Not to be capitalisms bitch, but time spent at work is SO relieving. Even the things that stress me out - it doesn’t affect my personal life.

It lifts the weight from my mind about whatever non-work related thing I’m stressed about at that moment.

Someone play on chess.com with me. I’m very bad and don’t really know how to play.

I'm sending you all the luck for exams!!

As someone with a *terrible* immune system, here are my Hot Tips(TM)

- take meds! Even if they don't kick the infection, they'll help you feel mildly more human

- vitamin C is your new best friend. Your other new best friend? CARBS

- Literally, order a giant pizza with as many toppings as you reasonably can enjoy. Eat it. Drink a large bottle of Gatorade, take your cold meds, have a box of orange juice, go to sleep for like 6-8 hours. Wake up, repeat for 24-48 hours

- STEAMY SHOWERS. Especially with eucalyptus smells for the steam if you can get it. Even if you can't stand the heat, literally just sit next to it. If you start feeling dizzy though, turn it off.

GOOD LUCK from a fellow law student - we got this!

Ah thank you so much! You have become the light of my life, I needed this so much and I will be doing ALL of it!

Good luck on your exams too!

I have my first exam of the season in about two weeks and I am literally begging the people to tell me how to clear up a chest infection (god mistook me for one of his strongest soldiers, I am not).

It’s probably viral so bad luck there.

This might be terrible advice, but use ChatGPT. Dear god, use ChatGPT or other AI programs. Not for coursework or exams but its strength is its ability to clarify concepts - a GREATLY needed feature during law school.

Don’t forget to fact check!

But use it to clarify, then read back through the complex explanation to see if it was right. It’ll make reading back through the original text much smoother, mentally, when you understand the basic points and concept. Clarification and summarisation are what you SHOULD be using ChatGPT for when everyone is using AI to an advantage.

We all love the ‘ancient married vampire couple’ trope, but where are the spicy divorced vampires? Fighting for who gets the holiday dungeon in Florida?? Having to translate their marriage contract because it was so long ago they forgot the language? Is there a custody arrangement over henchmen and evil minions?

And the LAWYERS!! Vampire divorce must be a veeeerrry lucrative practice area.

Trust me, I don't care if you're a STEM student, fellow law, humanities, whatever. There are only two kinds of playlists to study to (and these are my secret weapons for focus, I'm talking the gospel here) 1. video game soundtracks (they're literally made for focus, but also more fun than just binaural beats) and 2. the Succession soundtrack (it's not made specifically for focus but it will scratch your serious academic energy craving mind

I caused this mess of academic chaos. I didn’t HAVE to be studying so late. Could’ve just done this earlier but the VIIIIBEESSSS. The energy. Maybe it’s the moon pulling me in, making me breathe the night air to study but I just love it.

I’m so so tired.

I’m obsessed though, so do I really care?

this speaks to my soul (and my endless spite)

i know succeeding out of spite might not be the healthiest motivation but theres something about the idea of proving to everyone that i deserve to be here
