My Bullet Journal!
An In-Depth GuideIt has been HIGHLY requested for me to do a full, in-depth guide or post about my bullet journal.. so here it is! I’m new to my bullet journal as well, so I’m sure as I go I’ll learn more and more about it and figure out little things that work for me, but for right now, here’s what I do!
As I said before, my “style” for this bullet journal was inspired by another studyblr: staticsandstationary. The top banners and such are all from her styled bullet journal. They looked fairly simple and I thought that they would work perfectly for me as well!
I will list all of the materials that I use at the end of this post, and if you have questions as to where the stickers are from, just send me a message and I will try and link you right to it!I’m going to go through it with you section-by-section, so I hope this is helpful!
I plan on doing a video on this next week as well, if that’s something you guys are interested in.Photo 1: Legend and Index
When you first open my bullet journal, this is what you see! On the left is my legend. This includes all of the different types of bullets I have and what they mean, and then a few color variations for personal things and work things. When it comes to school work, I use different colors for different subjects, but I plan on creating separate legends on a page at the beginning of each semester.
On the right side is the beginning of my index. This is something I keep going throughout the use of my bullet journal. Every time I enter into a new month, I put the page numbers for the end of the previous month and the beginning of the new month. It seems silly, but the further you get into your journal, the much more convenient it will be to have in order to find certain pages.
Photo 2: April Monthly View and Expenses
On the left is April’s monthly view. I go down the line and put the numbers for the date as well as the first letter of the day of the week. It helps me keep track of things at a glance. This month only has beginning at the 15th, because that’s when I started my bullet journal. I used different colors for different courses (this was around finals time). I didn’t include those in my legend because they were the same colors I’d been coordinating with all semester, so I knew them by heart and didn’t feel the need to include them. Pink still accounts for my personal tasks and events and orange is work-related things.
On the right begins the expenses. This is for the month of April only. I sort all of my expenses per month because I find that it makes it much easier to flip to your most recent expenses. I don’t have a key for the colors in this either.. but oh well. For these, I have three different colors: green, blue, and orange. Green means that it was a reasonable and unavoidable expense (groceries, gasoline, etc.). Blue means that it was a fairly reasonable expense but not 100% necessary. It’s my in-betweeny. Orange means that it could have been avoided (fast food, impulse buys, etc.). I created a chart where I put the item on the left and the price on the right.
Photo 3: May Monthly View and Expenses
Here is May’s monthly view and expense page. Yes, I skipped past some pages for April’s daily calendar. I will show you those for May.
Photo 4: May Monthly Spread
Here is the first weekly spread for the month of May. I create these to-do lists as I go, usually the night before. As you can see on Friday, when I go shopping, I include the shopping list of the things that I purchased on a post-it note and I leave it on that particular day. This way, I can keep track of when I bought certain items.
This is also when I started incorporating my stickers (:
Photo 5: May Monthly Spread
Here is another weekly spread.
Photo 6: May Monthly Spread and June Monthly View
Here begins the monthly view for June. Yes, I planned ahead for you guys to kind of give a better example. This monthly spread obviously doesn’t have a lot going on yet. As I go through the month, I’ll add things to the monthly view. I don’t keep everything in the monthly view, obviously. Just large events or things tI need to remember at a broader glance.
Again, if you have any questions as to where any of the stickers are from, don’t hesitate to message me!
Photo 7: June Expenses and June Weekly Spread
This is my most recent page. Obviously, June 1st is about a week off. I planned ahead here so I could show you what I have been doing. I got a few questions about planning ahead. What if you have tasks you know that you need to get done on a future date? What do you do to remember them? I actually haven’t mastered this yet. I still use my Lily Pulitzer agenda for that. I keep all of my to-do lists for future dates in there, and then when it’s time to fill out my bullet journal, I refer to it and go from there. for now, I’ve been planning on things that I need to do when I get back from Florida. Those things are in pencil on the bottom right (if you can see it!). I wanted to include that as a little tip. You can always use pencil or post-its and erase and remove them later!
I hope this was helpful for all of you guys!
Here’s a list of the supplies that I use:
- Moleskine Large Squared Hardcover Journal
- BIC Cristal Pens (Bold for Colors)
- Stickers - Ask me!

Super nice things to do for someone who has depression
- Chances are their room is a disaster and they have -846 motivation to do anything about it. Helping them tidy up will make them feel a little less overwhelmed.
- Do their laundry. Even small chores seem to pile up when a person is depressed and not having clean clothes won’t make them feel any better. Washing their bedding is also great.
- Try to convince them to go for a short walk with you. There is a good chance they will feel a lot better after.
- If you can’t get them outside, at least open a window for fresh air and let some sunshine in.
- Prepare them a healthy meal with some fresh fruit. Many depressed people fall into bad eating patterns.
- If they aren’t eating enough, make sure they are taking a multi vitamin since not getting enough of a vitamin causes depression
- Make them a warm, nice smelling bath. Aromatherapy is a great way to treat depression and anxiety.
- Write them a letter or card to read for when they’re feeling really bad.
- Make them a recovery playlist with some of their favourite songs and anything up lifting.
- Make them laugh.
- Make them a cup of tea and sit with them.
- Listen to them and try to understand what they’re feeling.
I’m dating someone who does this stuff and more for me. For the first time ever. It’s really a blessing and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all of the little things, because at the end of the day they are actually the big things. Take care of your lovers.

