Queer kids are not allowed to be kids.

They aren’t allowed to get angry when people bully them because by reacting people believe they justify the abuse. They are forced to deal with adult situations often without support from any of the actual adults around them. When they look for leaders in their community they often find no one who is like them and are left with only scraps of representation in media to look to. And they don’t have the support system they deserve, the support system heterosexual/romantic cisgender kids are given without question. They are forced to hide parts of themselves from their family members and we pretend that it is normal. And if they decide to discuss that particular part of their identity it is picked apart and examined often before the kid even knows how to process it themselves. Their own identities is branded as “too adult” for them when it is not their identities that is too adult, but how we treat them once we are informed of these parts of their identities.

Queer kids deserve so much better than they are given.

[3/100 days of productivity]

What’s a studyblr? How do you do a flat lay? All good questions that I do not have the answer to. So bear through it while I try to figure it out.

In other news, senior year is happening too fast, regardless of whether I want it to happen or not.

a personal reminder for conquering the school year.

I think all Gilmore Girls fans can agree that Rory Gilmore is the original studyblr! If I’m having a chill study session, I’ll play an old episode where she is extra motivated or there is a big focus on academics. The following are my go-tos!

Masterlist of Bullet Journal Ideas

I was going to post images with each listing, but 100 pictures on one Tumblr post was quite a task. So, if you’d like to see examples of any of these, I am adding them to my Pinterest Board which can be found [here].

1. Books To Read- Color them in as you go! Or make a fun list of them and check them off one at a time.

2. All About Me- Make doodles of things you love, add quotes, draw yourself!

3. Future Log- There are so many ways to make this page. Please do some research to see which would work best for you

4. Movies To Watch- Pretty self-explanatory, but there are many ways to do this page too

5. Skills To Learn- Jot down all the things you want to learn

6. Important Numbers and Addresses- In case of emergency of course. Also, be careful what you put in this part for your own privacy reasons

7. Year In Pixels- Honestly, one of my favorite pages

8. Fonts, Banners, and Frame Ideas- For practice and to choose from when you are having trouble being creative

9. Snail Mail Log- Keeping a list of people who you want to send letters to

10. Savings Tracker- It’s always fun to see how much you have saved up

11. TV Series Tracker- Keep track of all the shows you still need to binge

12. Monthly Challenges- I know I haven’t been helpful with this lately, but you can always search for challenges on my page

13. Music Playlists- A list of songs that describe you, your goals, things you love, etc.

14. Timeline of Your Life- This was hard for me to make. My life isn’t all that exciting

15. Inspiration Page- Fill it with quotes, pictures, memories, etc.

16. Self-Care List/Ideas- I posted many lists like this on my Pinterest if you want more ideas

17. Monthly/Yearly Memories- Look back on all the good and bad things that you’ve gotten over and endured.

18. Sleep Tracker- See how many hours you get each night. This also works well when paired with number 7.

19. Me Time Log- Keep track of how many hours you spend with yourself. We all need to learn to love on ourselves a little more.

20. Tiny Adventures- Go out of your comfort zone and go on some tiny adventures like reading in public, talking to a stranger, giving people compliments, etc.

21. Word Tracker- For those who are writers who like to procrastinate

22. Daily To-Do List- This can be done on your weekly pages or you can make a page specifically for daily sticky notes.

23. Blog Post Ideas- Got an idea, but you’re not at your computer or have what you need for your post? WRITE IT DOWN

24. Fitness Log- Keep track of how much and when you work out or stretch or do yoga or and of those fun physical activities.

25. Food Log- If you’re trying to lose weight or just get healthy or just want to track your food intake for fun, this is for you!

26. Meal Prep- I love how cute and helpful these pages can be.

27. Gift Lists- Ever see something and say to yourself, “Man, ____ would really like that”? Keep a list of things people would like so that you don’t worry about it when it comes to holiday time or birthdays.

28. Grocery Lists- Every time I go shopping, I forget something because I didn’t write it down.

29. Goals- Oh, yes! It’s 2018. We need some goals. Monthly, weekly, daily, YEARLY. Just get some goals and aim for them.

30. Recipes To Try- I see nice recipes all the time on Facebook, but I never think about them again after I keep scrolling. It’s bad.

31. Daily Affirmations- Give yourself some compliments and some emotional support

32. Business Plan- Make yourself a good businesswoman or businessman or businessperson in 2018. You got this.

33. Birthdays- Keep track of all those important people in your life that need to be remembered on their special day.

34. Work Hour Log- Sometimes we don’t keep track of all the things we get paid for. Actual work, babysitting, photography jobs, writing jobs, pet sitting, house sitting, etc.

