7 Things You'll Need To Start A Bullet Journal
Adriana Gil

Bullet journals are slowly taking over. There are Instagram pages dedicated to them and Pinterest boards full of ideas. It's an easy way to stress relief and get some creativity moving. You can make it literally anything you want to.

Here are seven things you need to start one.

1. Journal

This can be anywhere from a sketchbook, to a dotted journal, to a college ruled journal. The options are endless, like many things about bullet journaling. Pick the journal you believe will suit you best.

2. Art Supplies

Pens. Color pencils. Watercolor. Acrylic. Anything art related works! This journal is for you so it differs between person to person. Some people only want pens and others want everything from paint to stickers. Get the things you think you'll want but don't worry, you don't need to get everything at one. Let it flow.

3. Inspiration!!!

This is personally one of my favorite things. Looking for inspiration is just fun! Go to Pinterest or check out Instagram pages. There is so much people do with their journals and so much you can do that I am not sure if it's possible to run out of inspiration and ideas.

4. Plan

Plan what you want this journal to be, but also don't plan too much. Let yourself have creative space and let yourself make mistakes.

5. Prepare for mistakes

Mistakes are part of life and they are for sure part of bullet journaling. You really just have to go with the flow when they happen. You can cover them up with pictures and such or you can embrace them and create something out of them.

6. A start date

Not actually though!!! You don't need to wait until January 1st to start a journal, you can start it at any time. So start it today or tomorrow or whenever your heart desires.

7. Get creative

This is your time to shine. You are in control. So take control and get creative with what you want to do.

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.
