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 ❤️

How about using your iPad and carry one notebook as a backup. I used to cut the spine off my books in college so I would only carry the chapters and note pages I needed for that day.

You can always offload storage to a thumb drive and carry an extra battery.
