Before your kids graduate from High School make sure they create a bucket list of things they want to accomplish before going off to college
Teen girls love gel pens. The only colored pens I had was the pen that you could change the four colors from the top. I am probably dating myself.
Anyway, gel pens are the rage and we recently came across a new BIC product that even the adults will enjoy using. How many of you have coloring books? Do you ever use a gel pen to color? The new BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry gel pens are a necessary buy while shopping for school supplies.

Since I have a teen daughter, I wanted her opinion of these pens she has much more experience than I!!
I’m turning this blog post over to her to share what she and one of her left-handed friends thought of these pens. Here are her thoughts on these new gel pens.
These pens are colorful and vibrant. They have a .7 inch tip which is, in my opinion, the perfect size tip to take notes with, resulting in the letters being not too thick or skinny. While writing, the pens flow smoothly and the ink is very bold.
There is a grip on the pen to help achieve the perfect penmanship. The most attractive feature on this pen is that the ink is advertised to dry 3x faster* than other pens.
*vs. BIC® Gel-ocity® Original, based on average dry times of blue, black and red. Individual dry times may vary by color.
If you are a quick writer or note taker, this quality may be enticing to you. After a long exam or paper, I find my hand covered in ink or lead from whatever writing utensil I was using. I am right handed, but my left handed friends have it much worse.
They did seem to dry faster than other gel pens I have and the amount of smearing if definitely reduced.

To test the pens my friend and I wrote out goals for our last three years of high school. We created a so you can fill them out yearly or by semester. It’s up to you.
We tried drawing and writing. My friend is left handed and only saw a little smearing on his hand after drawing and writing for a period of time.
Myself, a right handed individual, saw no smearing or traces of the ink on my hand. To conclude, these pens are smooth ballpoint pens and are worth trying out if you have trouble with ink residue on your hands.
Available in a variety of bright and vivid colors, new BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry gel pens provide a smooth writing experience that inspires creativity. With fast-drying ink, what you’ve created, stays created.

I loved having colorful pens in high school! It made taking notes a lot more fun!
I LOVE the idea of a high-school bucket list! When I was planning the various shenanigans I was going to get into, I always had to improvise and come up with something last-minute.
Now, at the beginning of the year, I could write “Paint the drum-major’s car tires pink. Use a wrist-rocket and paint balls during EVERY assembly. Don’t get caught.” and make them goals instead of spur-of-the-moment antics.
I want these! That looks like a fun way to make goals
I love gel pens they are awesome! Your printable of the bucketlist is awesome as well I am sure kids would love it.
We love gels pens. Well more like me, I’m addicted to fun pens and using them in my planner!
I love good set of gel pens! I also had one of those pens where you change the colour at the top! I had one with 10 different coloured pens in it, but it was so fat you could hardly write with it!
I love having colorful pens. I use them to stay organized, hehe. I know my nephew would love the High School Bucket List printable. He’s just starting, so he’ll have plenty of time to fill and fulfill it!
I love colourful pens, and, to be fair, who can have too many pens? 🙂 Those look great! It’s never easy to find the pens that won’t smudge or bleed through the pages. Glad these are working well!
I NEED to get some of these! I am a ‘leftie’ as well and ink constantly gets all over my hands. I have been searching for pens that don’t smear and get all over me, these sound awesome! The bucket list is such a cute idea also!
That is a very cute idea! Great way to get young adults and children excited about their future–might I suggest renaming it to “bucket list goals?” It’s also important to encourage children to work on building the foundation toward long-term goals as well as short term goals. Just my take on it!
Gel pens are so fun and I love the colors that come in this set. I loved HS and making a bucket list is a great idea.
I love this idea and I loooooooove the gel pens! My grandson is a huge drawing fan, I bet he’d even love these. As for the bucket list, i’d love to take a peek at that haha.. !
Those pens look so great! I love pens for my planner, I need to check these out!
I love the idea of a bucket list for high school. It is a great way for the kids to set goals.
Forget teen girls, I love colorful gel pens! Bic makes the best gel pens as far as smoothness of writing goes.
I just wrote with one of these pens the other day, and they were fantastic! I love a good gel pen.
We just bought these exact ones from Walmart! I didn’t realize gel pens came in so many colors now. I’ll bet they drive the teachers nuts!
