It really helps b...I do a lot of these things, too. It really helps because I take 15-20 credits every semester and I also work, have an 8 year old, and am currently pregnant and seeing not only my prenatal midwife but also a high risk physician. It is really critical to keep track of my appointments, and I am also very uptight when it comes to keeping my grades up.<br /><br />I buy a planner every year and the first thing I do when I get my syllabi is write down all of my assignments in my planner. I like to write them in on the day before they are due just in case my busy schedule gets the best of me and I see it at the end of the day. Then I know I don't have to panic, just hurry!<br /><br />I like the folder you found a lot. I use something a little more intense because of my lifestyle. I use a plastic expanding file folder with 12 pockets. Usually I have 5-6 classes. Last semester my tabs were "To Do Now" for assignments due within the next couple of days, "Schedule" with a detailed printout of my school and/or work schedule, "Syllabus" where I put every single class's syllabus. Then I have tabs for every single class, and if I have labs for the class the lab gets its own tab. The last tab in my folder is "Done" for assignments that are done but not turned in yet. Whatever tabs are left over I use for whatever is relevant to my life during that semester. Last semester I was going through some advising to schedule the last few semesters of my BS degree and I saw my adviser probably 10-15 times, so I had a tab dedicated to that paperwork. This time I might dedicate one to pregnancy things or doctor's notes. For your lifestyle it might be a good thing to have a tab for sorority paperwork or flyers... it's nice to have the customizable option and to keep everything in one place. Depending on my classes, I might also have a tab to keep blue books and scantrons in, if I have classes where they are needed. I never threw any paperwork out so my folder got pretty heavy by the end of the semester, and I have even had to replace it a few times if the bottom of it cracked or the closing loop broke. I still love having one so I don't mind the investment!<br /><br /><br />The only other thing I do differently is my notebook situation. I have tried a lot of different things and I can honestly say that having separate notebooks for each class is not for me. It never fails that I end up grabbing the wrong one or something and my bag is often too heavy to carry EVERYTHING. Instead, I get a Five Star 5 subject because I usually don't use all the paper in each section, but each section is divided by a stiff piece with pockets to keep papers I need on hand or to keep with my notes. I do like the idea of having the window in front for the syllabus... but I just know I have terrible luck with separate notebooks. I can keep all of my classes in one place and not have to worry about mixing anything up.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Another tip I use that might be helpful: I usually have 5-6 different classes with 5-6 different syllabi written by 5-6 different professors. I HATE that. I HATE HATE HATE it. Every semester, when I get my 5 subject together, the first thing I do with it is rewrite the key parts of the syllabus for each class in the same format. The professor's name and contact info, the grading scale and point breakdown for the class, and then the assignment schedule written how it makes sense to me. This also allows me to keep track of my grade all semester long. That might just be me being overly high strung, but it's what works for me... and I find it much easier to look at all of my classwork in the same format.<br /><br /><br />You gave out a lot of great tips here! I have been in college on and off and then back on since 2006. I have always been a "good" student, but I notice that I can perform my best when I am organized. I made some mistakes when I was fresh out of high school and I've been trying to bring my GPA up from a FREAKING 2.5, which is very very bad for me. Organization has been my savior!Reneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410039934547762479.post-17637112405342740812013-07-19T16:44:56.183-04:002013-07-19T16:44:56.183-04:00The notebooks I purchased from wal-mart they are M...The notebooks I purchased from wal-mart they are Mead brand and the clear from covers say Trapper on them.
