5 Topics To Bullet Journal About When You're Bored

In This Article:

Long ago, in a Starbucks within a mystical city, there was an unproductive woman starring at her journal, wondering what she could fill her time with. Minutes droned on as her brain turned to mush. All of a sudden, she began to think about her favorite veggie sausage and how she managed to go a week consistently peering in her freezer only to find an empty package set there as a reminder.

How can one be a productive addition to the adult workforce if she is unable to manage shopping for veggie sausage? So she began to write her grocery list, and didn't stop at that. Below are the top five subjects to write about in a bullet journal!

1. Shopping List

This is simple but can be beneficially time-consuming as well as entertaining; for you have the ability dissect your weekly food intake, and regulate it in an orderly fashion that provides you with the resources to save money and only buy exactly what you need.

I love doing this, because in addition to just my grocery shopping I include my other food/drink spending at coffee shops and other fast food joints, that devour my paycheck and minimize this with wallet-friendly alternatives.

2. Daily routine/ To-do list

Giphy

For those of you with downfalls in the same areas as me, such as remembering to write down important details in your agenda book, the prospect of scoping out your workload, academically as well as personally, can tremendously help to relieve stress and prevent you from taking a second to stop and scratch your head.

3. Simple joys in life

♫ THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGSSSS ♫

Whenever I'm feeling down and forget what life is about, I find it uplifting to sit down and ponder the small aspects of life that often slip by unappreciated. Just look around you, whatever it is, your family, laughter, the air, there is a never-ending supply of goodness all around, and sometimes are you need is to pick your chin up and experience it.

4. What you have achieved and where you want to go

Giphy

Self reflection is a critical part of comprehending cause and effect and the power oneself has in their life. This type of bullet list can help discover accomplishments that you forgot about, or point out the lack of achievement you've seen toward your goals. Either way, self criticism and praise shows you where you came, where you wanna go, and the steps you are taking to get there.

5. Books you want to read and places you want to see

Giphy

Never forget that education is the backbone of our human society, and a way to preserve knowledge to aid future generations. Learning should not stop at school, and it's important to find your educational niche and topic you crave to dig deeper into. In the same manner, travel is all about hands-on experience, and provides a deeper understanding of a concept that cannot be entirely absorbed through the pages. So pick up a book, and get out there into the world!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
