A Week by Week Study Schedule

Happy Thursday!

This post come s by request and I think it will be super helpful. I have alluded to my weekly study schedule in the past but I have never devoted a whole post to it so that is what's on tap for today.

Figuring out what you need to study and work on week to week in law school can be challenging. There is always a ton of stuff to do and just so many hours in which to complete it. I am sharing the study schedule which has worked well for me over my 2.5 years in law school. I have honed it to what works perfectly for me. I hope you find it helpful as well!

Here is a sample look at my week to week study schedule. This is what I do during the majority of my semester until about a month before finals. Then I integrate more study time to prepare for finals. More on that in this post: PREPARING FOR LAW SCHOOL EXAMS ONE MONTH OUT

Tips for Getting Back into Studying After Break

Well... Christmas break is over. Sad, sad day. Today is my first day of the new semester... it is also the last time I will EVER SAY THAT! HALLELUJAH!


Because it is time to go back to school after a glorious, relaxing break, I am going to share my best tips for getting back into the study grind after a break. It is never easy to get motivated to back to classes and homework after break time. However, there are ways to make the transition easier. Here are my top tips.

25 Lessons I have Learned in 25 Years

Happy Sunday!

Today is my 25th birthday. I woke up to donuts from our local bakery that my hubby got up early to get and he's taking me to Olive Garden later #blessed. The last semester of my law school career starts tomorrow but I am going to ignore that for a sec and focus on what's really exciting here- MY BIRTHDAY!

My 25 years have been pretty great. I have traveled worldwide, I have had amazing educational opportunities, I have fallen in love, I have pursued passions, I have chased my dreams... I have been blessed beyond measure to never spend a day hungry, cold, penniless or in danger. On this quarter life milestone, I am doing a little reflection over 25 lessons I have learned in my 25 trips around the sun.

Friday Five 1/4/19

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

It's the first Friday of 2019- how exciting is that?!

My week was super chill. I hung out with my hubby, cuddled with my pups, slept in, did some projects around the house, started on my reading for the first week of Spring classes and tried my best to soak up the final days of Christmas break. I got all but one of my Fall semester grades back and I was very pleased. It was a solid semester and my GPA went up a bit. I am feeling good and ready to take on this last semester.

My 25th birthday is on Sunday and I go back to school for the final semester of my academic career on Monday. Today, I am talking about a few of my favorite things from this week.

Introducing A Novel Idea Online Book Club

One of my resolutions for 2019 is to read more for fun. I am never at a loss for reading to do (after all I am in law school), but I really miss reading for fun. I have always been a HUGE reader... Like, finish a 900-page book in less than 12 hours type of reader. In middle school, I would get in trouble for reading my books under my desk in math class and my parents once took my bedside lamp out of my room because I stayed up reading too late.

My resolution for 2019 is to read 25 books. I wish it were a higher number but with finishing law school and studying for/taking the bar exam, I wanted to make a manageable goal. Book clubs have always intrigued me but I have never found a group of people to join one with.
