Bullet journal plan with me: November 2020

I can't quite wrap my head around the fact that we're in November already! Like genuinely, where did the time go? November means we're over the hump of 2020, so cue the rapid rolling and tumbling towards 2021 - which, truly, could not come fast enough at this rate. November is the time when I …

How to schedule your studies and organise your class notes

Okay so I don't know if I speak for the entire universe here but first week of third year absolutely kicked my butt. I have no idea if maybe the lockdown and lack of uni for six months added to my insane exhaustion this week, but boi BOI All of that being said, I have …

My goals for uni 2020-21

So university starts again tomorrow. I mean technically I'm just rounding up on induction week, so I've sort of already been in for a week? But not really? I had like one talk over Zoom, that doesn't count. So university starts again tomorrow... I'm feeling pretty apprehensive about this year, have to be honest. I …

Bullet journal plan with me: October 2020

I think we're going to just keep trying post formats until I settle on one that works... Welcome back to El's monthly bullet journal update! I've been doing some thinking. I said in one of my more recent bullet journal posts that I felt the system I had - posting a wrap up of the …

Review: The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

I'm genuinely so glad I'm back into reading again. It's become a proper part of my daily routine now, which I couldn't be happier about, and I feel a lot better for it. I'm actually making a dent in the books that have been left unread on my shelf for years, and I'm looking forward …

June bullet journal wrap up

Okay so... I finished a bullet journal? I mean that isn't really news - just because I gave up on my journal at the tail end of 2019, doesn't mean I'm incapable of finishing what I started. That just happens most of the time, okay? But I filled up my journal with my June weekly …

Review: Out of Love by Hazel Hayes

OOOOH we ready for this?! I don't even know where to begin. This book man. THIS BOOK Firstly - hi! It's been a while. You might have thought that my lack of reviewing meant that I'd fallen back into my oh-so-typical lack of reading. It's a fair assumption - that's what usually happens anyway! But …
