even a proper adult yourself. I just want this to be a reminder of that. I don't know what I'm kind of trying to get at, but all I'm saying is you have all the time in the world to do what you want to do. If you want to do something right now, then do it. If you change your mind halfway through and decide that you don't want to do it, that's okay as well. And you have so much time to start something over and do something new and change your pathway. And that's okay. I just talked for so long. Okay, I'm going to stop this video now. Thank you so, so, so much for watching. I love you all so much. Thank you. And I shall see you in my next video. If you want to watch my next video. Bye. Bye.
