Bullet Journaling Photos

So throughout this quarantine, my friends and I have been having small bullet journaling FaceTime calls to encourage and motivate each other. I love seeing spreads done by different people as you can see their individualistic styles and it’s inspirational to learn the different ways that my friends like to create things. 

Here are some of the ones that I have done and I’ll keep you updated on any new ones! Stay safe and healthy and please stay inside to help in this battle against COVID-19!

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while and I hope everyone is staying inside and keeping healthy! 

I am hoping that everyone is safe during these trying times. Now that many of us are having to transition to online school, I was hoping to give some tips that have truly helped me with many of the difficulties of this transition.

[ Sidenote: I understand that I am as privileged to be worrying about my education right now rather than financial and the health of my family members. ]

Tips to be Productive Online Quarantine Schooling:

-Never mix work and pleasure: Don’t work on your bed, there is nothing good that will come out of sitting on your bed when you’re supposed to be paying attention to your Calculus lecture, and recently I have been guilty of it. But if you create boundaries in your area, this will help you be more productive during the day. Even if I want to use my phone, I’ll walk over to my bed or scoot my chair over to my bed. 

-Keep the Schedule: Now I’m not saying that you have to keep on waking up at 6 am but what I like to do is wake up around 7:30-8 am and pretend like I’m still going to class. So during the times that I would be in Calculus or Government, I would throw my phone onto my bed and just do the work during those times. Also get ready in the morning, don’t be roaming around in your pj’s, I usually wear jeans or some time of pants and a rowing shirt that I would normally wear to go to school. I don’t use my contacts but I do like to put on some blush and eyeshadow, just as a little kick to get me in a happy mood.

-Move around: I like to stretch my legs whether it’s going downstairs to the pantry or taking the dog on a walk around the neighborhood. You can walk around your house or even just go around your room and walk in circles for 5 minutes to keep your body moving.

Prioritize Your Mental Health: Now with all this time given, I find myself journaling more than I use to. I received a book called 3000 Questions About Me and I am slowly going through it just to be able to find out different things about myself that I normally wouldn’t pay attention to. 

Grind: Take this time to also do some workouts, now we aren’t all millionaires with our professional gyms in the basement or anything like that, but I like to take my yoga mat on my bedroom floor and either following a kpop workout routine or a yoga class. Thankfully, after taking gym for 4 years, I have learned various workouts that I can do at home with no equipment that target what I want to work on.

And lastly, make sure to prioritize your health in general whether it be mental, physical or emotional. Be sure to reach out to some of your friends to check in on them. As an ambivert who tends to lean to extrovertness, this has been a rough transition for me, so thankfully my friends have been FaceTiming me to keep me sane and it is a great reliever from the stress of the times. 

I truly hope everyone is safe and healthy, and please stay inside if you can to stop the spread of COVID-19!

Welcome back, although we have one more day till 2020 comes around. A new year! A new decade! And most importantly a new bullet journal! Today I have my 2020 Academic bullet journal which goes from January to May and starts again from September to December! This will exclude all the summer months just because for me I wanted to keep a purely academic journal, so when the summer months roll around, I will have another journal separate from this. So let's get started!

I'm going to quickly explain what I included in my bullet journal, so to start off I have this cute BTS print (i forget which era from) and just my information in case this were to get lost. Then I just started with a small introduction page to 2020, which I left the page adjacent white because I love black and white themes.

To continue I have another picture of my favorite member of BTS, and a quote that I want to take to heart in 2020. 2020 will be a big year of self-reflection and really self-improvement for myself. So I wanted to have that quote opening up the year, something I see to be reminded throughout the year.

My Weekly Happiness is something that I did try to implement in 2019 and I, unfortunately, did not continue it all 52 weeks. But this is just a self-reflection and gratitude journal, where I write one positive thing or attach something that I was proud of during that week.

Now we get into my January Monthly Set Up, where I just plainly wrote Jan in calligraphy and I was trying to incorporate a kpop journal into this as well so I have a cute little page on my favorite group, Stray Kids. If you know them, you can tell that I really prefer the rap line as my bias is Changbin. 

Then we have my monthly calendar, surprised? It's just a way for me to look at everything in a holistic view and afterward, I have my mood calendar, which is a small mini calendar where you mark the mood. On the next page, I have my 6 habit trackers 3 for academic and 3 personal; so my three academic habits that I would like to track are Korean, AP Stats Review, and AP Calc Review.

Afterward, I have my favorite songs from my January playlist, and so I decided to link my January playlist. Next is my brain dump which I just put anything I would like to remember for late in the month.

