law school vlog | A week in the life of a first year law student | UP Law

Hi everyoneee! I’m Chinzen Viernes, 21 years old, representing the green city of Pasig 💫!!! chz 🤣
Henlooo, I graduated from UP Diliman with a degree in Psychology and I’m now taking up law as a first year student at UP College of Law ⚖️

Same thoughts as to “readings na hindi nauubos pero limited ang time and energy” from first week of law school until today na I am reviewing for the bar. Pero laban lang! 💪🏻 BS Psych din ang pre-law ko. ❤️

[@chinzenviernes]

OMG! Good luck sa bar!! Huhu goalz 💯💯 thank you for watching!!

[@miriamjaning4278]

Law school will literally drain you to the core and push you to your limits. Di mo pwedeng bolahin profs mo kasi lahat may legal basis ang mga sagot. So you need to read. Wala kang bala pag di ka nakapagbasa during recits, quizzes and exams. Wala kang magagawa but to read codals, books and cases. It's frustrating minsan dahil binasa mo naman pero di mo naintindihan or nabasa mo naman ang cases pero di mo natandaan because of pressure or sometimes, natawag ka sa case na di mo nabasa. Yes, nag break down din ako sa isa kong class, not because of the subject pero dahil sa pressure sa work plus final's week na rin yon. My advice is take it slow but enjoy the ride kasi nasa adjustment period ka palang. Dont push yourself too much para you won't feel burned out agad. Study hard but study smart. Focus on those topics na palaging tinatanong ng prof during recits. Bago mag midterm and finals, read past bar exams q and a kasi majority ng profs, dun sila kumukuha ng tanong (more or less 2 to 4 items per exam). No man is an island dito sa law school. Lahat nagtutulungan para makapasa lahat. Hope this helps. *Incoming third year working law school student here.

[@chinzenviernes]

The last year is review year in preparation for the bar.
