Here are your results!

If you got mostly A's...

Your current method of staying on top of your life seems to be working great for you! You don't need a bullet journal to keep track of your events and to-do lists. If you're interested in keeping a bullet journal though, you should use it as a habit tracker or a journal to record your thoughts.

If you got mostly B's...

You should consider starting a bullet journal! Having a consistent place to put all your ideas, to-do lists, and doodles will help you become more productive. Start by using a modest notebook and several colored pens and work your way to a wider range of supplies once you become a consistent bullet journal-er!

If you got mostly C's...

What are you waiting for? A bullet journal is the perfect tool to help you get on top of your life. It'll help you organize all your events, to-dos, as well as your sketches and thoughts! Start by getting a journal (even a composition book works) and a reliable pen to journal away!

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
