Hey, lovely citizens of tumblr!! It’s 12 am here and I’m still pumped because I drank me some salted caramel coffee (no regrets). I thought it would be super cool to make a masterlist of bullet journal prompts when you wanna spice up your journal, ya know?

So, yeah. I put them in sections so you guys don’t need to be confused about anything +++ I’m a little too obsessed with organizing lists and actually organizing EVERYTHING.

Basic & Essential Pages

Index (a total must have)

Legend or Key

Month At-A-Glance

Year At-A-Glance

Week At-A-Glance

Monthly Full Page Calendars

Goals this year (short & long term)

Resolutions

Important dates

Your personal daily layout (for to-dos and daily reminders)

Month’s title pages

School and Studies

School/Class Schedule

Classes taking with details (Teacher/Professor’s name, room number, subject, # of credits, dates & times you meet)

Grade Tracker (especially great for college students. Just track all your grades for every semester so you don’t have to keep requesting an unofficial transcript)

Reward Page (write down all your rewards for yourself if you get an A, take a test, or even finish your homework. Grab that smoothie girl!!)

Study Motivation page!! (put inspirational & motivational quotes to get you pumped up to rule the world.)

Classes-You-Still-Need-To-Take Checklist (a checklist of the classes you’ve taken and still need to take in order to finish your degree!!

School supplies Checklist (not for the supplies you’re missing but literally a list of supplies you should have and already do have. Think of it like a reference or inventory guide of sorts.)

Assignment Page (write down all your assignments for the month/semester if you’re feeling it. It never hurts to be prepared!!)

Study Websites to remember!!! (and youtube channels)

Books

Checked out library books with due dates

Books I’ve read this year

Upcoming Book Releases

Book-et List (list of ALL the books you want to read)

Books to buy

Reading Challenges

Book quotes page (Don’t forget to label the book so you know where it cam from!!)

Quick Book Review Pages (divide your page into sections- i prefer 3 sections with my graphed Moleskine- and add ratings, reviews, and your thoughts!!!!)

Books I’ve Read in my entire existence

Music

Songs I Want to Listen to

Songs I Need to Download

Completed Playlist/Mixtape Pages

Discovered Songs (i personally like to divide these up by genre)

Songs I Like/Love (also like to do this by genre)

Playlist Ideas (just write down emotions you wanna feel, titles you like, purpose of the playlist, etc.)

Cleaning

Cleaning Calendar or Schedule

Cleaning To-Dos (I like to divide these up from Sunday-Friday and make this page a reference point)

Cleaning Days (Garbage Day, Mopping Day, Laundry Day, Clean the Bathroom Day)

Essential Cleaning Stuff (Laundry soap, bleach, Swiffer wipes, etc. Use it as a reference point to check what you’re missing currently!)

Health & Fitness

Monthly Fitness and Health Goal

Daily Workout Routines

Workout Pages (put for arms, legs, abs, full body, yoga, etc.)

Water Tracker (could be added to your daily layout)

Motivational Fitness Quotes

Healthy Snacks to Eaat List

Healthy Recipes. Yummm yummmm.

Planned Meals Pages (i prefer allotting a page for this and putting the meals of each day on separate post its so I won’t use too many pages on this.)

Films, Movies, Series, and Anime

Movies to Watch (I put these in genres too. Like, 80s, Action, Fantasy, etc.)

Movies I’ve Watched

Film Reviews (same format at the book reviews, but for films and movies)

Series to Watch (which we all know, the list never ends)

Series I Finished

Fandom Page (print out Styles and Lydia making out, I guess. Or or or Regina and Robin Hood *heart eyes emoji 1000003428times*)

Series Tracker (Create consecutive boxes and each box represents an episode. Check off the box once you’re done watching an episode so you know where you’ve left off.)

Anime to Watch

Anime I’ve Watched (god knows i need more than one page for this)

Anime Tracker

Anime Season Lineup Tracker (if you’re really into Anime, you probably check different lineups. I like to put anime in sections like Winter Lineup 2015, Summer 2014, etc.)

Diary/Journaling

Standard Diary Layout

Conversations you’ve overheard

Glue a bunch of receipts/lettters for the month

Poems you like

Reaction & thoughts to poems

Original writing (poetry or prose)

A week of photos (just put pictures with the date and let the photos do the talking)

One Liners (thoughts you suddenly think of that you like, song lyrics that hit your heart, movie lines that are the feels, or book quotes that you really like.)

