What Is A Bullet Journal And How To Start
Taylor Schoeni

Bullet Journals have made ways of organizing new again. The original way of bullet journal was a way of rapid logging, such as to do lists, tasks, or events. All kept in this journal. As more picked up their own bullet journal new ways slowly came about. Making the bullet journal innovative and something fun to do. Quickly the bullet journal has become whatever you make it. Which is perfect for the fast way of life and keeping everything organized. For me, my bullet journal has become a way of organizing my busy college schedule, while having something to be creative in, or even used as a notebook when needed. So I want to introduce you to the bullet journal and the best pinterest, youtube, and instagram pages to look at for when creating your own bullet journal. Plus where to start when getting your first bullet journal.

To start, what type of journal should you use? Personally, I use a hard cover Moleskine, with grid paper. There is also a dotted Moleskine, and another that is recommended is the Leuchtturm1917 dotted, which is slightly bigger than the Moleskines. However, you can create your own bullet journal in whatever journal you choose.

Some bullet journalists use specific pens for their bullet journal. The pens I use vary, for day to day stuff I use Staedtler Triplus Fineliners. For major titles, I use a calligraphy pen and for being artsy I use Kuretake Zig Twin Tip Marker, which on one end is a brush marker, then on the other just a marker. Another great everyday black pen to use is Faber-Castell Wallet Pitt Pen Nibs Art Set.

When it comes to finding inspiration for creating your bullet journal, a good beginning place is Mariana's Study Corner on youtube. She has a great video that goes over setting up a bullet journal, plus she has plenty more videos of staying organized. Other youtubers that are worth checking out are Boho Berry and Cheyenne Barton. Boho Berry has made countless bullet journals so she has a lot of great videos of setting up the journal.

Looking for more inspiration? Head on over to pinterest and and go to "Bullet Journal Junkies," a collective page where multiple bullet journalists pin or post great ideas. Another great way of finding spreads is just searching bullet journal in pinterest and it comes up with a lot of different spreads and ideas that can make any bullet journal great!

The next time you are scrolling through instagram check out these pages for even more inspiration or if you just want to see what others are creating for your own inspiration on creating spreads.

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.

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.
