Is it normal to get worked up over school supplies?

I spent the longest time trying to decided whether to get 7 separate binders, or two big ones for school. I also lose sleep at night trying to map out my daily route through school, when to go to my locker, etc. (It's a new school.) Is this normal, or am I paranoid?

  • Hmm I would say yes and no. Yes for parents having to shop for all those supplies, especially if they do it all a week before school starts.

    I think it can be stressful for you starting a new school and wanting to be ready and lose sleep at night. I think it's normal but you should relax a little and not go crazy over this though.

    I remember when I needed a 3 inch binder or some crap like that and I had a one inch binder, the teacher would write notes to my parents everyday to tell them I needed a fucking 3 inch binder. At the end of the year, I only had 20 fucking sheets of paper in it. I swear some people are just born retarded and don't know what common sense is.

    Go for the separation of binders, much easier to organize that way...

    Not when you're in the IB program for high school. ;)

    • Awesome. I wish you a great year of school and enjoy it while you can. (Once you're done with school and start working for good, you'll say to yourself how good it was then, true story)
