So I'm getting ready to move again.  Cleaning out my old things, and being the hyper-vigilant packrat that I am, have accumulated an obscene amount of school junk.

Is there any value in saving old assignments?

What about articles that I've printed off?

Does anyone honestly ever re-use these again?

How about for grad. school?

about a month ago i threw away a ton of old school work. unless it was something you're super proud of, trash it. and keep only as much as will fit in one folder. that became my rule of thumb.

Agreed. When I was last home, I had a huge box full of school stuff, and I ended up throwing most of it away. I felt ridiculous feeling sad about it, but it had to be done!

I save everything. I know how you feel.

I thought it felt really good to get rid of a ton of stuff. I almost wish I'd kept some of my gender theory stuff but then again, I probably wouldn't be able to understand my "notes" anyways. HAR HAR HAR

I found a lot of use for the articles I had printed off. Mostly because I didn't read them the first time around. But yeah...the last paper I wrote I even collected other peoples' old assignments. but You probably chucked em by now anyway.
