MINIMALIST STUDENT BULLET JOURNAL SETUP || quick and easy spreads that helped me survive University!

[@KaitlinGrey]

I hope you all enjoyed this student bullet journal setup! This video is pretty intense so grab a cup of tea and put up your feet or feel free to use the timestamps to go back and rewatch any parts you want to. I truly hope this video is helpful for my fellow students. As someone who's had ALOT of experience in school (currently I'm in a Masters) I'm always happy to share everything I learned and I hope it gives you some ideas on how to get organized!

I've watched and rewatched this video so many times!! I love how practical, beautiful & simple your spreads are -- the layouts are perfect for me and are so much fun to recreate in my own journal :)

[@KaitlinGrey]

Thank you so much Olivia! I'm so so happy to hear that and I'm so honoured you put some of the spread in your own journal! Best of luck with school/work/whatever you got going on 💕💕💕

[@karenshalev3828]

This was an amazing video! I've been needing some serious student bujo inspo and this was everything I needed. And thank you for creating something I can see myself using throughout the semester. I love being artsy, but there's no time for that with school. I'm going to be setting up my bujo tomorrow with this video next to me.

[@KaitlinGrey]

Thank you so much Karen, I'm so happy to hear that! Have fun setting up your bujo and best of luck this semester!!

I love this so much! I am two weeks into my semester and feeling so overwhelmed and then I woke up and found my unfilled notebook. I automatically came here for your regular monthly setup video and found this instead. My only question is do you separate this from your regular setup? Thank you for sharing this! 🖤

[@KaitlinGrey]

Hey Jasmin, thank you for being so open and honest, I've had my fair share of uni overwhelm and I know it can be really hard and agitating. I'm so happy to hear that you found this video helpful and to answer your question, yes! In September plan with me I show in that vid how I setup the timetable and due date overview spread in addition to my monthly calendar, habits, etc. I chose not to include all the spread in this video since not all of them are immediately relevant (ie, I don't have to buy textbooks this semester) but no, I don't separate them from my regular notebook, I like to keep it all together!

[@lachelledo]

this is willllld i was just watching your first student bujo undergrad video yesterday for the first time looking for more videos like yours with spread ideas like yours and was just thinking that i wish you made a video specific to this online fall semester. AND THEN BOOM NEXT DAY U CAME OUT WITH THIS THANK U QUEEN

[@KaitlinGrey]

ahaha I love how that worked out! Literally so wild! You're so welcome, I hope it was helpful 💕

[@raineaye]

Beautiful set up and highly applicable to managing my business with some slight changes. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

[@KaitlinGrey]

Oh wow, I'm so glad it was able to work for your business! And thank you, I'm so happy it was helpful!

[@TheMacaroniMonster]

I'm SO SO happy to hear that Amelia! Thank you!

[@lunadacosta4791]

This was super helpful I am a beginner and didn’t know where to start and this was the first video that didn’t overwhelm me 😌💓 thanks

[@KaitlinGrey]

I’m so happy to hear that Luna! If you have any questions I’d be more than happy to help in any way I can 💕

[@loveys_plans]

Omg love this! I think I'll try applying this to my language learning. I know I need better accountability and planning with that. Good luck with classes 💙

[@KaitlinGrey]

Thank you! I never thought of using it for languages, but you're absolutely right, it would work wonderfully! What language are you learning?!

[@loveys_plans]

@@KaitlinGrey your video was so nice and detailed the thought just came to me. Just Spanish!

[@KaitlinGrey]

@@loveys_plans Thank you again, you are too kind! Oh wow, Spanish?! That sounds like such an interesting language, I've heard that in some ways it's similar to french.

[@loveys_plans]

@@KaitlinGrey ironically I took French in high school. Learned nothing. Don't really care for how they teach languages in the US. So I'm trying to learn myself.

[@KaitlinGrey]

@@loveys_plans Oh interesting! Yes, I learned French as well (its required in Canada up to a certain age) but I was always told that once you know French its easier to learn Spanish (apparently?). That's awesome you're taking learning into your own hands!

[@hi-ue2dp]

I love your cursive!😍😍😍

[@zahrabarekzai2518]

Omg, I know, right!?!

[@hi-ue2dp]

Exactly!

[@KaitlinGrey]

oh my goodness, thank you all for so much love!! Each and every one of you is too kind 🥰

[@xtkreates]

Hi! I'm not sure if you would see this as this vid is 3 months old now, but I have a question! I am currently studying for a diploma in fine arts and most of the time our assignments are due on the same day and its really time consuming, do you have any advice on how I can tweak this spread a little to better fit my school assessment deadlines? I loved this video!! It really gave me a better idea of what I needed to add and remove from my current spreads :) thankiew

[@KaitlinGrey]

Hey! Omg yes of coarse, I’d be happy to share what I would do! So I find when I have a bunch of stuff due on the same day or even close together in the same week, I like to get ultra organized and usually I’ll plan to complete sole assignments before the due date so I’m not working on 12 things at once. I think it’s important to have some place where you can reference the actual due date, but I’d also recommend throwing in a project timeline spread! I don’t think I show it in this video, but I do have a separate video (i think the titles: my project planning system or something like that) where I go over how I plan for when I’m actually going to do the project and figure out how multiple projects are going to overlap. Sorry, that was kinda long, but does that make sense??

[@xtkreates]

@@KaitlinGrey I just watched the project timeline video!! It was very useful :D I’ll definitely be trying out and taking your advice 🧚🏻‍♀️ Thankiew so much for replying me 💝💝💝

[@KaitlinGrey]

I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful XuanTing! Best of luck in your studies and if you every want to chat about bujo organization for school just hit me up in the comments or shoot me a dm and I’d be happy to talk!!

[@xtkreates]

@@KaitlinGrey 🥺🥺 It means a lot!!! Thankiew so much T^T 💝💝💝

Imagina conseguir saber qual estação vc tá pelo tempo da sua cidade?

[@soph.a.doph.aesthetic809]

I have the same brush pen! How is your penmanship so good???

[@KaitlinGrey]

Thank you so much! haha, if I had to come up with an answer I'd say my penmanship is the way it is from lot (AND LOTS) of practice, my perfectionistic tendencies and a smidge of blind confidence 😆

[@guadachadderdon5828]

How do you write like that? What font do you follow?

[@KaitlinGrey]

If its the lettering you're curious about, I learned mostly on my own and then over time developed my own style. But if you're wondering about my handwriting, well that my friend is just kinda how its always been, I used to write it more strait but now I like it to have a bit of a slant 😄 I'm not sure if that's a very helpful answer but that is what I do!

[@iamceliaruiz]

Hi! I just watched your video and I love how you edit it. I just started uploading vlogs, could you watch them?? 💞

[@KaitlinGrey]

Thank you so much Celia!
