Never regard your study as duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn the liberating beauty of the intellect for your own personal joy and for the profit of the community to which your later work will belong.

Impact: it goes both ways

The student nurse you just rolled your eyes at is on her last warning: she’s failed a clinical before, she’s failed a lecture class. She is having a difficult time remembering what Cardizem is for, not because she isn’t intelligent, but because she’s at the point of giving up, and what’s one more person who doesn’t believe in her.

The baby nurse you just called stupid (in your head), and aloud in your sucking of your teeth was at the top of her class. She was favorite of her clinical instructors - the “one to watch,” she was the first to help her fellow students with their homework, yet she’s struggling in her first job. She feels stupid, and she can feel the energy that others think she’s stupid.

The nurse you just complained about who always calls out is just trying to hold it all together, she’s trying to be brave, she’s trying to keep her private life private. She’s trying to find the will to come to work, the will to live. One more complaint and she maybe won’t be so brave.

The resident you just yelled at on the phone is quiet, not because you’ve got a right to yell at her since she didn’t answer her page… 5 times, she’s quiet since she was in the OR, and she just nicked an artery in the surgery she was assisting on. She nicked an artery in front of the scariest surgeon in the hospital. She nicked an artery that would cost a patient blood transfusions, possibly more surgeries, and certainly more pain post operatively. She’s quiet since you didn’t give her a chance to tell her why you didn’t answer. She’s quiet, as she feels like such a failure and if she speaks she will break down right about now, despite how strong everyone thinks she is.

If a person is experiencing a rough moment, or rough day, it doesn’t mean “they’re too sensitive.” It doesn’t mean they aren’t exceptional in ways you haven’t seen.

If a person is quiet, it doesn’t mean their thoughts aren’t valid or if they even agree.

Struggling doesn’t mean failure. Struggling doesn’t mean failure. Struggling doesn’t mean failure.

Maybe it isn’t up to us to know the whys behind the mask; but we sometimes have the choice to impact people, why let it be doubt when we can impact with consideration?

Friday, February 26.      Yesterday was math day. 📏📐 I always dedicate all thursdays to math, since I struggle with this subject a lot. I try to include it in some of the other days of the week so I keep practicing. Also, I found some time to review some previous biology notes yesterday. 📑📗

starting a bullet journal, a guide by studypetals

hey everyone! it’s rhianne, or studypetals. i’ve gotten a lot of questions and concerns about how to start a bullet journal, so i decided to start a new one myself to show you how i set mine up!

GENERAL INFORMATION:

so what’s a bullet journal? well, it’s not an actual journal, per se, but rather a system of journaling! the “bullet” word comes from “bullet points,” the way tasks/events are jotted down in this journaling system. (source)

what is a bullet journal used for? a bullet journal can be used as a simple planner system, but it can also be a creative way to plan your daily/weekly tasks! some people even use it as a half-scrapbook/half-planner (like me!)

what’s the difference between a planner and a bullet journal? this is a great question i’ve gotten before. a planner already has the dates/decorated pages/etc. all you have to input into a planner is tasks and events. a bullet journal is a book of blank pages, so it allows more creative freedom than a planner does. if you aren’t patient enough for free-handing everything, stick to a regular planner. if you like having a unique journal/planner and like customizing your spreads, look into starting a bullet journal!

MY SETUP:

picture 1: material starter pack here’s what i use for my bullet journal (aside from the decorative things like washi tape, magazine cutouts, etc.)

moleskine notebook, regular, squared, soft cover

zebra mildliners

pilot g-2 pens

muji 0.35mm pens

picture 2: cover page i just have a cover page to catalogue what this journal has in it. you can always put anything you want on the cover page, like:

the semester you’re using it in

your name

“bullet journal” or “planner”

a simple quote

etc.

picture 3: index so for my first journal, i didn’t even use an index. it’s up to you whether you want to include one or not. if you use an index, remember to number the rest of the pages after it! you can either catalogue every page after you’re done with it, or only the pages you really want to reference.

picture 4 (left): legend this is super important, especially for a bullet journaling system! so in this particular system of journaling, each task has a bullet point next to it. the most regular one i’ve seen is a square, so that’s what i use. what the legend does is keep track of what each symbol means. of course, if you just want to fill the squares in after you complete a task, then you don’t need this. however, if you want more organization, then make up whatever symbols you need to for this part! there isn’t one concrete symbol system, so do what works for you!

picture 4 (right): testing stationery page i like seeing what each pen/highlighter writes like before i really use it, so why not make a page for testing them! what i do is write what type of stationery it is with the actual pen/highlighter so i don’t forget which stroke is which.

picture 5 (left): favorite washi page ahhhh one of my favorite pages. you can put your washi collection on this page, or just strips of the ones you like a lot! they can be as long or short as you want them to be.

picture 5 (right): youtube ideas! (or other filler pages) this isn’t for everyone, of course, but it’s one that i added! i just showed it to you guys since i wanted to show the washi tape page. anyways, there are a lot of cool pages you can add throughout your bullet journal, such as:

books to read/movies to watch/etc.

life goals

expenses

favorite quotes

moodboards

class schedule/information

recipes

AU ideas (for writers!)

favorite art pieces

favorite lyrics

etc.

picture 6: weekly spreads the big one! so this is what i primarily use my bullet journal for. step-by-step, this is how mine are created (but you can always make yours unique):

make the title (“week #,” or something)

write the days

write the dates

write down the tasks for each day

make a section for something you have to do each day (the “essentials”)

write down the extra sections (goals, important dates, quote of the week, habit trackers, etc.)

decorate with washi tape, doodles, printed pictures, magazine cutouts, leaves, flowers, movie tickets, etc.

extra resources from me to you:

doodle references

banner references

font references

WHEW. that’s all i have for this topic (for now.) i hope any or all of this helps you guys out there wanting to start a bullet journal. if you want to make one, we’re gonna be in this together! have fun and remember the most important thing: it doesn’t have to be perfect. not all the pages are gonna be great, you’re gonna make mistakes, and some pages are just not gonna be what you wanted them to be, but that is 100% okay. just remember to have fun with it, and just.. start!
