Starting Out in Bullet Journaling

Image
Hello, Internet! I’ve recently started out in bullet journaling, and I’m really enjoying it so far. If you don’t know what bullet journaling is, it’s a journal with an organization system that’s completely customizable to you and your preferences. It’s like a mixture of a planner, diary, and a to-do list, and I think this system is a really fun and cool way to keep track of things. They’re good for people who are organized, are into habit tracking and setting goals, and people who like to keep journals and diaries. Obviously, though, these aren’t requirements. There are multitudes of reasons why someone decided to start a bullet journal. For me personally, it was because I wanted to become better organized (and to improve my handwriting, to be honest) Today, I want to help you dip your toes into bullet journaling and teach you some basics if you’re interested. In the world of bullet journaling, there are a lot of terms and fancy language that can be confusing at times, so I

Five Fan Favorites: May Edition

Image
Hello, Internet! I’m coming at you today with a new edition of Five Fan Favorites! If you didn’t know, this is a segment I do in which I ask myself five questions (favorite book of the month, favorite book quote of the month, favorite book cover of the month, and favorite word of the month) so you guys can kind of know what cycles through my mind. So, let’s get into it! Favorite Book: If you read my May Wrap Up, you’ll know that I only read one book this month. Shameful, I know, but good thing it was a really good book! My favorite book of the month was Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. The genre was something I wasn’t used to, but the plot was interesting, the characters were great, and the overall experience was amazing. I mentioned this in my Wrap Up, but I love how the book was exclusively multimedia and not just traditional writing. I think it really added to the story and gave it more meaning. Favorite Book Quote: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us a

A Shameful May Wrap Up

The amount of pure shame that I’m feeling right now is so immense that it will never, ever be comparable to any shame I’ve felt in the past. I’m so ashamed. You really have no idea. Do you want to know why I’m feeling this much shame? Do you really? Because I don’t think you do. I’ll tell you anyway. I only read one book this month. Bye guys, I’ll leave. Okay, do you remember that one time I freaked out about only reading three books in a month? I wish I read three books this month. But I only read one. I started about four, but I only finished one. Uno. Un. Jedan. Ein. And any other language you can say “one” in. And I don’t even think I’m in a reading slump. I don’t have that heavy, dreadful feeling that I usually do. It’s strange. But you know what, let’s just get to talking about the one book that I did finish. The book (singular) that I read this month was Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. Sci-fi. A genre that I don’t

30-Day Book Challenge

Hello, Internet! Today, I’m going to do the 30-Day Book Challenge. This is going to be short, but I found this online and it looks fun so I’m gonna do it. I’m not going to do it over a time span of 30 days because that would take too long and honestly, I’m not really ready for that kind of commitment. So, let’s get to it! (side note: my typing game is off today. It’s more like my fingers are fumbling around the keys instead of forming actual words.) 1: Best book you read last year Easy, A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas. This is the second book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. 2: A book that you’ve read more than three times If I’m being honest, I don’t re-read books. There are a lot of books that are super good, but I just don’t read books multiple times. I don’t know why, I just don’t. 3: Your favorite series At the moment, it’s the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, but I tend to change my favorite series every week or so. 4: Favorite book
