Summer Blog Post #1

At the start of this summer I took some time to relax and just leave my school work aside for a moment. I spend the majority of time back in Holland, and as soon as I reached my house I met up with a friend who introduced me to the concept of Bullet Journaling. I had only briefly heard of this concept, mainly because I had seen the term ''bullet journal'' pop up on the internet a few times. But at first I didn't quite know what she was talking about, especially since I had never heard or seen anything like this in the UAE. Now, Bullet Journaling isn't for everyone. It is easy and fun to do, but incredibly difficult to explain. By definition, a bullet journal is a method of journaling and note-taking that uses bullet points as the core structure. It is simply a way to organise anything you wish to be organised. It is good for people who enjoy creating and using to-do lists, people who (want to) love planners, people who like nice pens or any other stationery stuff and people who would like to keep a diary but find it hard to stick with the habit. A bullet journal is a mix of a planner, a to-do list and a diary. The fun part of Bullet Journaling is that you can make it completely your own; you can create your own decorative drawings, texts and planners. Of course I purchased my own Bullet Journal even though I'm not such a creative and organised person. Up to now I have only used it to make packing lists and to draw vacation doodles. I would say it's a great way to relax, as it definitely helped me lower my stress.
