“I feel like a bullet journal is almost like a planner; it’s a place where you can write down thought, trackers for habits, put a calendar in there… it’s everything you need for your life all in one book,” Brennan Eicher, senior at Community High School said. “Bullet journaling is good, because it’s what works best for you, which is why I think it works for a lot of people. I think it’s a very helpful tool, [and] I 100 percent agree that it can be used to help mental health and to just get everything on paper, like write your thoughts down. I think that can be very healthy, [and] I would definitely recommend it to other people, especially if they find it works for them.”
