5 Topics To Bullet Journal About When You're Bored
Andrew Miller Photography

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

Giphy

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
