My Christmas Wish List

Happy Wednesday!

Today is my last day of normal classes for the semester and my first exam is less than a week away. These facts are really bumming me out so I am trying to find something positive to think about today.

I have seen lots of other bloggers doing their Christmas wishlists so I decided to do the same. As a naturally nosy person, I always find these so interesting and often find a gift idea that I want or something to get for someone else who is hard to buy for.

I made a Christmas wish list on Amazon every year and send it out to family and friends who ask me what I want for Christmas. Throughout the year, I add things to the list that I like but don't immediately need. Making a list on Amazon is super easy to create, edit and share.

10 Essentials for a Productive Library Study Session

Good morning!

Is it just me or did the semester FLY by?! Exams are going to be here so fast.

My exam study habits have not changed much since 1L year. I pack up all my stuff and hunker down in a library study room for hours upon hours with my study group or on my own. It is not much fun but I find it to be the most productive study environment for me. My library study sessions are long and I like to be prepared. Therefore, I carry everything but the kitchen sink with me: books, snacks, blankets and sometimes even a tiny humidifier (yep- I am THAT extra and study rooms can be very dry). I have compiled a list of the 10 essential items I have to have for my library study sessions. This list is not all-inclusive (I bring lots of other crap too) but it is the big stuff that I CANNOT leave home without when I am heading into the library to get some work done.

What to do over Thanksgiving Break as a Law Student

I feel like I blinked once and Fall is almost over. Where did time go?!? Thanksgiving is next week! Wowzers. What this means is that I only have a few weeks and a lot of turkey and mashed potatoes between me and Fall semester final exams (my first exam is 12/2/18).

I wrote a post not too long ago on my final exam prep during the month leading up to exams. You can read it here. I had a few questions lately about what you should do over Thanksgiving break to get ready for exams so I decided to write up a post about it.

I will start with a disclaimer- everyone is different and everyone studies differently. Take my advice with a grain of salt; what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. Read it, use any tips you find useful and do what you need to do to be successful. You know yourself better than anyone so do what is best for you.

Sunday Six 11/11/18

Happy Sunday!

I normally do this on Friday but I had a really busy week and I just ran out of time. So instead of a "Friday Five", I am doing a "Sunday Six" of things I am currently into.

Ohio is currently freezing and experiencing our first snow so I have spent most of my weekend bundled up and cuddling with my hubby and pups. We also took down Halloween decorations, did some Christmas shopping, cleaned our basement and I got one of my outlines up to date. I know, we are really living it up. I have no class tomorrow so it's a 3 day weekend and there is nothing better than that to get rested and prepared for the week ahead.

Fall Fashion from Amazon

Good morning!

Today I am sharing some of my favorite fashion pieces that I have purchased from Amazon. I was skeptical at first to order clothes from Amazon but I have found some amazing deals and fabulous additions to my closet. I tend to be a bit of a fashion enthusiast (or as my husband puts it, a serial shopper with a much too full closet). I love nothing more than finding quality pieces at a good price.

Fall fashion is probably my favorite. I love this season and being able to dress cute without worrying about sweating or needing to bundle up against the cold. I am always looking for some new pieces in the Fall without breaking the bank- enter Amazon. Great deals, adorable pieces and free 2-day shipping with my Amazon Prime account! How can you beat that?!? Here are a few of my favorite pieces I have purchased and worn this Fall.