35. Wishlists- Not so you can #treatyourself, but so that you can make note of things you really want.

36. Gratitude Log- It’s always good to have a moment of gratitude with yourself. Make it a monthly challenge if you need to!

37. Quotes- Your own, friend quotes, celebrity quotes, author quotes, and lyrics.

38. Illustrations and Doodles- Doodling helps you keep your mind fresh and ready to react quickly to situations.

39. Jokes- Your own, ones you heard, ones you read, etc.

40. New Discoveries and Interesting Facts- Find a new interesting fact? How about that lemonade is basically Sprite in almost any other country than America?

41. Travel Log- Places you want to go! There are so many ways to do this, so look up different versions before starting!

42. Family and Friend Favorites- Their favorite colors, animals, stores, places, hobbies, etc.

43. DIY Projects- Things you want to try out someday.

44. Chore List- Keep track of when you do your chores so that your house doesn’t become disgusting or dusty.

45. Bucketlist- What do you want to do before graduation, moving out, marriage, having kids, etc.

46. Story Ideas- I always come up with story ideas and then when I sit down to write them, I blank.

47. Period Log- For people with periods that have many PMS symptoms or even PMDD symptoms. This is a great way to show your doctor all of the things you go through each cycle.

48. Words That Make You Happy- Silly words, ugly words, words that are fun to say, etc.

49. Things That Make You Happy- People, places, and things.

50. Monthly Habits- Water intake, cleaning, bathing, exercising, reading, etc.

51. Story Titles- This can be titles for books, short stories, poems, or just nice sounding titles for anything.

53. Follower Counter- This page keeps me inspired to keep doing what I love.

54. Index- Always have an index for easy access to the pages you want to find.

55. Icons- Sometimes we need to have icons to make our pages pretty. Sometimes we make too many icons and never use them (me).

56. Packing List- For those who travel often or stay at friends’ houses more than our own, it’s good not to forget the things we need.

57. Morning Routines- Our bodies need routines for mornings to get us ready for the day.

58. Nightly Routines- Our bodies need routines for nights to prepare us for sleep. (see what I did there?)

59. Weight Tracker- If you’re struggling with your weight, keep a chart tracker or add your daily weight to your calendar.

60. Pen Test Page- If you get new pens, highlighters, or markers, its best to test them out before using them.

61. Brain Dump- Sometimes we just need to jot down ideas or thoughts. It’s okay if they don’t make sense.

62. Spending Log- Keep track of what you spend because you might need that someday.

63. Water Tracker- HYDRATE

70. Achievements- What have you done that you are proud of?

71. Weekly Log- Keep track of your week. This is one of the most used pages in any bullet journal honestly.

72. Monthly Log- Another overly used page in any bullet journal. Very important.

73. Daily Log- I don’t do this too often, but I know it helps others who really need a whole page for each day.

74. Bill Tracker- This was fun to make and something I will be using now

75. Income Tracker- How much and how frequently do you get paid?

76. Deadline Page- Prepare yourself for things that you need to get done. Do not procrastinate this year!

77. Vocabulary Practice- Sometimes we just need to educate ourselves on our own terms. (and with our own terms. Anyone? Anyone?)

78. Doctor Appointment Log- If you don’t want to add them to your calendar or they are too far out to add to the calendar you’re using.

79. Username and Password List- Be careful with this page. If someone finds your bullet journal, this could be bad.

80. Monthly Cover Page- These are so cute! I just started doing them, but they make my journal so artsy and pretty.

81. Dream Log- This is a fun one. Track your dreams. This would be good to line up with how many hours you get as well.

82. Favorites List- What are YOUR favorites? Movies, snacks, drinks, subjects, people, colors, animals, etc.

83. Habits To Break- Do you bite your nails? Quote The Office too much? Throw clothes into piles on your floor? STOP THAT.

84. Small Things That Matter- Puppies, getting up in the morning, pennies, smiling at yourself, laughter, etc. Remind yourself that there is good in the world.

85. Things To Sell- Get rid of the things you don’t need. Or make things to sell! Be prosperous this year.

86. School Schedule- High school and college students really need this. Even teachers do too. Make a chart of your classes, room numbers, buildings, and times.

87. House Projects- Things that need fixing or improvements around the house.

88. Day Trip Ideas- Fun places to go when you have the time.

89. Things I Am Bad At- It’s okay to admit our shortcomings and work on them. Or just accept them for what they are.

90. Resolutions- YES! Make yourself this better this year. Be the best you.

92. Future Planning- Make a list of the things you want in your future and how you plan on getting them.

93. Quirk List- Ever notice you do small little weird things? Make a list to appreciate who you are.

94. Who Borrowed What- Sometimes people borrow things and you forget until you need it again. By then, they threw it out or gave it to someone else.

