When you are a college student, there are few things more vital to your success than a [highlighter pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stabilo-boss). However, they are typically cumbersome and they are only useful for highlighting sections of notes.

This writing utensil fuses the highlighter and the calligraphy pen, and Pelikan has created a multi-functional tool. Since the pen is easy to hold and write with, you can take on many different writing tasks with it. Also, since it spurts out bright yellow ink, it is easy to use this while proofreading, or highlighting chapters in a book.

This highlighting pen is also interesting looking. It has a clear exterior, and it will definitely attract attention since people are not used to seeing a calligraphy pen highlighting notes.

This writing utensil will be the perfect companion when going away to school.
