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.

cousins

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
