What To Keep In Your Locker


I don’t know about you, but I don’t really use my locker that much. My school is so big that I hardly have time to go to it in between classes. But, I know that other people do use their locker more than I do. So, if I actually used my locker here is what I would keep in it:

1)      Heavy textbooks. I know most classes will either have an online version or a copy of the textbook that you can keep at home. But, there is always one or two classes that require you to carry your book around with you. This is when the locker would come in handy, just keep it in there until you need it that day , so that you don’t have to carry it around with you.

2)      My binders for classes that are after lunch. At my school, we have four classes before lunch, and two after. I would keep all of my materials that are required for those last two classes in my locker during the morning and switch them out during lunch break. This way you are not carrying around extra weight that you don’t need to be.

3)      Pictures of my friends. I probably wouldn’t go all out with wallpaper or one of those stick on chandeliers, but I do think it would be fun to keep pictures of your friends in there with fun magnets.

4)      An extra change of clothes. This is in case you spill something on yourself at lunch. You can just change your clothes in the bathroom so you don’t have to walk around the rest of the day with food all over yourself. Trust me, this can be a lifesaver. Also, if for some reason your school decided to be really cold that day, you will always have a sweatshirt you can put on.

5)      Extra pencils and pens. Okay, I don’t know if this is just me but, I tend to lose my pencils. I don’t know how, but they just tend to disappear on me. So keeping extras in your locker would be helpful. This way you are not that annoying person who always has to ask for a pencil every single day.

6)      Winter coats. Where I live, our winters can be brutally cold. I have to wear big puffy coats to school so I don’t freeze to death walking in and out of school every day. I really don’t want to carry this around with me, so I keep it in my locker.

7)      Hair ties. I have long hair, and sometimes it can get quite annoying. Right now I usually have to keep them on my wrist, but sometimes they can be too tight and really annoying during class. But, if I were to use my locker I would definitely keep some extras in there.

8)      An extra phone charger. I don’t know if your teachers will allow you to charge your phone in their classroom, but if they do I would recommend keeping an extra charger in your locker. Because I know, that sometimes it is easy to forget to charge your phone at night and you don’t want it dying on you in the middle of the day.

Helpful Tip: I would also keep gum or mints in my locker to freshen my breath after lunch.
