I'm a pack rat and I tend to hold onto everything.... I have a couple boxes full of old notebooks, etc from back in the college days that I haven't looked at in years - should I throw them out? I will probably never look at them again. Help out a pack rat, peeps!

Frame them or use them as wallpaper

i go that game. Paper mario is good fun. U know, that game is very tongue in cheek. I would not be too surprised if that actually happens in the game (i still have not finished it yet)

I hoard paper...I have old notebooks too.

I think I'll hang on to my textbooks for reference (although I haven't really looked at them in 4+ years). I figure they may come in handy at some point. But, my notes? I should probably throw them out.

What I did was go through the notes, and keep all flyers and such that I felt would be looked at or should be looked at some time in the future. I put them all in a shoe box.

This is partly not compleatly the truth because, when I went to college I got a digital recorder. I would record the lectures, and then I would download them to the computer. I would then edit out all the stupid questions and dead air. I would also delete all the side storys and such nonsense. In this way I could listen to the lectures perfectly before exams. I can still listen. Sometime I think I will.
