HOW I SURVIVED LAW SCHOOL YEAR
It was the beginning of the year and unlike every other bar aspirant, or rather, some bar aspirants, I was not excited to be getting on a new journey.
this story might come off as undone because technically I am not even done with this phase of life. I mean, I am still waiting for my bar results.
Man oh man! the year was tough. every other bar aspirant can attest to that. it was tougher for me because I have never really been goal-driven my entire life. this year was very personal to me so I took the bull by the horns. have I succeeded?

the first step to conquering any and everything is to have the right mindset that you can and you will. I was quite the pessimistic person but this year I have refused to think or entertain even the tiniest form of unbelief. I say to myself always that I can and I will and I must. things tend to be a lot easier when the universe aligns with your thoughts. what do you think about this?
the second thing i did was to be truthful to mself and address my strength and weaknesses. my weaknesses were indeed alot considering my journey. but i didnt stop there. i remedied the situation by cutting down on social media time, chatterings and sleep. anything at all that would not permit my weaknesses to flourish. and as for my strength, oh i ran with it so dearly much. i took every advantage of my strengths even if they were so little.
the last thing I did was occasionally take breaks. I never tried to kill myself in law school, literally.
surving law school is about having in mind that you are on a marathon race and not a sprint. whatever pace you chosse, just dont stop. keep moving.
i will be back to talk more on this when my results are finally out. until then, adios!
