hi! here are some ways to keep you things organized and easy to find.
- binders
- pros: vvv helpful for keeping up with class work, all you papers in one place, everythings is easy to divide, best way to transfer things from a folder, binder covers (best thing ever, super easy to make)
- cons: bulky, can rip if too many things in it, hole-punching most things, take up a lot of room, stuffing everything in the front pocket
- ★ get plastic dividers with pockets!! & buy a hole puncher
- folders
- pros: good for loose paper or homework/worksheets, for one subject (math, history, music)
- cons: rip/break if too many things are in it, crumpled papers
- ★ don’t get paper ones! + color code for your classes!
- file folder
- pros: good for seperating classes, comes in different sizes & pocket numbers, already divided and sometimes color coded
- cons: take up a lot of room if there’s too many things, can get heavy fast, shoving things in = crumpled things
- ★ keep it at home to transfer things or keep if your locker (if you have one)
- pencil cases
- great way to organize pens, pencils, markers, etc
- ★ only bring a limited amount to school! you don’t need all your supplies
- care bag
- items: pads/tampons, cramp meds, wipes, hair ties, bobby pins, travel size deodorant, hand sanitizer, kleenx/tissue, lip balm, mints, whatever you want
- bags: makeup bag or a bath & body works bag
- laptop
- useful for typing notes and storing them incase the physical copy gets ruined or lost
- folders for each subject (color coded if you like)
- planner
- good for keeping track of homework, assignments, tests, etc.
- you can use a bujo, regular planner, google calender, or an app
