Hey everybody! I love to help people and I've been the designated advice-giver amongst my friends for years so I've gotten pretty good at it. If I haven't been through it, I know someone who has, so feel free to ask me anything! I just wish I had known about this site when I was younger and needed more advice of my own.

ever since i was in 7th grade (i'm a soon to be sophomore in high school), i have always kept my old school work for the entire year. like if marking period one finishes, i'd put all the work for each subject into a folder labeled, for example, "english, marking period one." however, in freshman year, i got SO MANY PAPERS. and we weren't allowed to clean out our binders until the end of the semester... or TWO marking periods worth! it was crazy. but after the first semester ended and i went to put all the papers into my folders, i realized that folders just weren't cutting it. the folders were WAY overpacked. i have seen drawers that have dividers in them that way, like this:

but my desk doesn't have drawers like that (and i don't want to buy a wheely storage unit).
does anyone have any ideas of how to store my old papers? please do NOT suggest binders either, because it will take forever to hole punch
and i only keep the papers until the last day of school, and then i sort through them to figure out what's truly important that i'll use for a long time & what's unimportant.
thanks (link)

They have little storage boxes with the dividers already in them just like the picture you have. They aren't too expensive and can hold a good amount. You can find them many places like Staples or even Wal-Mart. Here is an example so you know what to look for (and it's on sale!)...
