I will just go ahead and get the usual speech out of the way: long time no write, I’ve been busy and kinda forgot I had a blog for a bit, yada yada. Either way, I am here now, and that’s all that matters! I have gotten mostly

Intro If you saw my Instagram post yesterday, disregard this first bit. I have fallen behind in posting for the past month because I got incredibly busy with finals and tennis. Either way, I'm back now (until I get busy again, which is very likely). Today I wanted

As the year comes to a close, it is important that we take some time to look back at all the good that happened in 2022. For me, that includes passing calculus 2, not catching the flu from my family, and most importantly, getting a set of Blackwing pencils for
The Uni alpha-gel Switch mechanical pencil is a spin on the Uni Kuru Toga, featuring the gel grip of the alpha -gel line and the Kuru Toga engine. There is one additional feature, which is a toggle for the Kuru Toga Engine, which spins the lead to keep it

The Zebra G series of gel pens is an affordable, long lasting, and comfortable option for those who want a good quality pen on a budget. The three pens I will be reviewing today are the G-402, G-450, and the G-750. Let's get started! Starting
