A balanced life Pt.2 - Spending Quality Time as a Law Student

Image
Studying Law is A LOT of work.  It’s hard and can suck you up fully if you’re not careful.  Law school is obviously on top of our priority lists, therefore, we can tend to forget that -oh hey- there is still a life out there that needs to be lived!  In opposition to what everyone says, studying Law does absolutely not have to mean giving up that very life.

my picture (please give credit) Growing up, my biggest dream was to one day become supernatural. I didn’t care wether I‘d become a fairy, vampire, mermaid or witch. I just didn’t wanna be human. - I wanted to be special and to have special powers with which I could do stuff. I felt so limited in my powers by everyone around me that I didn’t even quite believe I had special capabilities at all.  And I thought the only way to be unique and have some kind of power to change this world for the better was by becoming something „higher“ than human.  And while I still haven’t stopped believing in magic and superpowers, I have learned by now, that they come in different forms and they are already in me and all I need to do is learn how to use them.  One of my superpowers is love.
