I am a really big pack rat. I am just cleaning out my room and I have found drawings and notebooks full of poems and worksheets from when I was like in 3rd grade. I don't want to keep them, but yet I do. I think it is really cool to have stuff from a really long time ago and I'd like to look at them in about 20 years or so, but they are taking up space in my room and now there are just a bunch of notebooks in my room. Do you think I should get rid of them?

Only the ones that mean something. Don't let yourself get buried in clutter.

Get you a Rubbermaid container from Walmart for less than $7 and make that the storage area for your childhood keepsakes. Every once in a while go through the container to see if you still have the sentimental value to the items inside. If not, toss the ones you no longer want to keep so that you make room for more items. I do think it is special to keep some things so that you can reflect on them as well as share them with your own children some day.
Good luck!

No I dont think you should get rid of them.. Get plastic storage tub and put them all in there.. Than you can look at them when ever you want too.. I still have my stuff since i was in first grade.. By the way Im 24 now so .. I would say NO.

Not unless you plan on having children one of these days and if you do you might like to give them to your children when they get old enough to appreciate them as I did with some dolls I had when I was a kid I kept them even though they were taking up space I still kept them in hopes that someday I would have children and they would be girls, well that day came but I had only a boy but still kept my dolls hoping to pass them along to one of my relatives children. Good Luck

no, i think that would be SO cool to share with your children when there older.. i know Ive kept some things that my daughter plays with now and she really seems to enjoy them. i know it can be a pain to hold on too but maybe your mom or some one could hang on to it for you ? my poor mom hung on to all my junk for me!!it will pay off in the end trust me. good luck

Yes Keep them, if you throw them out you will regret it. Get you a plastic container with a lid and store them in there.

Personally I think you should keep them, because they remind you of when you were in 3rd grade. So I think you should keep them.

Maybe try getting a file cabinet or even those vaccum bags.
