Help your college kid get organized
editor
I was at my local bookstore
earlier this week and this
CollegeCase
(US$20) caught my eye. It's a sleek binder filled with pocket
folders for bills, banking information, pay stubs, and all of those
important things that your kids will need to keep track of now that
they're on their own in college. It also includes useful
organizational tips.
Seems like a good way to get your kid prepared for the new school
year, no?
If you want a more budget-friendly option, visit your local office
supply store and buy a one inch binder, dividers and a few pocket
folders.

Or buy a much, much cheaper heavy paper or plastic accordian file. No need to spend this much on something so incredibly generic that you can buy one at a dollar store...but, if you college bound student is only now learning how to organize receipts and records, there is a good chance it won't be used, no matter how sleek it is.

Or you could realize you child is actually an adult and stop babying them. This is why on campus's all over the administration has to treat students like 9th graders and dictate their every move, even though many of them are self sustainable adults. Too bad it's not like it used to be and parents must baby their children until adult hood which in turns forces colleges to do the same. Like when my college tried to get rid of the school magazine because they had a Sex Issue, Parents were outraged that their ADULT children learn about sex. If you child can't take care of these issues, finacial or other wise perhaps you should just consider where you went wrong. Let your ADULT child make these mistakes step in when they really need you. If they need a binder let them figure it out for themselves.
