Here are some things you need to bullet journal...

A Journal

Make sure you find a journal with thick pages and that is dotted, or plain. A medium to a large sized notebook can if you are wanting to have charts and diagrams. I recommend the Luechtturm Hardcover or Moleskine Hardcover, these are a perfect size and come in all different colors.

Pencils

Pencils can be used to outline your boxes or lettering until you put color on it. I prefer the Ticonderoga #2 Pencils because they erase easily and do not leave smudges.

Make sure you get pens that dry quickly so the ink does not smudge as you continue to write or draw. My go-to pens are Papermate InkJoy Gel Pens or Sharpie Pens. Neither of these pens seeps through the page and dry quickly.

Markers

Markers that do not bleed through the pages and have multiple uses are nice to have. Try to get markers like Crayola Super Tips or Leisure Art Pens. These pens have a sharp tip and can color easily.

Ruler

A ruler is nice to have if you like straight lines but cannot draw straight lines even with the dotted pages (like me).

Washi Tape

Washi Tape is used to decorate and add some pop to your pages. You can find these at craft sections, craft stores, or on Amazon.

Bullet journaling is fun and can get you organized in the way you want to. You are in full control of what your planner looks like, can add what you want to the pages, and personalize it the way you want. You can be as creative as you want to be and every page can be different. There can be pages on goals, tracking your habits, keep you in check to be healthy, and even ones that can track your moods every day. There are no restrictions.

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.