95. Six Word Stories- Get those creative juices pumping.

96. Love Yourself- Write down all the things you love about yourself. Appreciate yourself.

97. Paying It Back- Honestly, a good page to have, but it doesn’t get much attention from me.

98. Childhood Dreams- We should always try to look back on what we thought we wanted

99. Good Deed Ideas- Ever think “wow, wouldn’t it be great if I could _____”?

100. Mind Mapping- There are a few reasons I really enjoy this, but it really helps me get my thoughts and ideas out more easily

just-shower-thoughts

When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

zephyrzeitgeist

…dude.

exceli

Small things that can radically change your future:

Drinking enough water everyday

Meditating for 10min everyday/morning/before bed

Smiling to strangers when you make an eye contact in the public

Buying generic products instead of label, organic, etc.. ones

Read everyday from 10min to 1h (or more)

Read about as many different things as possible (e.g. history, quantum physics, ancient civilizations, neuroscience, genetics, film criticism, literature, psychology, philosophy…) - read outside your comfort zone, read what bores you to death, read what you don’t understand

Taking up an online course on edX, Coursera, etc, spending at least 30min on it everyday after work/school

Moisturizing your skin everyday

Choosing stairs over lift or escalator

Going to TED.com and letting yourslef be surprised by a TED talk they’ve chosen for you, based on this quick test

Walking/cycling home instead of driving your car or using public transport

Striking up a conversation with a stranger, who’s wearing a t-shirt of your favourite tv-show/film, or who’s reading your favourite book, or who’s humming to your favourite band’s song…

Getting enough sleep (at least 6h every day)

Everyday taking a few hours off the technology (e.g. not using phones, laptops, internet, social media…)

Taking multi-vitamins everyday

Making regular health check-ups

Buying a cheap instrument at your thrift store (guitar, ukulele, piano, etc) and spending 15min everyday on learning to play it

Making a conversation with a barista at a coffee shop, cashier at a grocery store, or any other retail’s worker, while they’re serving you

Star every morning by writing 3 things you’re grateful for

Finishing every day by writing a journal about what you did, what you didn’t do, why, why not…

Writing down a list of affirmations (e.g. “It’s okay to make mistakes”, “I’ve done the best I can”…) and repeating them everyday and/or in times of distress/anxiety

Taking a different path to and from your work/school (even if it takes longer)

Switching from white/milk chocolate to dark chocolate

Switching from milky flavored coffee drinks (lattes, cappuccinos, etc) to black coffee, coffee with milk, espresso, or tea

Turning your youtube recommendations on and letting it take you wherever it goes, discovering new music, youtubers, diy videos on the way, etc

Asking people to teach you things they know about. For example, asking the barista about the difference between different drinks, asking your librarian for book recommendations or why they like those books, etc… Sometimes, you might end up with some free craft’s lessons

Cutting down on meat and dairy, eating more veggies, fruits, beans, nuts, and legumes instead

Going to library, closing you eyes, walking through the shelves, picking up random book, taking it back home, and reading it

Searching youtube tutorials on the skills you want to learn/get better at(e.g., drawing horses, planting plants, mastering eyeliner, wardrobe organisation…) and watching first 5 videos that come up, while taking notes or practicing at the same time

Drinking a glass of water, when you feel hungry, and waiting at least 20min before eating

Stop using sugar or switching to other sweeteners, e.g. honey, maple syrup…

Deleting all social media apps from your phone, only using social media on your laptop/PC

Making your bed in the morning

Putting you dirty clothes into the laundry bag, once you take them off, not leaving them laying around everywhere in your room

Buying a pack of same black and/or white socks and using them interchangeably, saving yourself tons of time while looking for another pair of socks

Taking yourself somewhere nice every week (new restaurant, museum, gallery, etc…)

god my absolute favorite feeling is devouring a book, when you get so into the pages and the words that you have to stop your eyes from skipping lines and force yourself to read every word, when you’re so impatient for what happens next that you can’t sit still while reading, when you have to re read whole pages because you were too busy predicting and anticipating that you missed the actual events, when you read a part that’s too good for words and you have to close the book and scream into your pillow, that’s what reading a truly great book is about and the feeling is even better when you haven’t found a book like that in a long time and then you stumble across one and something inside of you awakens

please reblog. reblog the way you would reblog a picture of a hot singer, a pretty girl, a tasty meal or some nice stationary. Because this will not make your blog ‘less aesthetic’ or anything. This is important, far more important than anything I’ve mentioned before.
