You know that feeling when you finish an amazing book and just… stare into space for a few minutes? Like your brain is still in the story, but your hands need to do something about it? That’s where reading journals come in.
Whether you want to fangirl over fictional crushes, track your 47th reread of Colleen Hoover’s bestseller, or just make peace with the fact that your TBR is growing faster than your bank account allows—there are many reading journal ideas for that.
Let’s be real—college life can feel like a whirlwind of classes, assignments, social events, and late-night study sessions. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of what you actually want to achieve. That’s where a college vision board comes in.
Think of it as your personal hype wall—a space filled with your goals, dreams, and the motivation you need to push through even the toughest semesters. And thanks to TikTok, we’ve got tons of creative, aesthetic, and super effective ways to make your college vision board that actually works.
“Did you do the reading?” Probably not. “I’ll start the assignment early this time.” Definitely a lie. “Is this on the test?” A classic.
But guess what? You made it! Graduation day is finally here—the moment you’ve worked so hard for! The late-night study sessions, endless coffee runs, and group projects (some more chaotic than others) have all led to this. Whether you’re tossing your cap in the air, striking a power pose in front of your university sign, or sharing a laugh with your best friends, your graduation pictures should capture more than just a diploma—they should tell your story.
You survived the all-nighters, the caffeine-fueled breakdowns, and that one group project where you did all the work. Now, it’s time for the grand finale—graduation! And what better way to celebrate than by decking out your grad cap with a design that screams YOU?
It doesn’t really matter if you’re going for sentimental, hilarious, or straight-up fabulous, as your grad cap is your final creative mic drop before heading into the real world.
