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!

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
