Our last 1L Hack

The time is winding down😔. As we move closer and closer to the end of the semester, and the highly anticipated finals week, here are some tips to get you through Thanksgiving break as a law student:

• Give yourself permission to take a break! We as law student sometimes feel so guilty about taking a break that we don't get to enjoy the holiday. It is perfectly fine to use parts of your break to give yourself a recharge. The time with your family and friends and hearing their encouraging and supportive words may be just what you need to return back to school and get the job done!
• Create REALISTIC GOALS for what you want and need to accomplish over the holiday break. Students (especially me) usually pack every single casebook, supplement, and notebook because they just KNOW they're going to study everything they brought home over the break.  Usually when we create unrealistic goals for ourselves, we give up as soon as we realize that it's not actually possible and end up not doing anything at all. Don't be that student! Set your realistic goals now!
• Create a schedule and STICK. TO. IT! This goes with the aforementioned statement. If you create a schedule to accomplish specific goals, make sure you stick to it. Make sure you put plans with family and friends in your schedule so that you can be sure you'll meet your goals. You could study all morning and spend the evenings with family. You could spend entire days studying and use one or two days out of the break to spend time with family and friends. How ever you prefer to make your schedule, make sure you stick to it. 
• Get some sleep, PLEASE! Make sure you come back from Thanksgiving break refreshed and ready to attack those finals!

See you all next semester!

With an old neighborhood such as this, there is more than just history; there are “ghosts,” if you believe in those stories!
