I'm mainly using pen and notebook, but for one course I was quite happily using KeepNote. Bare in mind that I have never used OneNote, but if Evernote would be enough for you, KeepNote should do the trick. It's free and seems to be the same since 2012. You might need to test it yourself on WIndows though.

At first glance, I'm really liking KeepNote. It looks ideal for what I want it to do, which is to organize my thoughts and provide a ways for me to keep track of the organization. My only hesitancy at this point is that it hasn't been updated since 2012. It seems abandoned. Is that not an issue?

Long-term? It could be an issue. But it's open source project, even if author will not ever return to it, it's quite likely that some other programmer(s) will expand upon it. Perhaps some already did, since KeepNote works for me I didn't really look much further. You might like Tomboy instead if you want it more current, here is a description

Other thing I have used was using was Emacs with org-mode. While current and actively developed (both org-mode extension and Emacs text editor) I can't really recommend it to you, since it's one of those "takes time to master, but it's worth in the end" types of deal.
