Bullet journaling or having a "bujo" is all the rage now a days! I absolutely love my bullet journal and ever since I've started it, I cant imagine myself stopping. Bullet journaling can be used for a number of things and is extremely helpful. If you're looking to start a bullet journal but feel a little stuck on where to start have no fear! Here are my 10 tips for starting a bullet journal.

1. Get A Journal You Like.

The journals I have always used are the brand Moleskine. Moleskine has all different size, shape, and colored journals. The one I'm using right now is just a simple white hard covered journal.

2. Find The Right Pens.

These are the pens I am currently using. These are the Paper Mate Ink joy Gel Pens and Stabilo fineliners. I recommend something that has a variety of colors and a fairly thin point.

3. Get Highlighters.

As of right now, I'm just using these very basic Sharpie highlighters that have a "smear guard" so they don't smear over the pens I use. I do want to invest in getting the highly recommended mildliners.

4. Get Washi Tape.

Washi tape is a great tool to use to decorate your journal. There is a HUGE variety of washi tape so GO NUTS with it!

5. Get Correction Tape.

I highly recommend getting correction tape rather than using a regular correction pen because it dries faster so you can write on it immediately after putting it down!

6. Get Some Inspiration.


My favorite places to go for bujo ideas are Pinterest and Youtube. You can also search on Instagram!

7. Be Fancy And Creative.

Take this time to work on some fancy lettering, brackets, borders, or doodles!

8. Find Your Own Format.

There are literally millions of different ways to format your journal! You can find a theme or you could switch it up depending on what kind of page you're doing!

9. Find Time.

I cannot stress this one enough! Find the time to do this! It will make a huge difference!

10. DON'T GIVE UP!

You're going to have the bullet journal of your dreams! Just don't give up on it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