Then my weekly spread which is a simple more classy than my normal ones from last year, so this is the end of my 2020 January Bullet Journal Set Up! Thank you for making 2019 such a wonderful year, and I hope 2020 will be an amazing year for everyone!

As 2019 comes to an end, I just like seeing what the year was like although this year was a whirlwind. It has been quite interesting to see how my style has changed over one year, so here is a quick flip through of my bullet journal! I didn’t talk because I just like to reflect! I hope to get better and perhaps film my bullet journal set up for 2020, which I actually have started. (lowkey almost finished but I’m making another separate journal too)

December Bullet Journal Set Up

Welcome back to my last bullet journal set up for 2019 year! This year has been a wild one, I have made so many memories and I wish that I could re-live so many! I wanted to thank everyone who likes and reblogs my posts because it means a lot to me, and that honestly I get my motivation from you all! And without further ado, here is my very last bullet journal for the month of December of the year 2019!

December is the month of family love and being in just a happy spirit, So I started off with a picture of one of the happiest member's of my favourite group, Stray Kid's dandy boi Suengmin! Starting off the month with a joyful face, and to the right is my brain dump because December is a planning month of the next year, Secret Santa, college decisions (I got into one of my uni's actually before Thanksgiving!), and just planning of my academic year too.

Then our monthly calendar, which is always going to be there so I can see a more holistic tracking and planning of each month and due dates or important events that are expected for the month. I have a countdown for Virginia Tech as well as Penn State University on there. As well as my favourite break of the entire school year, WINTER BREAK!

Then I have the middle two weeks of December 9-20th charted just because I could only do those two weeks as they're the busiest and I am in dire need of more room in my bullet journal. I don't have enough room in my 2020 one either, so for the summer I may create a mini bullet journal since I primarily use it for school purposes.

Then on the very last page, I made a year's flashback because in the beginning of the year, I wrote a positive event or things that occurred so that at the end of 2019, I would have something very sweet to look at however, when I did crew I fell behind on it. Although, I decided to include some just to remember that the sun is out there even if you're living in rain. This will be available to be seen in my 2019 bullet journal flip through!

Thank you to everyone who read till this point, it's been a pleasure sharing my bullet journal for the year of 2019, and I truly hope that you enjoyed it! You can see that my setup was quite minimal and next year's will truly be up to standard so I truly hope that you have enjoyed this last bullet journal set up for the year of 2019. Thank you so much and I hope to show you more of my set ups for many more years to come!

✨November Study Challenge ✨

day 11- what subject is your favorite to study in your course? tell us a fun fact you learned in it!

So I’m self teaching myself korean, and korean is a very literal language. Like the word tear (눈물) means eye (눈) water (물)! This is very easy in order to memorize vocabulary!

day 12-what do you wish people knew about your course of study? what are some misconceptions?

Perhaps people assume I’m going to give bad advice or that it’s so general that it’s used by every YouTuber ever but every tip I give has helped me at some point of time. And even if I take forever to come up and drill the concept into my head, it’s completely imaginative and is easy to think of.

I actually had a four day weekend (1-5) and then for Thanksgiving as my county operates on “Christian Holidays” we get the 27-1 off. And I believe my family will be going to the beach during Thanksgiving break so I’m pretty excited!

Starbucks has its pumpkin spice, I prefer apple cider anything although I do enjoy pumpkin spice covered pretzels 😋 those sure are yummy! I also really like apple pie covered with cinnamon and a scope of vanilla ice cream on the side!

day 07- what are your critiques about studyblr’s focus on high-end materials? do you think there’s a difference in low vs high end?

I know that not everyone can afford high end materials, and frankly I didn’t get anything until I got my summer internship and could spend some money here and there. So as a studyblr focus on having good notes that are effective and efficient as materials can only take you so far without actual intellect.

Personally, I don’t spend lots of money on high end things because I would rather have money in the future for rainy days especially since I’ll be going into college, so treat yourself once in a while but don’t feel that you have to have high end products.

Although they might look fancy, most of the time there’s a cheaper substitute without the brand name. (hehe look at me using economics in real life)

day 05- do you listen to music when you study? what kinds? share with us a short (or long!) playlist.

If it’s something mindless or something that I can do easily without much thought I like to play instrumental music (I’ll search up on YouTube sad kpop piano playlist and listen). I also like to listen to lofi, classical music, as well as study motivation on days I’m not feeling too good on.

For books I love young adult, romance, and horror. This is probably the weirdest collection yet I love being scared over paper because it’s truly a gift. I read Where The Crawdad’s Sing by Delia Owens which is a beautiful coming of age story as well as a murder mystery that I truly enjoyed. In fact my pediatrician is reading it because I told her to!
