Whether you relax by journaling, take faster notes by hand, or enjoy sketching, the tools make the experience better. These instruments are impressive in technology, design, and quality. You won't want to go back to a plain, old pencil or pen ever again!

1. Uni Kuru Toga Roulette mechanical pencil

The Uni Kuru Toga Roulette mechanical pencil

Amanda Ellard

Uni-ball is already known for their amazing creation utensils, but the technology on their Kuru Toga mechanical pencil makes this pencil stand out even more. According to their website, they use a "patented rotating lead engine and Nano Dia lead to ensure the lead tip always stays sharp and precise." Say goodbye to uneven edges on mechanical pencil lead points because this slick pencil is self-sharpening as it rotates the lead without you even feeling it, keeping everything even and smooth so you can continue your quest to write the next great novel or score that A+. The body is sturdy, but thin, and textured on the spot where your fingers rest to resist sliding. It is a bit bottom-heavy and the eraser on the top required a tough pull-off of the cap to access. However, the re-fillable lead, that comes in two widths and is "infused with millions of nanodiamond particles and silicone oil", and replaceable eraser are great quality.

2. Pilot Frixion Point Knock pen

Want to be able to erase but still use a beautiful ink? You got it! Frixion has many lines of pens, highlighters, and markers that are erasable using their "thermo-sensitive ink formula [that] disappears with erasing friction". The Point Knock pens feature a very fine gel ink point retractable through a click of the clip on one end and an eraser that is said not to wear down on the other. It takes some extra rubs than you may be used to with a pencil to completely erase the ink, but it does just as well if not a better job of clearing the stroke and it certainly does far less damage to paper. The variety of color choices is great for journaling or color-coding notes and the thick barrel leads to a solid grip.

3. Muji Hexigonal Aluminum Ball Point Pen

A Muji Hexigonal Aluminum Ball Point Pen

Amanda Ellard

Muji is definitely a stationary staple, but past their gel pens and refreshingly minimalistic notebooks is this gem. It is one of the thinnest pens I own, but that makes it so easy to carry in bags and manipulate while holding. It's hexagonal body in a beautifully simplistic silver settles well in the hand with a medium weight and the removable label boasts a 0.07mm needle point. The ink is dark and even, although it does need a moment to dry to prevent smearing. I've picked up this pen to use the most for its sturdiness, simplicity, and grand ink finish.

For all the great writers, expressionists, students, and artists out there, you're just as amazing as these instruments and hopefully these works of art tools will help you achieve your goals, pass a rainy day, or send you into a relaxing evening. Trying out new stationary is always satisfying, so if you're left wanting more, Uniball, Pilot, and Muji have many more creations just as wonderful to use.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
