Handling burnout as a NonTraditonal law student

It happens to everyone. The nonstop cycle of law school can lead to burnout but you don't have a lot of time to take a break. Today I talk about some things I do to help myself stay focused to the finish line!
As always, comments and questions are welcomed. #lawschool #lawstudent #nontraditional #study #lsat #burnout #mentalhealth #spiritualhealth

God will be with you Vanessa when you take that BAR. The size of a mustard seed is all the faith we need so when you know you are operating in much more than that you know GOD GOT IT!

This is really encouraging. Thank you! I'm 40. Taking the LSAT in January. Hoping to start law school Fall 2024🙏🏾

[@vanessamaxlaw]

you can do it!

[@elderlaw9148]

I'm with you!! Good Luck! I'm 44 starting in the fall of 2024. LSAT was not what I expected.

[@vanessamaxlaw]

true.. the LSAT is less about understanding the law and more about your ability to reason and find issues and facts, which is what you do in law school. @@elderlaw9148

Hello, This YT is ministry to me and I thank you. Your transparency and honesty is such a blessing. I am 66, a Christian woman who has never been married and has no children. I relate to how your classmates listen to you. Have been studying full time for the LSAT from February 2020 through September 2023. The September LSAT administration was a fiasco. Ran into barriers talking with LSAC customer care so sent a letter and corresponding documents to the president of LSAC and chief diversity person. I plan to take the test again in April. Burn out is real! Talked to the Lord and asked Him to help me gear up to study for the LSAT one last time. This will be my fifth time. I agree 100% that spiritual help if one is a Christian is vital! Keeping you in prayer and so thankful for the time you take to share with us. I am encouraged and excited for you! Enjoy a fruitful week. Ms. Pat

Hello - a Harvard grad has recommended "the powerscore bible trilogy" to score high in the LSAT.

Hi Vanessa, can you talk a little bit about how you decided which law school to go to and what finding a law school to go to with a low undergrad gpa from years ago.

[@vanessamaxlaw]

I'm adding this to my list of questions to answer. Thanks for your input and for following along. (The short answer is I knew I wanted to go to a school near where I lived so I had 3 options in Houston.)

[@carrieannkouri2151]

Is there an online LSAT prep course you'd recommend? My score on the first time wasn't that great.

[@vanessamaxlaw]

I just used the free khan academy

[@kelliegreen857]
