Vicarious Shaner's High School Survival Kit


P4: Gritty Reboot
 Share

Recommended Posts

So, our own VicariousShaner has his first day at high school tomorrow. That's 9th-12th grade, or about 14 years old through 17 or 18 years old, for those of you in countries with different school systems. Here's the deal: each of us gets to pack him one thing in a survival kit for high school. Post what you'd give him, and why, and a picture to make it colorful.

 

RULES:

  • Has to be able to fit in a normal backpack
  • No more than $100/item

I've got one of these bad boys, and it's saved me from many an embarrassing "Uh... can I borrow a fork?" moments. A must for any highschooler or college student.

That works too. I just made the mistake of talking too much with people and they kind of ended up hating me for it.

 

When I say talk, I mean I talked for fucking hours sometimes. About stupid shit too like history.

 

No one fucking likes history in high school. The fuck was I thinking?

Son, you're going to need a couple of things:

 

1.)

A Moleskine or other pocket notebook. Seriously, when some chick gives you her number you can write it down in your "little black book." I used to use those made by PIcadilly but with Borders closed, I have no source of them. Staples sells a variant called Markings by C. R. Gibson and they are on sale for $3 this week.

 

It's obvious but the customizations are endless on these things. I recently drew on mine with a silver Sharpie. One word of warning, if you do that seal it with clear nail polish or (like I did) clear Scotch tape.

2.) A good pen. This goes without saying. If you're still using cheap BICs or freebies that will die on you in an hour, it's time to grow up. Real men have good pens. I have a bunch that I could recommend (fountain, gel and ballpoint) but this is personal.

 

3.) A good backpack that you can make your own. Paratrooper bags or other Army surplus bags work great:

4.) Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,

You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers.

That's all I can think about for now. You should be good from there. Obviously you'll also need stuff like general notebooks and pens and protractors but quite frankly you should have that stuff by now.
