kanken alternatives
so, everyone in the studyblr community seems to have kankens, which is nice. but they’re REALLY expensive!! here’s some cute backpacks (all under $30!) I found that are super cute and won’t kill your wallet! all of these backpacks have a large outside pocket like the kanken does, because I have a soft spot for the style.
Everest Vintage Backpack - ranging from $11.19 to $22.81, this comes in white, black, aqua blue, rustic orange, eggplant purple, and burgundy. it looks REALLY CUTE and has really good reviews!
Kitty Backpack - this is just $17.99 and has a cute cat little face on it. it has ears (!!!) and the zippers look like kitty paws. it comes in eight different colors as well!
Intense Galaxy Backpack - from $17.99 to $18.99 depending on the color you want, this has colorful galaxy patterns on it to bring attention to how CUTE you are! it comes in five different color combinations and they all look awesome!
Patterned Canvas Backpack - this is a 15″ backpack and it comes in eleven different patterns, all of which I believe are $21.99. there’s flowers, cats, etc etc etc!!
Patterned Canvas Backpack (another one!) - this comes in two different sizes and a TON of different patterns! there’s so many different ones (some come with a lunch bag as well-- those are more expensive, which sucks because the lunch bags don’t look very nice). these backpacks have got GREAT reviews and seem to be around $26.99 to $28.99!
Canvas Print Backpack - this looks super cute! the prices range from $12.99 to $14.99, and there’s six different patterns that it can be made of. the reviews look really good!
Mint Daypack - this has decent reviews and is definitely the backpack I’d recommend to anyone trying to have a mint aesthetic with their bullet journal and supplies! it’s $24.99, got chevron print, and it can hold a 15″ laptop.
Waterproof Solid Backpack - this comes in six different solid colors, and has great reviews. it’s $27.99 and seems like it would be really durable and great for hauling stuff around everywhere, especially if you’re going out in nature at all (no need to fear putting it down and getting your stuff wet!)
EcoCity Solid Backpack - available in five different solid colors and one galaxy pattern, this looks really cool! it’s $25.99 and has a HUGE amount of reviews, the majority of which are positive! another plus is that it uses a lot of recycled denim, so you’re helping the environment by buying it!
Light Blue Jansport Backpack - a light blue backpack with a pocket accented by lace, this backpack’s colors work together really nicely and it’s only $15.20. make sure you’re looking at the LIGHT blue one, though, as the dark blue one is about $30 dollars more (yikes!)
Classic Jansport Backpack - some of these patterns/solids are REALLY cute, but be sure to check the price! some of the choices are super overpriced. my favorite, which I think this links directly to, is called “multi painted ditzy” and features a light blue background with orange and red flowers with green leaves on it for only $26.71
I hope this is helpful! I know I, for one, don’t have a super huge budget to spend on craft supplies, and I don’t want to spend all of my birthday and holiday money on a backpack just because it’s a brand name. ♥
small ways to improve your bullet journal:
bring a ruler everywhere you bring it
maybe dedicate a page or two towards working on improving your handwriting. look up pangrams (definition: a sentence that includes every letter of the alphabet at least once) and practice writing them slow and steady. look at handwriting you like online and make a conscious effort to slowly change your handwriting over time.
add in a little color, if that’s your thing! I personally like using washi tape, stickers, and highlighters.
keep it consistent-- it’s hard to look back on lists to see if any of it applies to today when your colors and symbols keep changing. make sure you have a key in your bullet journal so that you know what symbols to use for different types of things.
find out what works for you! I personally print out a calendar every month because I feel like drawing my own out, even with a ruler, isn’t neat enough. maybe you draw yours out, or maybe you don’t find a monthly calendar useful. find what fits your schedule best!
try out different weekly spreads to see which kinds work better for you. you can see a lot of different weekly spreads in the bullet journal tag here on tumblr!
keep track of your habits. maybe this isn’t for you, but I personally use my bullet journal to help keep track of whether I’ve taken my meds, if I’ve had enough water to drink, if I’ve gotten at least 10 minutes of sunlight, and how many hours I’ve slept. I find that this keeps me accountable and I’ve been healthier since I’ve started!
lastly, use it! sure, you might mess up or want to rip pages out, (I know I sure did!) but in the end, a bullet journal that has things in it that help you is a TON more useful than an empty notebook sitting around with good intentions!
