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. It’s extremely important actually, to keep this balance between work and leisure time!  You need to consciously schedule activities that have absolutely nothing to do with Law School into your weekly calendar so that you can keep a clear mind and a fair bit of joie de vivre! These activities do not have to be fully unproductive.  When you do something efficient as a study break, you tend to go back into studying with an immediate ability to concentrate and focus.  These efficient breaks can consist of doing things by yourself or with other people. Hence I am going to part this article into two. ...

New Years resolutions are such a ridiculed thing these days. No one actually takes them seriously and even if so, no one ever holds onto them and makes them come true. Now, I just wanna clarify, I did not realize the importance of setting and following goals until probably this year. Yet, this is an opportunity for both you and me to take on this journey together. So, common, follow me! First off, the basics. Goals do not have to be set at New Year's. You can set them whenever you like, if it's January 15th or October 27th. -And that's important to realize. Changes can be made at any time a year and even if you set your resolutions at the beginning of the year and didn't follow them up until now (as of mid/end October), doesn't mean you cannot still find start! You can begin drinking enough water on the very day you're reading this article. -Speaking of... ...Your goals can (and should) consist of much greater aims than drinking water or going to the gym....

DECIDE while others are delaying. PREPARE while others are daydreaming. BEGIN while others are procrastinating. WORK while others are wishing. SAVE while others are wasting. LISTEN while others are talking. SMILE while others are frowning. PERSIST while others are quitting. -Unknown  I touched on this in my latest blog post; starting is the hardest part. And while this may sound like yet another petty saying, there really is a lot to it. Thinking about how hard it's gonna be, how awfully long it is gonna take, how much energy and afford it requires and how much rather you'd be watching the latest episode of "Suits" really does make starting a task seem like the most annoying thing to do right now.  In uni, especially in Law School, it is extremely important to keep things in perspective. For you to stay on top of the game requires to stay motivated all throughout the years. Instead of seeing the assignment as a super unnecessary burden, try to think of it as an...

It's hard to find a start when it comes to studying. Especially when you're already exhausted by just the thought of all the work you have to get done. It's important to realize that, no matter what time a day, you can always find a way to get your head into the right zone, if only you're able to see the excitement of different day times. -Like the freshness of an early morning, always like a new chapter, a new chance to shine. Or the quiet of a late night, with PJs and hot chocolate. It is possible to find beauty at any hour and that, girls and boys, is what can make studying actually exciting. Here are some *aesthetic* concepts that can help you get excited for studying all throughout the day (&night): Early morning:  fresh air and open windows, chirping birds, a cup of hot tea, writing to-do lists for the day, repeating what you learned late last night Mid-Morning/ Pre-Lunch-Time:  taking a walk, then sitting back down, clear brain, a cup of coffee, jumping...
