For people who have kept notes at their time in uni, do you actually reference or go back to them? Or are they for the most part useless? Contemplating throwing some I kept away.

I used to carry them around with me but it was too crazy after a few moves to different cities and such. This was a time before the cell phone though. Nowadays I take a picture with Adobe Acrobat, they have some sort of archival mode on mobile, and back everything up to PDF.
As an avid "journal" type person the only use old writtings are to me is for CRINGE and disgust at how stupid my previous self was. Simultaneously proud at my accomplishments.

Scan them in, or put them all in a big ordner and store it in a place it doesn't bother you. If you throw them away, you can never go back and look at them and if you stow them away somewhere they don't bother you, you still can.
My notes are mostly rubbish intended for short period use, as in I can use them after a month or so since I still remember the context and such but looking back after years its all gibberish

I'd wager most people use notes for little more than to boost memory. And of course they're great when you read for exams and such. Beyond that, trash. Best notes are written in a form of short text with various abbreviations and key words anyway, which lose their meaning even to their writer after a short time.
