Pens are Every Student's Lifeline!

Even with the introduction of laptops and personal computers, you may be surprised how important pens can still be for a student. Ever since I was a high school student where for some reason, the teachers wanted us to started using pens, I always had a hard time finding the right pens to use. Most of the time, I will find a pen that I like in the shop, and after buying it and using it for not more than 1 week, the ink will dry up and I will be left with nothing but a useless pen! I hated that so much! I used to have like over 100 of pens in my drawer, thinking that one day it may work again. But for some reason.. it doesn't.

There was a lot of other ways to try getting the ink out though. I remember one of them was to heat up the tip of the pen with a lighter. The objective was to get the ink out or something. I didn't really know the reason too but it kinda work.. for maybe a day or two, but after a while or so, it would dry up again. And if you don't do it carefully, you'll end up with a melted pen.

Do you have any pen experience too? What are your favorite pens?
