This is a list of the supplies I use in veterinary school that have been really useful.
Paper Feel Tablet Screen Protector
If you are like me and use a tablet for taking notes, this product is for you! This product is amazing if you like that natural paper feel when taking notes! This screen protector will change the game and protect your screen! It also features an antiglare coating.
Highlighter Set
These german made highlighters come in six colors. They have anti-dry-out technology with a long-lasting tip. They are great for school or work.
Great if you need a narrow frame!
Blue Light Blocking Reading Glasses
Suppose you are like me and need to wear reading glasses while studying. I highly recommend getting glasses that both magnify and block that harmful blue light. These fit a small face well and are comfortable. I wear them basically for everything I do.
A Set of Notebooks
I like to use a regular lined notebook for my unorganized notes. I use these notebooks to make messy notes, I then organize. These are nice because they are light and fit in almost any bag.
This is a Great Deal!
Multicolor Retractable Ballpoint Pens
I love these pens for marking up my textbooks and taking notes on my messy notes before organizing them into a study guide. These are also great for making corrections on quizzes, papers, or exams. This is a great deal because you get 23 of these pens. I have one stashed in each room and backpack!
Travel Stapler
I have one of these stashed in my backpack and purse.  My biggest pet peeve is when I get unstapled handouts. People are always asking if they can use my stapler. Great if you need a stapler on the go!
Essential Item
Whiteboard for Your Lap
These whiteboards are an essential item for any student. I like the pack because I can keep one everywhere. I use these all the time to test myself from my study guide. They are small but large enough to contain lots of information. They fit easily into a backpack. Great for on the go.
Time Timer
This is an essential item for any student. I love this timer as it fits easily into my backpack when traveling and allows me to study without my phone nearby. Veterinary school is extremely rigorous, and you will need to study for hours. I usually study 50 minutes at a time and then take a 10-minute break. I do usually block my study time into 3-hour chunks. A bonus is that they come in a bunch of fun colors!
​
Mechanical Pencil
I love these mechanical pencils for doing any sort of math problems. I usually do a messy form in my scratch paper notebook before reorganizing my notes. I also sometimes use my pencil to sketch anatomy drawings. This brand feels good in my hand and applies just the right amount of pressure.
Heavy Duty Electric Stapler
This stapler is on my desk at home! It is for heavy-duty jobs such as stapling book sections. It works well!
Erasable Gel Pens
I love these pens for writing study guides! The eraser works really well and the pack features 10 colors. They all show up well on paper.
Wall Mounted File Folders
I keep one of these on the wall by my desk. I like how each folder is a different color. I use each color to designate different classes. This helps me stay organized during school.
A Sketchbook
I love this sketchbook for my final drafts of the drawing I do for anatomy. I reserve this sketch book for my best drawings. The paper is nice and sturdy.
My Favorite Pencil
I cherish this pencil! This is my all-time favorite pencil! It writes very smoothly and is of high quality. It is easy to grip. This is the pencil I use at home.
The A Game
This book really helped me up my game when it comes to studying for vet school! It is a concise book and thin enough to fit in your backpack. It is written by a college professor and really helped me!
Memory Foam Office Chair Seat
If you are like me and like to study or work from home, this product is for you! This cushion is made of memory foam and conforms to your body. It turns an uncomfortable chair into a chair you won't want to leave.
