Bujo Buddies UTD
Description: Bujo Buddies UTD is an organization centered around the hobby of bullet journaling, which is a beloved organizational tool and creative outlet that allows people to express their artistic talents through drawing, scrapbooking, doodling, and the use of fun stationery such as washi tape and stickers, while also being a resource to plan out important tasks in a given month, week, and year overall. Bullet journaling encourages the idea of "spreads", which is a creative layout of everything planned for a certain time period. For example, creating a monthly spread would be decorating a cover page dedicated to the month's themes, and then creating a calendar and filling in important dates and deadlines within it. A weekly spread would be taking one week from the monthly calendar and focusing on it more to highlight details on what is important for that given week. Bullet journaling appeals to those who are artistic and want to express themselves through beautiful calligraphy and stationery like stickers, cutouts, washi tape, colored pens, and more, but it also appeals to those who want a more organizational and functional form of planning. Outside of bullet journaling, our organization will also plan activities related to bullet journaling in some form such as calligraphy workshops, pen palling events, stationery swaps, and more. Most importantly, Bujo Buddies UTD emphasizes inclusion and friendship. We want everyone in our organization to feel comfortable and included as our members, and we want everyone to have their voices heard in terms of what type of events they would like to see. Whether one has been bullet journaling for years or is interested in getting started, Bujo Buddies UTD will strive to bring everyone together and bullet journal in order to encourage accountability and productivity in a cute and artistic manner.
Mission: The mission of Bujo Buddies UTD is to create a positive, friendly space for those interested in bullet journaling to come together and share ideas for bullet journaling spreads and explore the art of aesthetics, productivity, and organization in a medium that promotes creativity, design, and self-care.
Purpose: Our purpose is to allow students to view bullet journaling as a stress-reliving organizational tool that only requires a space to express themselves, such as a digital or traditional journal, and their own brilliant ideas. We seek to unite students in the making planning their busy college lives more fun through friendships and bujo!
