Student Blog: Tools For Organizing Your Studies... and Other Stressful Things
by Student Blogger: Aubrey Donovan - March 22, 2023

Ever since I had to switch out of advanced math in the 6th-grade mid-semester I've made sure to keep track of my homework, test schedule, and extracurricular activities. After this math class incident, I started to write my homework to-do list on my hand so I would not forget it. However, this wasn't the most efficient way of doing things since yesterday's homework may not wash away enough to make room for today's.
