Title says it - when you guys finish classes or even graduate from college, what do you do with your old notes from all your random classes, like English or even History? Throw them away? Burn them? Save them?

If you're a total moron like me, you lug them with you every time you move.
Don't be like me. You'll never use them. Shred them. Put 'em on a bonfire to have them go out in a literal blaze of glory. Just don't pay to move them across the country.
...twice.
What makes you hold onto them if you know you're never gonna use them?
Same reason anyone holds onto old junk - I go to clean it out and I'm hit by a wave of nostalgia that brings back fond memories. I fear that losing the items will eliminate the memories, so I don't part with the items.
It's a dumb feedback loop. Marie Kondo knows better, listen to her.
What did you do with all the things you weren't interested in?
Except for one class that was formative to me, and actually has some useful principles in the real world (and it's stored online anyway), I trashed everything
Unless you have a strong sense that it'll benefit you in future, toss it. If it's in your computer, you may as well keep it though unless you have some mental aversion to it
Two thoughts:
1) I saved them. It came in very handy when I went back to get my MBA. At my school, we could waive certain classes if we showed evidence we had taken a similar class in undergrad. I waived 10 classes since I did my undergrad in business too.
2) Put them in PDF format. This is great if you want to save them without the hassle of lugging around physical papers. Just take a small stack with you to the office each day and use the copy machine to send it to your email.
Throw them away
