This Week's 1L Life Hack!

Finish Strong

             Well, they are finally here - Spring semester finals.  In the next few weeks, make sure that you do your best to leave everything you have left in the law school.  Study hard for each exam to make sure that you have no regrets when grades come out in late May or early June. 

Make the most of your time between exams by jumping into the next subject.  Don’t spend too much time relaxing or drinking after each exam, collect your thoughts about the exam you just finished and continue to prepare for the next exam.  The less you rethink the questions from the exam you just took, the better your focus will be for the next exam. 


If your professors are offering extra office time, take advantage of it and ask the questions that you have.  Professors usually enjoy the end of the semester the most because they get to see the overall development of each student come to fruition through the questions that are asked right before the exam. 


Again, make sure that you give the next two to three weeks everything you have so that you can enjoy the summer knowing that your grades reflect your effort.  Good luck on your exams!
