Desk Space

Organizing your desk space is important for doing your homework properly and comfortably. Until my freshman year, I never did my homework at my desk. I always did it in bed or in the living room. I found that doing my homework on my bed was almost in possible. Since my bed was lofted it was hard to get everything I needed up onto my bed and if I forgot something I did not want to get down to get it! I would suggest setting up your desk space to make yourself comfortable. You're going to be spending a lot of time in that spot!

Some items I would purchase are:

• Folder organizer- You can use this for more than just folders. Folders, notebooks, index cards, important documents, etc. can all fit in this box. They come in many different materials, some are wired or cardboard. The cardboard organizers come in different colors. You can get whichever color to match your room! 

This isn't the prettiest organizer but you can get the idea from this picture! This one is especially cool because it's doubled and can hold more documents. 

• Pen and Pencil Organizer- This is very similar to the folder organizer. These are useful in order to keep all your essentials in order and together. There's room for anything you need to put in it. 

I would suggest getting your own printer at school! I don't know how it is at every other school but at URI it's a pain to go to the library and print. Plus you have to pay 10 cents for every page!
