Week One | Attempt a Bullet Journal

I suck at keeping journals, that's a fact you can take to the bank. But I've always admired people who can get on with it, y'know? I bought a really adorable Molang diary around Christmas time 2017 to keep as a diary for college etc, but its now sat in a bottom drawer never again to see the light of day.

So to try this whole malarkey again, I bought a new diary. Super cute, Sainsbury's organiser that was on offer for £4.50! But honestly the amount of money I've spent on diaries and organisers in the last 5 years is scary.



BEHOLD IN ALL ITS BEAUTY.

Isn't it pretty? I'm hoping with all of this bucket-listing I'm doing, it'll kick me up the butt so I'll actually use it.

So far I've added a Notes page, Habit Tracker with 4 sections, a Sleep Tracker and my weekly spreads!

I started off by researching how other people organise their bullet journals. My favourite set-up is when people use squared paper, not lined. It looks so much cuter, but I couldn't find a cute diary with squared paper, and aesthetic is, stupidly, important to me.

I watched a lot of YouTube videos, spent too much time on Instagram, and got impatient when I realised it was 22:22 and I had to go to bed. I was feeling so damn inspired but it was all going to go to waste because I wake up miserable like every damn day. But I was determined to make it work.

I've spent collectively about 2 hours on this month's spread, and it's pretty basic but I really like it, I think it looks cute!

So there we go, that's one more off the list!

Summer Bucket List

I've kinda cheated with setting this whole thing up. I used a name generator to come up with the name (funnily enough) and I downloaded some free header images to make this all pretty. Not the most original of starts, but this is like my 5th blog so I'm running low on inspiration!

I've also kinda cheated with the bucket list, in that before even posting this, well, post, number 1) is already done. But I can't exactly start this journey with an ugly blog now, can I?

I'll cross off the list as I go, unless I forget, then pleaseforgivemeIhavenobrain. Also I'm missing 6 ideas so with any luck, I'll add them as I go. Unless I forget, then see above.

Here we go.

1) Spruce up my blog aesthetic
2) Plan my living room redecoration
3) Make a super cute denim skirt
4) Keep a week long Korean skincare routine
5) Organise my bedroom
6) Take a free Open University course
7) Attempt a bullet journal
8) Plan my wedding dress
9) Paint something
10) Make my own ice cream
11) Put together five fail-safe outfits
12) Organise Uni stationery
13) Set up a Korean language cheat sheet
14)
15)
16)
17)
18)
19)
20) Have at least 30 posts on Sophiiable by Freshers week!


Hello, internet ether

I am bored.

Its a simple as that at the moment.

I'm about to finish a year long college course, and am bound for University in September, but what the hell do I do until then? Three whole months of jack shit to do.

I could join a sport, but I'm 90% incapacitated. I could learn a language, but I'm 100% impatient. Hell, I could even make things, but I'm so desperately bad at ideas for things to make.

I've decided to make a summer bucket list, as lame as that sounds. I've got a few ideas of what to start with, aiming for one per week, but as above, I'm the worst at patience so lets see how far this goes.

Hello world, my name is Sophiia and I'm gonna have some fun.
