Hands down, my favorite thing about starting a new school year was getting new school supplies. There is nothing better than brand new notebooks, folders, paper, pens, pencils, erasers, and so on. I used to love walking into school on that first day, carrying my book bag filled with all those new supplies just begging to be used. I still love a new notebook, clean and unmarked and just waiting to be filled with anything from brilliant ideas to complete nonsense.
