In case you missed how I prepped or why I'm doing this - check out my first week and my prep week here:

A Month Of Bullet Journaling: Week One

Anyways.

This week I wanted to upgrade my weekly layout because I wasn't feeling the one I used for the first week and come up with a page to help me keep myself in track of how to contact professors.

LIKES

- Again, I got to make everything myself. I think that's the thing I'm enjoying most about this adventure that I'm embarking on. I get to take the design skills that I'm working so hard for in college and applying them to my everyday life.

- This layout was 100,000,000 times more athletically pleasing. I could see it in the eyes of everyone I showed it to, it was definitely appealing.

- I went back to my Foods I Want To Make page and actually tried two of the recipes from my Pinterest boards! This is like a life goal of every person who aspires to be a real Pinterest-er.

- I used the professor contact page - twice - when I needed to email professors. It was nice to just have everything in one spot and I didn't have to get on D2L, navigate to the syllabus, find the contact info, yada, yada, yada.

DISLIKES

- Although there was the a to-do's place, I felt like I didn't actually have an reason to come back to this page... which is the point of keeping a planner.

R.I.P. to this beautiful design.

Week Three

This coming week, I wanted to focus on the ability to add things and increase how often I looked at the week - because I wasn't really doing that before. Also, I had a friend ask how I was keeping track of my tasks and I realized I wasn't.

After a lot, and I mean a lot of Pinterest searching and looking for things that will make me use my planner more, I found this pin and started. I wanted to replicate the layout, but make it more for myself.

My "Week @ A Glance" gives me a quick look for times I need to be places. Right next to that I have my weekly to-dos. Things I need to get done for the week, but don't have a due date, necessarily. On the opposite page is a daily spot with things I need to do on that day.

Another thing many people do that I liked a lot was some type of quote on the pages. On the left hand page - a quote to keep my spirits lifted. On the right hand page is a quote I'm considering for a tattoo and I want it to to be something I see regularly right now.

Stay tuned for next week and where my bullet adventures take me next!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
