As a university student, it is so important to stay on top of all my assignments and plan out my semester. But also! Agendas are a necessity for just about anything I want to do &#8211; hanging out, working, volunteering, et cetera, et cetera! And on top of all o\u2019 that, I am someone who has always wanted to keep up a diary or journal. If you\u2019re like me, lemme tell you, bullet journalling is the way to go! It\u2019s not just a buzz worthy trend that only super bloggers or insta influencers can have, it\u2019s a way of life that combines every aspect of journalling you could want! So, let me tell you MY bullet journalling story, and why it is DEFINITELY for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1. Life Before Bulleting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So. All throughout high school and up until my second year of university, I\u2019ve been using an agenda. However, something just wasn\u2019t quite right. I dreamed of having somewhere I could put all my lists, ideas, notes and anecdotes; somewhere to compile each and every one of my scattered thoughts.Why couldn\u2019t I have the best of both worlds? No journal was there for ALL my needs\u2026that I knew of yet. A friend of mine, a self described organizational freak, was a bullet journalling queen. But what was bullet journalling? This was 2017, and although bulleting had been around for a while, it seemed like a social media trend I couldn\u2019t get behind. And yet, I wanted something more personal, more me! Not just some calendars and weekly spreads, but a place where I could put all my thoughts together. But how?<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2. A New Chapter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finally, one day, I snapped. The fall semester of school was coming to a close, and I was looking for something more than your average agenda. After talking with my bulletin BFF again, I decided &#8211; it was time to take the leap. So for Christmas, what do you think was under that tree? My brand new bullet journal, and an official Bullet Journal trademarked journal at that! I really wanted to see if it was going to be just as my friend had described it; \u201cbulleting can be anything you want it to be! You can do anything!\u201d What exactly did that mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Oh Wait\u2026I Love This?!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, starting to bullet journal was suuuuuuuper overwhelming. You can look up \u201cHow To Start Your Bullet Journal\u201d online and So. Many. Ideas. Come. Up. After sifting through a lot of info I decided to create a \u2018Year in Advance\u2019 calendar, a monthly calendar with a page for monthly tasks and goals, a mood\/habits chart, and a page devoted to writing down what I did every day that month &#8211; in addition to creating a weekly planner. Setting everything up the first time took forever, and I couldn\u2019t help but think, \u201cis this worth it?\u201d But oh my god, is it ever!<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">4. It\u2019s Hecka Worth It<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2026And here\u2019s why! With a bullet journal, you can truly do anything you want. The fact that you can design exactly how you want your agenda to look, and what elements you want to add, was a huge break through for me! You can add in pages just to write on, make lists on, take notes on, whatever! And all in the middle of your regular agenda. Usually, an agenda has a set format, as we all know, but not this one. A bullet journal is seriously there for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What I first thought would take up too much time, is now a relaxing activity I get to do everyday. Filling out my habit\/mood trackers, writing down what I do every day and crossing tasks off my lists the best way to reflect. At the end of each month, I relish in planning out the next month\u2019s few pages of planning. Bullet journalling is a refreshing and exciting routine to add into your life. Craving creativity AND structure? Ya just found it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Are you looking for a new way to change things up? Would you try bulleting?
