Here are some things you need to bullet journal...

A Journal

Make sure you find a journal with thick pages and that is dotted, or plain. A medium to a large sized notebook can if you are wanting to have charts and diagrams. I recommend the Luechtturm Hardcover or Moleskine Hardcover, these are a perfect size and come in all different colors.

Pencils

Pencils can be used to outline your boxes or lettering until you put color on it. I prefer the Ticonderoga #2 Pencils because they erase easily and do not leave smudges.

Make sure you get pens that dry quickly so the ink does not smudge as you continue to write or draw. My go-to pens are Papermate InkJoy Gel Pens or Sharpie Pens. Neither of these pens seeps through the page and dry quickly.

Markers

Markers that do not bleed through the pages and have multiple uses are nice to have. Try to get markers like Crayola Super Tips or Leisure Art Pens. These pens have a sharp tip and can color easily.

Ruler

A ruler is nice to have if you like straight lines but cannot draw straight lines even with the dotted pages (like me).

Washi Tape

Washi Tape is used to decorate and add some pop to your pages. You can find these at craft sections, craft stores, or on Amazon.

Bullet journaling is fun and can get you organized in the way you want to. You are in full control of what your planner looks like, can add what you want to the pages, and personalize it the way you want. You can be as creative as you want to be and every page can be different. There can be pages on goals, tracking your habits, keep you in check to be healthy, and even ones that can track your moods every day. There are no restrictions.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
