I'm rebranding lol but I wanna keep a little memento of the something 17-yr-old me started but didn't fully commit. I'm 19 now and currently a 2nd year college student taking up a BSN program--something jhs me probably couldn't imagine lol. I don't make fancy notes as I did before anymore and I'm still the greatest procrastinator ever but I think I'm doing my best?

To the past me, nursing school is fun. Stressful at times but you've met some really nice (questionable, honestly) people. You've always thought nursing school was so hard but hey, you survived so far! Zero failed subjects, although grades were average. We're not that competitive anymore, so average is average. I may be lazy but I don't want bad grades *winks* *winks*

To future me, I hope you're doing well :)

[4:19 pm] I spent most of the day sitting and writing notes and now my back and fingers hurts a bit. I'm probably gonna take a few hours break then continue writing again in the evening. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

Back after a while! My handwriting still ugly as ever but as long as I can read it, it's fine! It's my notes anyways, not other people's.

Do you listen to music when you're studying or writing your notes?

I usually don't since it distracts me, I like the silence more. Though there are times where I feel like listening and I listen to classical piano musics with no vocal singing or japanese lofi musics [that i don't know the lyrics to] to set up the mood. I avoid listening to musics with vocals especially ones in a language I know because it can easily distract me.

Filmed myself writing notes. I didn't have time lapse on my phone so I had to edit it out on a video editor. It was so fulfilling to see how I fill up a whole page and then flipping it or getting a new one and then filling it up as well. Its kinda fun so I might do this again, though my storage is at risk.

how i make my B5 papers from A4 papers

I have a ream of 80gsm A4 papers. Instead of buying B5 papers, I just use it to make me some B5 papers.

I would start by removing the cover of my (diy) B5 notebook binder and clip it to my A4 papers. Then trace the sides using my 0.38mm black ink pen. Its advisable to use a ruler but I have trust issues with myself. There is a high possibility that if I use a ruler the lines would not turn out straight.

After tracing the lines, I would just remove the cover so only the paper remains. I'd then cut it with a paper cutter, making sure the black lines would be cut out too.

Black ink lines successfully cut along with the extra papers.

After that I just print my own printables and punch it with my 6-hole binder puncher and store it in my envelope.

I keep the extra papers inside the paper cutter because I use a lot of scratch papers for when i make mistakes that is hard to cover with correction tapes or when I'm swatching my pens, markers, or highlighters.

It'd be such a waste to throw them when there are lots of things you can do with it.

how i make my own ruled binder papers (A4 and B5)

I use two sizes of paper, A4 and B5. Both are 80gsm. I don't own any B5 papers so I make one out of my 80gsm A4 paper.

Of course since we're making ruled papers we need to make the lines. I do that manually on Word. I already made A4 and B5 versions of it. The size of the margin is 0.5 inches. The lines are colored gray and its not actually lines but just a series of small dots.

Left side: A4 size (36 line, excluding the top and bottom lines)

Right side: B5 size (30 lines, excluding the top and bottom lines)

After printing it, I punch it with my 6-hole binder puncher and I'm done!

I made my ruled printables with the thought of using the whole page so it is designed with the intention that I can write from the very top to the very bottom.

If you would like to print your own printables I would suggest visiting @emmastudies she has really pretty and organised printables. I've actually printed some of them and planning to use more, hers is more organised and prettier than mine.

I'll make a separate blog on how I make my own B5 papers out of A4 papers.

I haven't posted in a while but yeeeyyy the notebook binder rings I ordered finally arrived (binder rings and notebook covers arrived separately since they were bought in two different shops). They are so pretty😍 I am inlove. I purposely choose all-white so it will look uniform and I just love white.
