Hello, beautiful! As you already know, it's Blogmas - and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I have been :) However, at least at my school, Blogmas overlaps with another popular blogging topic this time of year: finals week.
I put that in italics to emphasize just how ominous and dreadful the word "finals" can sound! As a first-semester freshman, I remember shaking in my boots at the way my professors characterized the final - only to breathe a sigh of relief when I actually took the exam.
TL;DR: as long as you're prepared, you're going to rock your finals! Organization is one of the key ways you can start preparing now to ace your exams. Lately, my favorite way to organize has been using my bullet journal more and more.
If you haven't heard of bullet journaling, it's about time you did! Bullet journaling is a method of organization that rolls a planner, to-do list and sketchbook all into one. You can customize your bullet journal as much (or as little) as you want because every spread is hand-drawn.
Each bullet journal contains an index, a monthly and a daily spread, along with as many other customized pages as you like. In this post, I'm gathering some of my favorite ideas for spreads and pages that will help you #bujo your way into finals week like a pro! Check out the 25 ideas below (one for every day of Blogmas - get it?) for the inspiration you need to start getting organized ASAP.
