What is a student journal?
A student journal is a collection of thoughts, feelings and recollections about life as a student. It can be completely private, or a record which you share with family and friends.
Why write a student journal?
Recording your experience of being a student is a nice way to reflect on a new chapter in your life and to keep track of events, feelings and thoughts. Also, it'll make very interesting reading in the years to come! It's also a great way to share new experiences with family members, other students and friends elsewhere.
A shared journal can be a great way for family members to stay connected. It's also a deeply personal way of capturing events and memories.
When should you start writing a student journal?
You can start writing a student journal at any time. It's never too late to start one, and you can keep writing a journal after you graduate.
What should you write about in your student journal?
Journals are very personal things and usually include thoughts and recollections on anything and everything that happens, including:
- Social life
- Relationships and dating
- Studies and learning
- Your thoughts on local or world affairs
