Journals have become wildly popular via bloggers and famous instagrammers, and honestly, they deserve some attention because journals are a great thing. Although journals can take time to write out, they can tremendously improve your organization as well as help you keep track of your health, appointments, or just a simple grocery list. If you have even considered journaling and are not sure where to start, here are 13 topics to get you started.

Bible verses 

Bible verses that are important to you are a great thing to write down so you can look back and remember what you have been through! Use lots of fonts and colors to make these verses look really good in your journal.

Daily moods

Keeping a graph or chart of your daily moods and fill in the boxes with a red, blue, or yellow pen to depict how you were feeling that day. This technique allows you to look back on a longer period of time and see patterns in your moods.

Weight 

If you are on a weight-loss or weight-gain journey, a journal is a great way to keep up with your weigh-ins. Find a fun way to write these numbers, maybe make a graph and connect the numbers with lines to see a visual picture of your progress.

Grocery lists 

Big grocery hauls are a breeze with a long list and boxes to check!

Assignment dates 

Writing down major tests, papers, speeches, etc. month by month is a productive way to be able to look at what to prepare for without being overwhelmed.

Class schedules

At the beginning of a semester it is easy to get confused by all the different times. With a spreadsheet and color-coated weeks schedule, it is easy to decipher between different days, buildings, and times.

Books to read/movies to watch/songs to listen to

If you're anything like me, it is easy to hear a song and be like "ooh I need to add that to my playlist" and then twenty minutes later you can't remember the name or tune or any single lyric. By putting songs, books, movies, etc. you need to remember in a journal, it is convenient for when you can't decide what to watch next on Netflix.

Sleeping hours 

Logging the number of hours you sleep will give you a better overall view of your sleep health.

Water intake 

Drawing little cups and coloring them blue after drinking a bottle of water is a super simple way to make sure you are getting an adequate daily intake of water

Meal plans 

Writing down your meals for the week or even fun recipes to try will help keep you on track with your healthy eating habits, and it will help you make a better grocery list.

Steps per day 

If you have a step goal, writing down how many steps you get each day is a fun way to make sure you're hitting the mark.

Birthdays 

Knowing when your friends birthdays are can be a tough thing to cram in your brain. Writing them down will ensure you don't forget again this year!

Appointments

Hair, doctor, dentist, and dermatologist appointments can be overwhelming at times. Making categories of different appointments with the corresponding dates and times will make scheduling and being on time super easy.

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.
