I can’t help it. I’m a clutter magnet. I’ve managed to keep every little thing I ever did in college. I have notebooks, papers, out-of-date textbooks, and even planners from the so-called good old days. I’ll be honest, I haven’t looked at any of this stuff since I graduated.
My clutter isn’t limited to academia. I’ve managed to stuff my closets with old toys, clothes I will never wear again, a huge record collection even if I haven’t had a turntable for over a decade, and other crap.
I did make an attempt to get rid of stuff a couple of years ago. I painstakingly put various things on eBay. That was a good experience with just a few exceptions. It’s kind of scary that there are people out there willing to buy my clutter.
