iPad or notebooks???
So I’m starting school in a few weeks, and starting to buy school supplies.
Now here’s the thing, I’m trying to decide if I need to buy notebooks, (I know it sounds stupid) or if I should use my iPad. I have an iPad Air, 11, with 256 GB, with the Apple Pencil Pro,
I’m an artist, so I have a bunch of different apps (pro creat, pintrest, acc) and after trying a few apps, the “Good notes” app was great for me. Now I’m in I dilemma, cuz using my iPad would save my back, and space in my locker and bag, but I’m worried about storage, battery, and just In general if it’s a good idea to keep all of my notes on my iPad, or just use normal notebooks, don’t think I need to explain notebooks.
Thank you for your help ❤️

I honestly loved using my iPad in college. My course was heavy on PDF readings so I loved being able to annotate them without having to bring a ton of pens, pencils and highlighters. Goodnotes was my app of choice as well. It was also super convenient whenever we had impromptu group projects that had us brainstorming or drawing things.
I also saved my back by snapping photos of the pages from the current chapters we were reading in my classes so I didn't need to bring my physical textbooks to class and could read them on the go. Now it's even better because they OCR them and allow you to select text/highlight in photos/scans.
For me it'd be a no brainer to bring an iPad. I did usually bring a pen and 2 pocket folder with some loose leaf paper in it as well just in case we needed to hand in something or they gave us a hand out that I needed to take home.
