Going into a new semester calls for new books, notebooks and whole bunch of other stuff to organize. This will be my 6th semester of college I still have yet to find the perfect way to organize myself. I tend to do something a little different each time. Here are a few of my organization plans going into this new semester.

Color Code

I love being organized, if I could be a professional organizer I would. Setting up organizing ideas is my favorite thing, staying organized is when I can fall off the wagon. I suggest coloring coding because it make everything simpler. A color stands for a specific subject then you can just grab whatever items you need that are the color and BAM you have everything. This also helps during those times you forget something and need your roommate to bring you your stuff you just have to tell them a color.

Agenda

An agenda is the top organization tip I would suggest to anyone in school. I find to be a key thing to write down assignments. My favorite part is the monthly calendars that they have before the start of each month I put all major assignments and events there so I can see everything laid out in one big plan verse looking at the things from one assignment too the next this actually helps me keep up with my work more than just writing them in the weekly or daily sections.

Multi-subject Folder

I have found that a multi-subject folder is a savor. I was working in a classroom for an internship when I discovered multi-subject folders and now I am obsessed. instead of carrying around 5 different folders that can be buckle and take up a lot of space. I have one multi-subject folder that has eight pockets. Saving me lots of space in my bag to keep my laptop as well.

Graphing notebook

It may sound crazy but for some reason I would rather use a graphing notebook to write in over a normal college ruled notebook. I think the graph paper provides more freedom if you want to make charts in to help organize

Note Cards ( I like the colored ones)

Note cards are a key when studying for test. The colored ones I think just makes studying fun and the rings on them just keeps them all together and neat.

Multi colored pens and highlighters.

Like note cards different colored pens and highlighters make studying and note taking a lot more entertaining. the different colors help connect material and add a pop to your notes.

Note taking apps that work on all devices

A note taking app that I loved is One Note it works with my PC, IPad and my Iphone. Any notes I do from any device get saved and will appear automatically on a different device.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
