hello! it's seo from tbhstudying and i'm back
with another plan-with-me video for september 2018
this video was kindly sponsored by skillshare
which is an online learning community comprised of hundreds of different classes
i know i've talked a lot about skillshare before, but
you can truly learn a new skill no matter
how old you are in fields like graphic design
calligraphy, photography, and more!
a premium membership gets you unlimited access to all
of these classes, so you can improve your skills and find your new passion.
skillshare is less than $10 a month and if you
hurry and click the link in the description
the first 500 people can get a free trial for 2 months
that's a pretty good deal right there, so go on and click that link
and once you're done with that, come back to this video and finish
watching.
alrighty, so back to the video!
in all honesty, i'm surprised that i ended up with this
many spreads for the month of august. if you guys watched my august
plan with me video, then you already know that red and yellow
are not my favorite colors in the world. because of that,
i was fully expecting to have like, what, 3 spreads total?
and then be slammed by you guys during the flipthrough
portion of the video and be color-shamed or something like that?
but yeah! i journaled frequently in august and i wish
i could journal more in september too. i know it's too early
to know for sure but
considering my senior schedule so far, i don't think that
it's very likely.
and for september! wow!
i tried a new thing and i honestly hate it!
wow, what a surprise! then again,
things that i end up hating in my bullet journal always grow on
me later on? and i end up liking them a lot more
i think the main thing that i disliked about this spread was the fact
that i tried to be more structured and contained with my spread.
evidently, i don't work well with that kind of concept because
i feel like i executed it poorly compared to all the
super structured bullet journalists on
instagram and tumblr and youtube who have all those
boxes and everything super neat
i think my least favorite thing in this entire
thing, this entire mess, is the way i lettered september
especially? but, you know...
looking back on it now as i'm editing
and recording this voiceover, i think it doesn't look as
horrible as when i first finished it
at that point, it was pretty fresh in my mind and i
desperately wanted to cover it up or just not post the video
i put the video files on my computer anyways and let them sit for a few days.
then, i came back and looked at the files again and i realized
it wasn't so bad after all
i think that happens for nearly every bad thing or problem
at first, it seems like the world is going
to end and the thing is just so incredibly bad
however, once you give your situation or problem some time
and you put it out of your mind for a while, it doesn't seem as bad
as it first was. you can still acknowledge that the thing was
not the best thing in the world
and acknowledge that the feelings that you have about it
are valid but the dislike and the negative emotions sorta
mellow out.
that seems like i'm reading way too much into the
situation that we currently have here which is literally
two pieces of paper but i feel like
that's an important attitude to have when you have a problem
or issue to deal with. and it's something important to remember.
and soooooo for september, alrighty folks!
i stuck with green as being my main color
after making the first spread though, i was pretty unhappy and i made
a second spread to make up for the first one. for that one, i added an
accent color of yellow hoping that i would train myself to
like the color more. i'm not gonna lie
i do enjoy yellow more than i used to after
using it sooo much in my bullet journal. i considered using red
but then, it would feel way too christmassy and it's not
the time for that yet.
also, i'm a predictable coward who consistently uses the
same color for months year after year after year if you
look at my last year's september video, i used green too
and i feel like i need to break the mold at some point but
it's comfortable for me and we're gonna be staying in the comfort zone
for this month
i also considered my goals and expectations for the upcoming school year
while making this spread too.
i'm entering my final year of high school and it just
feels sooooo bizarre to say that.
it doesn't feel like three years have passed.
it feels like i'm still that
small, young, and naive 14
year old entering high school for the first time.
rationally, i know that i'm taller (thank god)
and i've grown more mature and gained more
experience since then
probably. but it's still a funny and strange
concept to me
and because of that, i want to make this year the best year.
i want to learn from all of my mistakes and all of my
successes from the last three years of high school
i want to learn, i want to grow, i want to flourish.
whooooo boy, that sounds SO cheesy
hahahaha but anyhow,
that's what i did for september, folks!
once again, thank you to skillshare for sponsoring this
video and thank you for taking the time to watch! i'll see you in the next video
and until then, take care~
bye!!
