Five Star Reinforced Paper, College Ruled

This may seem like a basic school supply, but when it comes to lined paper it has to be college ruled, and if it's reinforced that's a huge bonus. College Ruled is perfect for long notes and can transform your writing, though if you tend to write very largely, we recommend sticking with wide-ruled. Reinforced paper is great for long-term use and keeps papers from tearing throughout the year, leaving your notes in exceptional condition.
