For a certain kind of kid (cough cough), shopping for school supplies was better than Christmas. There were just so many options, and for once, a little bit of independence. (No mom can feign interest about whether you go out on a limb with Gelly Roll pens or stick with a more classic ballpoint.) We miss those times. And we’re willing to bet that you do, too. To that end, we’ve rounded up 10 items in our back-to-school shopping list for adults. There might not be a dolphin-emblazoned Trapper Keeper here, but you will find a few items that you’ll want to purchase.
