Feeling overwhelmed by back-to-school nerves? If that sounds like you, you’re certainly not alone. Aside from adjusting to your new schedule and a fresh set of responsibilities, shopping for the right supplies can be a burden on your budget. Countless school supplies might seem handy, but discerning the necessities can be a challenge. After all, who hasn’t bought a ruler, whiteboard, or other essentials that only served to gather debris in the bottom of their bookbag?

While some school supplies may be specific to your program of studies, many must-have materials are indispensable to every student — regardless of the certificate or degree you’re obtaining. So, take out your phone — this is the perfect excuse to spend extra time on TikTok today. Check out these hashtags to discover the trendiest school supplies today’s college students swear by.

#SchoolSupplies

From pencils to page markers, you’ll find everything you need when you explore #SchoolSupplies. In addition to countless varieties of colorful pens, you’ll find one of the most preferred pencils trending today — the infinity pencil.

Those who frequent TikTok may have heard of this pencil under one of its other monikers: the “everlasting” or “forever” pencil. The name comes from the fact that these pencils don’t break — made of metal and coming in a generous range of vibrant colors, these pencils are akin to an inkless pen.

With a pointed, screw-on tip that neither leaks nor requires sharpening, a single infinity pencil is considered the equivalent of 100 traditional pencils. It also comes with a built-in eraser, so you can clear your slate if you make any mistakes.

Durable and affordable, infinity pencils come in countless varieties and brands. Find your favorite #InfinityPencil on TikTok and meet your new go-to writing utensil!
