Do you perform regular backups of your computer or is it being done automatically? If your answer is "I don't know" then it probably is not being done. If you don't want to lose valuable pictures and files that are presently on your computer and phone, you need to be doing a regular backup of your device. Make sure your phone is automatically set to backup to your computer OR that you plug your phone into your computer regularly to back it up. (If you set up your Google Photos during class, then all of your photos are being backed up in the Google "cloud.")If you aren't presently backing up your computer, I'd suggest purchasing a simple external storage drive. You plug it into your computer, go through a simple setup, then it will perform a backup of your computer. If you leave the device plugged in to your computer, you can schedule a backup to happen automatically. Otherwise, you can just plug it in every week and the backup process will begin.
The first time you perform a backup will take much longer than any subsequent backups.
If you want to put this on your Christmas list here is a great device ($51.99) that works on both PC and Mac computers: Seagate Portable External Storage
