I love looking at beautiful bullet journals--don't get me wrong. But the one thing I hate about beautiful bullet journal spreads is that, at least for me, they almost NEVER look like that. This was my planner during finals week, when I graduated from University. I had 4 jobs and was taking 18 credits and LEMME TELL YA, it is hard to keep your planner looking beautiful when you barely have time to eat! In a way, however, the giant mess of colors has its own beauty. I think it's important to remember that your journal doesn't have to look like anyone else's, and it's ESPECIALLY important to remember that it's okay to let it get messy!
