Hi!! Just Wanted To Say Hi Bc Your URL Is Cool (i Read East Of Eden Recently) :)

hellllloooooo fellow studyblrs / journalers!!

i’m more than a little late, but better late than never- here is the requested set up for my bullet journal! :)

NOTEBOOK / PENS NOTEBOOK: Moleskine Classic Notebook: (Large, Plain, Black, Hard Cover) (my pages are a little messed up bc i spilled water in my backpack and it soaked into my journal :( ) other notebook recommendations: Baron Fig Confidant Dot-grid (i use this as my other journal) COLORED PENS: Staedler Triplus Fineliners BRUSH PENS (not pictured): Tombow Dual Brush Pens BLACK PENS: Delistar Black 0.5 Gel Pen

MONTHLY SPREAD LEFT HAND PAGE: important reminders for the month, or notetaking / ideas for a project that i’ll be working on for the whole month (ex. january: new years resolutions, november: united night praise set planning) RIGHT HAND PAGE: calendar, gridded out w/ pencil first and then written in w/ pen, then i number the days down vertically, where i put major events / plans in by date, marked in color according to the legend. right hand column contains monthly to-dos / reminders monthly spread page is indicated by a purple sticky that hangs out

WEEKLY SPREAD DAILY SET UP: month/day, day of the week, water consumption (8 grey circles), thought of the day (i like to look back on them), and daily tasks WEEKLY GOALS/TO DO: things that have to be done in the general week, as opposed to any specific day, will usually move to a day once i figure out planning for the week

LABELLING I use skinny colored Post-it stickies to help tab off important pages / pages of the same topic, but washi tape works just as well

READING LIST a list of books to read in the upcoming year, once i finish, and new one is started. this one is in the front of my journal (haven’t been making a very big dent in it b/c too much reading for lit / school but i’m trying!! :P)

hope this was helpful, good luck w/ journaling & hope you all have a blssed year of productivity, organization, and learning!

This scene will forever be the most important scene in any movie to me.  This is a little girl who has been told all her life by her parents that she is a mistake and that she is worthless.  This is a little girl whose family life is so horrible that books are her only escape.  This is a little girl whose parents constantly belittle her for reading, the only pleasure in life she has.  And in this scene, this little girl answers very shyly, because she has been conditioned to be embarrassed of her own existence.  At first, she answers slowly, and without making eye contact. And in this scene this little girl is beginning to realize that maybe she is special.  Maybe there are kind people in the world.  Maybe she is worth something.

here are my 11 questions to you all. of course, only answer a question if you’re comfortable doing so :)

1. what is your favorite study snack or drink?

2. what is your favorite way to treat yourself after doing something you’re proud of?

3. do you have siblings?

4. what is your least favorite subject in school and why?

5. do you have a mentor or someone you look up to in terms of success in life?

6. if you’re in high school, what college would you like to go to? if you’re in college where do you go?

7. what is your dream vacation and who would you go with?

8. in your opinion, what is your greatest accomplishment of 2015?

9. what is your favorite school supply?

10. do you watch any tv shows? if so, which one is your favorite?

11. if you listen to music while studying, what do you typically listen to?

okay! here are my answers!!

1. what year are you?

I am a junior in high school, so 11th grade.

2. what has been your favorite song lately?

oh boy. well I was recently obsessed with The Feeling by Justin Bieber and Halsey. it makes me feel mystical lol. I’m not exactly obsessed with any songs at the moment

3. what is your favorite app for study oriented things or organization

I don’t really use any apps for studying. if anything, I used quizlet or google classroom to access materials from my teachers because that is what my school is affiliated with. I do recommend a flash card app called memrise! it’s different from quizlet and I really like it

4. do you blog anywhere else?

yes I do. I have a more fandom related blog @fandomgirling. but I don’t post my own things on that, just reblog stuff

5. do you collect anything random or strange?

no I do not. but I do hoard pens :)

6. what is your favorite pass-time?

mmm probably watching tv or laying in bed haha I’m super lazy. in the summer I like to read books, particularly angsty young adult romances

7. what was the most interesting book you read in 2015?

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. great book that hides nothing about racially prejudice that used to be incredible prominent in the United States and what Angelou faced growing up. it’s a relatively short read and definitely worth it.

8. what is the most interesting place you’ve been to?

I would say India. my family is from there so I’ve been there about seven times and it’s just so different from the US but I like it there. my favorite place I’ve been to on the other hand is New York City

9. if you were to only give one piece of advice to a friend struggling with stress, what would it be?

go to your happy place for a little bit. I find that if I take my mind off things that I’m stressed about for a little bit, I find a better way to approach the problem when I face it again. also by going to my happy place, I remember that life will get better and all I have to do is keep that in mind and work for it. you can do it!!

10. where do you usually by school supplies from?

staples!

11. who is your favorite character and why?

this is such a hard question omg! I’m not going to be able to pick one (sorry :/) so it’s a three-way tie between Oliver Queen (Arrow), Will Herondale (The Infernal Devices), and Percy Jackson (Percy Jackson and the Olympians). I love these characters because they all have rough back stories and/or are going through incredibly difficult situations we could only think about dealing with, and while they deal with their broken selves, they still love and care for others with everything they have. Oliver is selfless as heck and is willing to die/sell his humanity to save and protect his friends and family, Will gives up the woman he loves so deeply so his dying friend can love her instead, and Percy’s fatal flaw is his loyalty to friends and family. *swoon* anyways that was a little long but I love them all.

thanks again for tagging my and I hope you enjoy answering my questions!!
