Saving Junk

So I move out of my apartment in 3.5 weeks and I'm sort of packing up stuff since I have to go home every weekend. I'm also throwing stuff out which leads me to this.

I have TONS of notes from all the classes I've taken that I for some reason saved. I also have every graded exam/paper I've ever taken/written. Should I save them?

If you plan on more classes in the near future, keep the stuff. If not, only keep the info you may need for help in future work.

Lots of it is English, math, Spanish, and the stuff like that where there is absolutely no way it'll ever be relevant again. Last summer I threw out my binder from...get this...4th grade I think I still have my stuff from high school

I still have my textbooks from college (1989)

LOL! I have a bunch that they won't buy back since there's newer editions. The sad thing is most of them are only like a year or two old. What really makes me mad is I took a class called World History Prior to 1492 and I had to buy a brand-new book. I go to sell it back and there's a new edition. How much does history PRIOR to 1492 change?

Anyone want a microbiology textbook? It's free+shipping :haha:

So... I'm not the only one who does things like that.

I remember once after 7th (8th?) grade I took my year's worth of stuff and burned it - it was kind of fun I guess.

I don't know why I save this though. 99.999% chance I never look at any of it again.

I have tons of books in my basement


High School and College

High school? How do you keep your high school books?

Too lazy to take them back


I only have a couple;


I quit high school at 16 [ went back and got my diploma by 19]

LOL! You'd have saved money if you gave them back :haha:

I was too busy drinking to care

I used to save everything from 6th grade on, then I needed room in my closet and threw everything out. Now I only have 12 grade stuff and college. I don't know why I still have it though Although it came in handy as I recycled one of my papers I did in 12th grade in college.

Be like me... save everything

I shit you not, I have every paper Marissa and Emily ever brought home from school since Kindergarten I can't make myself throw it out :haha:

Yeah, but your kids are like 6 and 8 years old or something like that. It's cute to save things kids make when they're in K-2. When they start writing about the Dialectics of Colonial Sovereignty let's see if you keep those papers.

:haha: They are 9 and 10, I figure they will throw the things out when they get older. I have every mother's day thing they ever made :haha:
