Dark Academia Bullet Journal

haunted-soull:

So yes Dark Academia is a genre of fiction I realize that but it is also an aesthetic to many of us internet dwellers who love Donna Tartt and so here are some things I do with my own bullet journal to fit that Dark Academia Aesthetic, of course, a bullet journal is a very personal thing so do whatever you like this is just my personal style and ideas

Scrapbook Style

• old/antique photographs
• bits of brown paper
• pages from old books
• pressed flowers
• grid paper
• photo negatives
• polaroids
• pieces of lined paper
• oddly colored post-it notes
• cream cardstock
• nature themed stickers

Write in the extra space

• literary quotes
• poems (original or from someone else)
• reading lists/library lists
• playlists
• movie lists
• drawings of plants 
• drawings of books
• reflections on the week or life in general

overall stylistic choices

• try to stick to one color scheme per spread/month preferably earth tones, dark blues, and blacks, neutrals
• minimalistic styles work very well 
• if cluttered make it somewhat eclectic in texture but uniform in color
• generally more simplistic spread styles
• leave space for little daily entries and reflections

now go forth and enjoy some good bullet journaling if you have anything to add feel free to reblog with comments I hope this is helpful/inspirational and I will again repeat bullet journaling is super personal so don’t take this too seriously do whatever you like with your bullet journal these are just general tips for those who want to achieve a certain aesthetic
