So my desk setup for grad school is (almost) complete (missing some books). Gotta say, I’m pretty happy with it.

So I have been in law school for quite a while now. Even though I absolutely love it, I feel like literally EVERYBODY has their shit together more than me. I have seen people that you would not expect to be right for this job doing at least 10 times better that me. Which is fine and I am happy for them because they put a lot of work in! But how the fuck am I going to succeed? Like I feel like whatever I do, I simply can't get it right and manage to get my shit together?! HELP (love you blog btw)

I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone who feels like this in on a secret 

Law School Is Designed To Make You Feel Like A Fuck Up

Collecting failures like they’re beanie babies is part of the gig. Because, and this is the important part, when the time comes to be a lawyer, you could literally do everything right in a case and still lose. Like, bit the pavement and got curb-stomped on lose. 

And that history of fuck ups you’ve dealt with is going to be the backbone upon which you prop yourself up and keep doing your job the next day. And it’s going to make you a better lawyer and help you keep your sanity where others would fall into a ball crying and not be able to look at another case. 

So, that being said, let me address your specific case: 

1) Everyone is faking it. You’re just seeing them on their good days. Guarantee you that every person you see killing it has also fallen on the floor of their apartment and cried in sheer frustration. 

2) You’re still in law school? You’re succeeding. 

3) Getting your shit together is a matter of personal preference and deciding what your priorities are. But also if you’re actually legitimately struggling go check out @fuckstudy because she’s always got a ton of legitimately good advice and I’m over here just cursing and saying “you do you” most of the time.

I literally can’t stop thinking about my Barcelona adventure coming up! I’m going on a summer law school at the University of Barcelona and I’m beyond excited for that!!! I’m waiting on an approval for another summer school as well so let’s pray I get in for that one too. (So I get to spend even more time in Barcelona) I can’t wait! 🙏🏼

School: Don’t Plagiarize!!!!

Me: Omg is that sentence too close to my source material? Will I get kicked out of school if this gets flagged on Turnitin?

Lawyers: Go write up a pleading for this new client.

Me: Okay, sorry, I've just never done x kind of case before....

Lawyers: Pssh no problem, here's six different precedents from various cases I've been involved in over the years. This one I even just copied from someone else's materials that were on file with the court.

Me: ....

[Summer break 14.8]

I finally bought some ground, and I know one happy plant! I also bought one cheap diary to plan ahead in a better way. I love my bullet journal, but I need something to plan in advance properly. I reported the rest of August in there, but also what I already have planned for September (keeping my colour-coding to bring some life in there!). It’s pretty simple, plain, dull… but I’ll get myself a cuter one (probably more expensive too) for 2018 once the new stationery/bookshop opens nearby. It is 28°C in my studio, but that doesn’t stop me from lighting a peach-scented candle and make myself some apple/cinnamon-flavoured herbal tea. (Ah, smells so good in here!)

- ̗̀august 21st 2017☀️ ̖́- been enjoying my semester break for the last three weeks but now i’m back at writing my research paper 📖 luckily this one is much easier to get done because i actually know what i’m writing about. new semester doesn’t start until october but this piece of work is due at the end of september and since i’m doing an internship at my local high school next month (yay teaching) i pretty much only have about two weeks left to get this baby done. or at least mostly done. ☕️
