Things I have from my childhood 0-18:
My senior memory book (which is basically a scrapbook)
A few shoebox-sized plastic bins with programs, some awards, school newspapers, old essays, etc.
Yearbooks
Photos upon photos upon photos. Most are in photo albums but a lot are in boxes.
I plan on keeping these things indefinitely.
Things I have not kept:
Report cards (maybe my mom did?)
Awards
Plaques
Medals
School T-shirts which do not fit and were not turned into throw pillows
I do not miss these things, though I do wish I had kept my awards in a binder, just to glance at every now and then.
