Excitement for my first proper post!! This is just my typical desk area/set up plan, I usually have my listography up on my laptop or computer – I used the desk computer this time, which was actually so nice to have it all set up there! Things I also love having when doing my work where I can spread out:

My fineliners – usually only really if I’m annotating paper sheets, or – in this case – writing out my biology notes.

My homework folders – the little one is what I bring back and forth for school (and I have a binder per subject that is kept at school), and the larger one is just a collection of all my subjects, so I can keep track of the homework, tests and assessments I have coming up.

My diaries – I have my weekly diary, my monthly calendar and my bullet journal, which I’m trying to get back into. 

A candle – the one I’m using was from Glasshouse, and omg I love it so much, it was limited edition and honestly so good!

bullet journal tips?

Hey bullet journal/studyblr community! I’m trying to get back into my bullet journal, but i want to make it cuter/more visual, but I don’t know how to do that, does anyone have any tips they can recommend me? At this stage i’m planning to have a colour per month sort of thing, but how else do i make my bullet journal more visually pleasing?

Also, if anyone in Australia knows places to get cute stickers/washi tape/things like that, please let me know!

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Firstly, I’d like to thank all the people in the studyblr community for reaching out to me when I was really stressed and down. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything to happen or for anyone to send me messages, so this was beyond my imagination. This community is so supportive and everyone in it truly wants the other to succeed, which is crazy amazing/cool. I am very grateful to be apart of a community made up of such cool and genuine people. 

UPDATE: Life is still busy and I’ve been working on how to cope, which is good. I still have a mountain of things I need to finish, but I believe with time and effort I will manage to finish, if not all, a good chunk of it. On the semi-bright side I managed to score a 90% on my calc exam which I’m not content with (and also can’t fix) but will accept for now. I also started writing down dates to apply for universities and when to take my entrance exams in my planner, so that part of my life feels semi-sorted out… Now I just have to study -_- How are you all doing? Staying unstressed I hope?
