Transcript

What's the best pen ever? The Paper Mate, there's this little pack of very small, short, colored pens, and I don't know why I bought them. I must have bought them in college. I still have them. And if one color goes missing, I must find it immediately. I use these constantly. I love Muji pens. Bic PenMate is what I, what I think it's called. These pens but in blue. Great for notetaking. You can just write, write, write, they glide across the page and they don't really smudge. Pilot G2, I think it's called. I used to use those all the time. Bic pens. There are some that I have literally had for like at least 3 or 4 years, and I use them regularly and they still like write perfectly. The Gelocity pen. Being left handed, a lot of pens end up smearing on paper. The best pen ever is the one you have on you.
