<p>As I’ve said before, notebooks are not necessary if you don’t like them. I use legal pads, rip the pages off, and stuff them in my textbooks. The good thing is that unlike in HS where you get yelled at for putting stuff in textbooks you don’t have to worry about that when you use a book you bought yourself.</p>
<p>I would recommend using pencil instead of pen for your notes though. At some point you’ll want to erase something. Eraseable pens still suck and white out is inconvenient.</p>
