I may have had a Trapper Keeper. I did fall more into the Data Center camp… And I know I am still in possession of an iteration of The Organizer. From college! Loved them … they were/are awesome.
I am too old to have had a Trapper Keeper. I had a loose leaf notebook. And while I took notes in some classes, they were so hard to read, I could not use them. But I remembered what I wrote down, and thus, never had to study. I still pulled down a 3.0 gpa in high school.
Not exactly world burning, but I somehow knew that college was not for me. I was certainly intelligent enough, but I was ready to start living my life, and earning a living. I did eventually take some college classes, mostly as personal enrichment. I think I have somewhere around a year or so of credits.
