My go-to pens!

I've been wanting to write this post for a while, but I haven't gotten around to it until now. Let's take a look inside my pencil pouch! Pictured below is my pencil pouch (or I suppose a pen pouch since I only carry pens now?) that I take to school.

Thanks Joe for the gift from Korea!

I got these when I went to Korea three years ago. I don't use them often, but I like them have them in case I need to differentiate notes in class - esp when we're superimposing lines on one graph in class). 

InkJoys! These came from a package that my mom got from Costco. I also really like these for writing in my personal notebook. I don't really use them for school since I write only in black ink. 

My Lamy fountain pens! The left was a birthday present from Helena and right was a birthday present from Andrew. The left one has a thicker nib and it's nice for writing people's names on envelopes while the one on the right is more for normal writing. The only downside is that you have to refill the ink pretty often. I used to write with them more often, but now not as much.

A closer look at the nibs. :) A cool thing is that you could also purchase new nibs and switch them out!

Jetstream pens! For the last two years, this has been my go-to note-writing pens. The first time I used it was when someone from Korea gave it to my sister as present. But she didn't really care or want it and then I ended up using it, haha. I have a blue one and a black one, but I find myself using the black one far more than the blue one. Over the semesters I realized I don't like referring back to my notes when they're in blue... Jetstream pens have been my favorite pens for the last two years. :)

My brush pens! I recently got the brush pen on the top. It's a lot more inkier than the tombow one (bottom pen). I was first introduced to the tombow brush pen when Sarah gave me a set for my birthday. They're super easy to carry around and they allow you to have variations in stroke thickness (great for lettering on the go)! There are two versions of the tombow pen. I have a gray one, that's a lot softer in feel when you write, but I prefer the blue one. I feel like you have more control in writing with the blue one.

Dun dun dun...I saved the best one for last. Hannah got me this muji pen as a gift when she came back from NYC and it's been my favorite pen ever since. And now I can't go back to any other pens... It feels more like a gel pen than a ballpoint pen, but it feels great writing with them!

There are a lot of other pens that I use for typography and lettering, but these are the pens that I carry to school on a daily basis! Thanks for reading. :)
