Organization in School

     There are two different types of people when it comes to organization in school. You have the person who color coordinates their subjects, highlight and has a place for everything. Then there is the type of person who throws their papers randomly in their backpack. Your organization process wavers as you go through the school year, I know from experience.

     Let's talk about the person who highlights and sticky notes everything. At the beginning of the year you start with a fresh planner, fresh highlighters, fresh sticky notes, and fresh notebooks, etc. By the time you get home from the first day of school you have everything perfectly highlighted, sticky noted and coordinated in your backpack. Just wait until you get to the middle of the year. By the time you get through your first final, all of the perfect organization is gone, everything is a scribbled mess. Yes I think everyone has gone through this phase at least once a year.

     Now there is the person who just shoves random papers into their backpack, no organization skills at all. I bet every single person has encountered someone whose just pulls a pile of paper containing their science, history, math and who know's what else. Those are the kinds of kids teacher dislike the most. If that method works for you then hey who is stopping you I guess.

     When it comes to school organization, there are different ways people tend to organize, it all depends on what works for you. If throwing papers into your bag randomly works for you, then go ahead. If you want to highlight and sticky note everything and that works for you, then go ahead. Organization is all about what works for you, no matter what way you do it. Sometimes when you try new things and they don't feel right and you find yourself going back what you used to do, that is kind of what organizing is. Someone thinks you do a bad job with organizing so they try and change it, but that makes it worse. Find what works for you.
