I take this same test pretty much every 5 years since I first discovered it as a Psychology student in University.

I personally love writing in journals and have been doing so since I was a little girl. For those that don’t mind having a digital version, Penzu is an awesome, free online journal that can keep your thoughts and photos secure and with you at all times.

As a non- Graphic Designer, programs like Canva are a lifesaver. Templates for pretty much any type of graphic you need to spruce up presentations, social media posts, flyers and so much more.

They do offer a Pro version that would include more fonts and images.