Art Journal Pages (create a collage, do an entry with a drawing, or even do this art challenge here!!)

Writing Prompt Pages (write down writing prompts and allot some space for you to write when you have nothing to do.)

Wreck This Journal Page (cut out Keri Smith’s 100 journal prompts, put them in an envelope, and stick it in your journal. Gradually do the prompts!)

Cute and Random Pages that Make Me Happy

Gratitude Page

Pen Test Page (it’s just so satisfying)

Goals I’ve Achieved (even the smallest goal like eating a 1 cm piece of onion without puking counts)

Things that Make Me Happy (like the warmth of newly dried clothes)

Bible Verses or Spiritual Book Quotes you like a lot

Cat/Pug/Puppy-Sized-Elephant Page (print and cut out a bunch of pictures of your favorite animal and go crazy.)

Confidence Page (put reassuring words that you tell yourself like “breathe.” “close your eyes and count to 10.” “you are a smart person who is probably just having a bad day. cheer up!)

My other masterposts!

Study Basics

and that’s about it lololol

Ok!! That’s pretty much all that I have. Please remember that these prompts are only ideas and that you can make them however you want! I haven’t even tried some of these and I’m excited o! Also these prompts can be done in ANY page of your bullet journal. They don’t have to be in sections or anything like that. & I hope you guys are enjoying the last few days of holiday break!! And if you’re already in school…. Happy back to school!! You can do this, you smart person you. 

If you guys wanna keep adding feel free to reblog and add on!! 

Happy Bullet Journaling! :)

After much research, consideration, and experimentation, I have decided that adulthood is not for me. Thank you for the opportunity

[getstudyblr]

 from a professional anxious student

BEFORE

Prepare yourself. This may seem obvious, but it’s the best you can do. If you’re well prepared, you’ll be a lot less stressed (or not stressed at all!) and your inicial anxiety will dissipate as soon as you start answering questions! 

“What is difficult today, may seem much easier tomorrow.” Be patient with yourself and don’t freak out if you don’t learn everything the second you start studying it. Don’t give up and you’ll eventually get the hang of it!

Get confident! With a negative mindselt, you’re digging your own grave.Who says you can’t do it? Go to that test thinking that you’re gonna ace it!

Go to bed early.  

Review notes right before the test. This one helps me a lot because I know the information is, once again, fresh. 

Make sure you have all the material you need. Make a list the night before so you’ll be sure you won’t forget anything. 

The basics: pencil, erasers, pens, water bottle

Show up early. 

DURING

First thing: write down the main points on your paper. Formulas? Key words? Write it down.

Calm down. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. 

Air in for four seconds

hold it for seven seconds

let go for eight. 

Do this at least five times. 

Can’t do it? Next question.

“I can’t remember anything” Yes, you can, you just need to calm down. Anxiety is confusing your thoughts and making you think about the worst case scenario.

Start by quick and easy questions, this will make you more confident and also more secure. 

Don’t panic if you think a question is too hard. Read the easy ones again, this may help you get the information you need.

Don’t leave blank answers!! You never know if your “bullshit answer” is not the right one. Been there, done that.

Focus on the test. I can’t stress this enough. Pay attention to what you’re doing right now. Don’t start making assumptions about your grade, don’t start thinking that you’re going to fail. Don’t even think about the last/next question. 

If you have time, review your answers. 

Spare at least twenty minutes to copy your answers to the answer sheet. 

Hand in your test like you’re conquering a kingdom. 

AFTER

Again, calm down. If you need to, repeat the same breathing exercise.

Discussing answers can be a russian roulette. If you get matching answers, it will be a relief, if you don’t, it’s only gonna make you more stressed. See what’s best for you. 

If you think that you had a bad grade because you have several “wrong” answers, remember that your classmates don’t always have the right answers.  I have been in situations in which I thought I got  the wrong answer, but ended up being the only one who got it right. 

REMINDERS

If you do fail, it’s not the end of the world. Focus on your weak spots and try harder next time. Failure is part of the road to success. 

Drink water, eat well, rest. Treat your body well.

Don’t forget to write your name. Seriously. 

Perspective is the key: focus on the bigger picture. 

Okay so you’re SURE you’re going to fail your chem test, but you had great grades so far. What’s the big deal? Yeah, you have one bad grade, so that means it’s a lot easier to bring it up again. 

If you need, get help. This may be from your parents, your school principal, your teacher, your psychologist, whatever. Sometimes, anxiety gets too strong and you may need the assistance of a professional.