The *real* “I just got my first apartment” post
That other post seems to be for people with money. But you don’t have money. So what do you actually need for your first apartment?
- A bed. Not an air mattress. Not a blanket fort. Not a mattress pad with a fitted sheet over it. An actual bed. You’re going to try to avoid it, especially if you live in a city where bed bugs mean not buying a mattress from Craigslist. Beds cost money (unless you can take the one from your childhood bedroom, in which case, do that and use the couch when you visit home). But fuck it, you need one. If you’re desperate, you might go with a futon, but the futon you can afford will break with the quickness. You might also go with a mattress on the floor, which seems like a good idea until it suddenly seems really dirty, which is because mattresses need air flow to stay dry and sanitary. If you don’t have a box spring and don’t want to drop the $40 on a cheap bed frame, you can use these guys to build a platform, and if you find plastic drawers the same height, you can even build some storage in there.
- A dresser. You will try to find a way around this. It will end up with your floor covered in clothes within a week. Just find a dresser on Craigslist or go to your local auction (a great place to find cheap furniture in general). And don’t buy a cheap dresser to build yourself from K-Mart or Wal-Mart, because it will break and it will likely be more expensive than a Craigslist/auction dresser anyway.
- A TV. It doesn’t have to be new or huge or advanced. But you want a TV. Don’t try to skip the TV for something more trivial. You’ll regret that quick.
- A couch. Specifically, an old, comfortable couch. One you don’t mind falling asleep on or letting guests sleep on. Don’t spend a lot of money. Couches will find you. Don’t overthink it. It’s your first apartment. Nobody expects you to have a perfectly curated adult home. Just get a comfy fucking couch. And if you get two, you can use cinder blocks to make stadium seating in your living room!
- A table. You will ruin it, so get a shitty one. Learn your lessons on something cheap and disposable.
- A full(ish) kitchen set. If these things don’t appear from your parents or your roommates’ parents, you need to buy a pot and pan set, silverware, a silverware organizer, at least one sharp knife (and let’s be honest, you’re gonna want a knife block and they’re only like $11), at least one mixing bowl, a colander, a cutting board, a couple of storage containers, plates, bowls, glasses, and mugs. You’ll figure out what else you need as you need it, based on your own kitchen habits. A lot of this can be picked up at the dollar store if you have one near you. And if you don’t bake often, disposable baking pans are your friend.
- Hand soap, dish soap, wash-your-ass soap. Nobody likes poor hygiene. You also need toothpaste and floss. And deodorant.
- Flashlight and candles (nothing fancy). In case something goes wrong.
- A plunger. In case something goes really wrong.
- A toilet brush. Your momma probably never let the toilet form rings (or let you let that happen), so it might come as a shock how quickly and easily those shits form.
- A shower curtain and liner. Or even just the liner. Don’t get the floor wet.
- Sponges. You have no idea how many sponges you’ll need.
The rest, you’ll stack over time, but these are the things you need.
Thrift shops and charity shops may have silverware and pots and pans for cheap, as well as furniture, sheets, etc.
When buying used furniture: look in the cracks and under the edges for pin-sized brown/black spots. Bedbugs are tiny and they live in upholstery and any wood with enough crevices to allow it. You almost certainly won’t be able to see the bugs themselves, but they leave little spotted trails along seams and in places that don’t see a lot of light. You cannot get them out of furniture; it’s not worth the extreme measures it takes to do it.
Also, don’t forget laundry detergent and a rubbish bin and bin liners. Rubbish, laundry, and dirty dishes are 90% of the mess in a messy home and 99% of bad smells. Keep up with them and your home will always be at least clean-ish.
Oh, and bleach is a good cheap substitute if you can’t afford specific cleaners for your toilet, tub, vinyl counters/floor, etc., but test it on a small spot to make sure what you’re cleaning can handle it, dilute the fuck out of it, and never use it on wood or mixed with dish liquid. Use white vinegar or diluted Pine-sol for mirrors, glass, and sealed wood floors.

If anyone’s trying to learn a language I’ve recently discovered this company called the Language Pod Company and it is so much better than Rosetta Stone and it’s completely free (unless you’d like one-one-one teacher-student help then it’s like $25 a month which tbh you shouldn’t really need because they make it really clear in the lessons). It’s super easy to navigate and it even gives you a history of the language. There are audio and video lessons. Real-life situations and different speakers. They even write the letters for you because I know sometime it’s hard to learn to write in a language that doesn’t use the same alphabet that you’re used to. You’re welcome.
