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.

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 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.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
