How to stay organized for school

     

 When I was in high school I had one notebook for all six of my classes and everyday my bag was filled with that book, a folder, a pen and my makeup. You didn't need to be organized to survive through school. BUT, when you're in college it's a different story. You need to be able to find your notes for each class in order to study for your exam. Juggling seven college classes and be tough, but with great organization it can be managed.
Here's how I stay organized:

• I have a giant binder that fits all of my classes. I separate each class into a different tab with the syllabus in the front pocket. I put all of my notes in order from chapters and if my class has exam study guides I separate my note sections with those.

• Use an agenda! I know, agendas seem so "middle school" but really, it works. I NEVER use to use them, but when you have seven classes- along with meetings- along with clubs you get a little turned up-side-down with your schedule. It works when you have to remember when you have two paper due on the same day, a test after that and a club meeting before that.

1. I bought my planner from Office Max. Target has some cute ones and if you're willing to pay a little extra for a nice one, Erin Condren has awesome ones.
2. I use different color sharpie pens (the ones that don't leak through) and make each of my activities in the corresponding color. All my meetings and clubs are marked with black, my biology class is pink, my english class is purple, you get the idea.
3. On the month part of the calendar, I cross of the days as we go.

• I have a weekly dry erase board calendar that I hang above my bed. I got this one from Office Max.
  
  It is awesome because you can just look above you and see what's going on this week instead of constantly going in your planner. Very useful.
