How do you take notes in college?

I just use a good-old notebook and pen for all my notes. While typing on my laptop might be easier, it’s the actual writing of the words that helps me remember the information better. Plus, when I study, I like to be able to lay on my bed and just flip from page to page and not sit up and face the glare of my laptop for an hour. That’s just going to hurt my eyes. There’s also the guilty confession that if my notes are on my laptop, I’ll distract myself with the internet. Sad but true. With a notebook, my laptop will be safely shut off and as far away from me as possible.

Also, the fact that I use a notebook allows me to doodle on the margins. That habit hasn’t died.
