    I haven't needed a protractor in many years, but every August, I'm still overcome by the urge to stock up on pencil sharpeners and Trapper-Keepers.

    And if you'd like a side of (a)cuteness with your geometry, we've got some ideas.

    1. A friendly monster who will keep your pencils safe (in its mouth).

    2. A pencil sharpener and eraser set that's as extra as the guac at Chipotle.

    3. A binder that'll give you major "Drew Barrymore circa 1995" vibes.

    4. A burger-shaped bento box, because all foods taste better when eaten out of a burger.

    5. Narwhal pushpins that will helpfully stab your papers with their tusks.

    6. An assignment notebook so pretty it will almost make you forget the horror it contains.

    7. A laptop sleeve printed with cacti and succulents, to protect your computer from sticky situations.

    8. Insulated mugs that want to be your friends and regulate the temperature of your beverages.

    9. A homework holder featuring French bulldogs who are good boys and will keep your papers safe.

    10. A Pusheen stationery set, so even when you're studying you won't lose track of what's truly important: snacks.

    11. Unicorn folders, because some classes require a little extra magic.

    12. A set of woodland creature pencils that want to frolic all over your math homework.

    13. Bunny scissors, because you can't spell "cute" without "cut".

    14. Penguin stickies that will chill in your books.

    15. Or if (allegedly) mythical cuties are more your bag, these Loch Ness Monster page markers are up to the task.

    16. Animal-shaped paperclips that want your papers to join their pack.

    17. A flamingo tape dispenser, because flamingos make everything, from lawns to tape, more adorable.

    18. A sloth notebook, to remind you to take all the time you need.

    19. A cheery planner that will instill all the confidence in the world in you.

    20. Smiley binder clips that will help you keep it together.

    21. A gold dachshund stapler, in case your back-to-school shopping happens to coincide with Treat Yo' Self 2017.

    No, Brandon, you may not borrow my stapler.
