I'm a lawyer now

I'm stuck in a cubicle with my name on it. I fill my timesheet daily. I got my first paycheck and I used it to get an anxiety diagnosis.

I'm a lawyer now.

I see my co-workers quit so often that farewell parties are commonplace. The NVCA model documents have burnt their way into my retinas. I am made of alarms and notifications.

I'm a lawyer now. Is this what I fought so hard for?

I feel like dropping out every other second! What should I do????!!! I'm in the second year of my law degree!!!!

As someone who didn't drop out and made it to the other side, just think about the sunken cost XD

You've put in too much work (and money) to get past second year. Law school gets worse before it gets better - stick it out and dm if you ever need anything (i don't go through my asks enough)

I'm not one to have new year's resolutions, but I'm trying to prioritise myself this year. I'll be starting my new job in June, and I realised if I don't prioritise my own time, noone will. This year's about starting a new job, but also prioritising my hobbies, health and the relationships that sustain my life. It's about drawing better boundaries with people and treating the world with more love. In that vein, I made a list of resolutions that don't revolve around my work:

3 chess games everyday

pet more cats

Walk 30 mins everyday

Learn how to solve rubix cube

Finish 20 books across 20 genres and write a review

Watch at least one movie every week and write a letterboxd review

Play an instrument for 20 mins every day (guitar/ukelele)

learn how to write odiya

prioritise relaxation alongside excelling at work

focus on diet, get water and protein intake in

get driver's license

get an extra piercing (or two hehe)

I made a moodboard on pintrest using these ideas, I hope I see them to fruition this year🌟

Happy 2025 everyone!!

I haven't posted in forever, and I think that's a good sign as I often only return to this account when I need to clear my head and I'm in a much better place right now. I'm placed now, I have a job lined up for me and I spend most of my time relaxing or at the gym. This is the best I've ever felt honestly, with no baggage or anxieties. I've made a ton of great memories in my law school days and I'm glad to be at the place I currently am. Life's good, and for anyone following my account as a law student, this is a sign that the struggle is always worth it XD

I'm restarting my studyblr for placements season. I know I have to study but I end up in a constant loop of procrastination so I hope this account helps me the way it did when I was working to get into law school. I came back home because in college all I did was get high and waste time. Although it helped me get a lot calmer and deal with my anxiety, it put a hamper on my productivity. Let's hope I get back on track this time.

Goals for today: finish contracts law entirely, have 3L of water, limit screentime

Reading in the morning + messy desk.

02|01|2024

The struggle to focus while working on the book I have to study for my exam is so real it hurts. Today I was very motivated to do anything but that. I still got something done which is good, and tomorrow I will do my best to try to finish it.

calm hobbit winter:

read first thing in the morning

worked on a couple of posts

practiced Irish on duolingo

started a proper review of all the duolingo units I have done in the past in French (which will be my main focus in the next weeks for getting back my french knowledge goal)

finished reading and highlight the 8th chapter of Nature,Human Nature and Human differences by J. Smith and wrote notes for it

started reading and annotating the last chapter (it's almost done I cannot wait for it to be over)

someone called me "beautiful soul" and that will be my only personality trait for the rest of the day

fixed a couple of spreads in my 2024 reading journal

continued working on my bullet journal spreads (in particular I worked on my goals page and started working on my language learning pages)

worked on a crochet project made with scrap yarn (no idea if something decent will come out of it, we'll see)

Happy new year guys!

I started my sem break, and went on a small vacation. I have a list of new years resolutions and so far I'm optimistic about the new year. My internship starts next week and I'm excited/terrified. Hopefully this year is gentler than the last. It's also my last year in college so gotta make it count❤️

Hey do you think clat is possible in 40 days?

if someone really work their ass off?

Heyy, I know this sounds useless but it totally depends from person to person. If you're someone who's great at GK and fares decent at logical reasoning, it's definitely possible. The GK portion is the make of break so if that isn't strong it's very hard to crack it in 40 days. If you're starting right now, I'd suggest trying out GkToday videos to help you as they helped me with my prep quite a bit

Best of luck❤️✨

It's been so long since I posted that I forgot why I had this account. I recently started a new internship immediately after a very intense one, so naturally the exhaustion is getting to me. My college started releasing assignments and I have a moot and another event coming up all within this month.

I'm starting to feel burnt out but I started working out today, so I feel I'm at least headed in the right direction and I hope I manage to make future me as proud of me as my past self has made me feel.

I read this quote today saying, maybe the reason you have no confidence is because you don't respect the choices you make. I realised that somewhere down the line, I started making choices that I vibed with or liked at that point of time without considering whether they were worthy of respect, whether they reconciled with the ambitions I had.

It's never too late to have these realisations, and I'm on the path to being a better version of myself. Here's to hoping that I find time to be happy with myself while I'm at it.

I've been in a pretty bad slump and i realised the last time i was truly productive was when i was using this account, so i wanted to start this studyblr again.

It feels kinda nice to know i have this account to fall back on, it reminded me of all the things i did and am capable of doing. Let's hope i get back in the zone, otherwise this exam season would be brutal

Transphobia is so antithetical to genuine feminism it blows my mind there's such a wide overlap like you either believe in autonomy and self determination or you don't

i love you. on purpose.
