Whether you're in a dorm room or living at home, keeping your desk organised and your class materials all in one place will help you succeed this semester. Sure, you don't have to lug heavy textbooks to class — but you shouldn't have to search for them underneath drink coasters or piles of laundry either. Keep all your books, notebooks, pencils, chargers, and anything else you may need next to your desk, so it's always handy when you need it. You can also add some things to your desk and surrounding area that make you feel happy and calm (always helpful before tests). You don't have to Marie Kondo your life; simply having a tidy, organised space will help you stay focussed.
