We all have our ways of being organized. Depending on what kind of learner you are, there are various ways that we take notes, study, and complete assignments. As the semester begins, I am realizing that there are certain ways that I stay organized, sometimes too organized. But hey, whatever gets the job done right?

If you're anything like me...

1) You have a very detailed planner.

I have each class color coded, and each class has its own little box. Work is a separate color and so is any other extra activities I may partake in. Looking for a planner? I recommend the Happy Planner. It comes with stickers! Every organized girls dream.

2) You color code your notes.

The Paper Mate flair tip colored pens are my life.

3) You make a post it list of what you have to do throughout the day in the order it has to be done.

Don't believe me? Just ask my roommate. There is always one on my wall.

4) If your notes do not turn out like you want them to, or your handwriting doesn't seem neat enough, you write your notes over.

It's worth the time I promise. Having the same handwriting throughout your notes while studying is pretty satisfying.

5) You can only get the 5 subject notebook with the clear pocket in the beginning of each section. That way you can print them out and put them at the beginning of each section.

Which leads me to my final point...

6) The syllabus sheet with all of the assignments is your holy grail. As soon as they come out online, you print them out and get to highlighting.

So if your new years/semester resolution is to become more organized, I hope this gave you some ideas to get rolling. If you become more organized it can help with stress and time management, but create an unhealthy obsession with any office supply store.
