        Black and blue Pens, mechanical pencils with refills, possibly a couple permanent markets of different colors, all of them in a convenient side pouch on my backpack.

      Some pens are sold in boxes with 30 or 50.

      I have brought a box of those a while ago, but somehow they are all gone by now.
