You could throw your textbooks into your locker, or maybe leave a lunch in it for a week or two. But the towering chaos in there just makes your life harder, and, in the case of the lunch, smellier. This here is a short guide to the art of organizing your locker. 

The top shelf of your locker makes for a good spot to store those textbooks and/or library books. But it’s just a little too small for binders, unfortunately, so maybe stack those in the bottom. And those little metal things in the locker, they’re called “hooks”. You can hang things on them. You girls could hang a purse, or whatever you have, on the left hook. Guys, your backpack can go on the left too. Maybe your coat or hoodie can hang around on the back hook. And if you have a lunch bag, or some other kind of bag, you could hang it on the right. Again, Girls can put their “extra” shoes on the floor, to keep the binders company. As for the door, tape your schedule to it, hang a pencil holder, and maybe some pretty pictures. Really, it’s your choice. And try to take out your lunches before they grow legs…

There you have it, a short guide to keeping your locker semi-clean. But I bet most of you already knew all this, right?
