Default Text books and others

When it comes to keeping text books, papers and other documents related to my study, I have to admit that I was not an organized student, might be the worst among my friends in college. Now I have no idea where many of the text books, note books and other papers have gone.

For a student, that one of the worst situations to be in. If you don't know where your stuff is, how are you going to study?

I sold many of my books back at the end of most terms. The others are in boxes in the attic and have gone untouched for years. As for notes and papers, I kept them for several years and finally threw away the notes and only kept the good papers. For me it was just clutter.

Oh no... I had no problems when I was in college keeping my textbooks and papers in order. They stayed in the dorm when I wasn't using them in school. Now as an adult I don't know what to do with mine.

Yes, that's really bad. I am glad that eventually I managed to graduate. But don't get me wrong. The text books and other documents (I mean the mess LOL) were still there when I was studying. I just have no idea where they have gone after I finished my study.

I don't keep many of my text books after finishing my study in college. I agree with Jenny, it was just clutter. Most of them are useless in my practical life now. ^_^

I threw out all my textbooks too but now I wish I had kept them. Its unbelievable, the number of situations that have cropped up over the years where I could have used them.

I pass down my textbooks to my brother and to my friends who need them. I have friends who can't afford to buy books so I would give it to them. If my brother need it then he would be the first to get it before I give them to my friends.

I have a shelf that is strictly for my school stuff. That way the kids know not to get into it and I have everything that I need in one place.

I kept the textbooks for my major subjects and have used them too after graduation, as references. I either gave away of sold the other textbooks.
