How are my fellow 1L’s!? Drowning, staying afloat, what’s going on 😂

[@BrittBrittistheish]

You got it! The reading is never ending but talk to the 3Ls early!! Get the plug on all the little tips on classes, and study tips.

[@LeahsLegalLife]

Yes definitely!! everyone is always so willing to help, it’s so nice because people scare you by saying law school is all about competition lol 😂

[@BrittBrittistheish]

@@LeahsLegalLife right! All lies! There are people who want to see us win who are right there with us, I love that. You got this! I’m so excited for you! Keep pushing 💕

[@LeahsLegalLife]

@@BrittBrittistheish thank you! & good luck this semester! ⚖️

Hey! Fellow 1L here. Congratulations! I’m going into my third week and I’ve kinda got a rhythm going now lol. The first day I wanted to drop out but we’re here! A tip that has been working for me is splitting my readings. So for example, if it’s 20 pages due Wednesday, I do 10 on Mon, the other 10 on Tuesday. Same for other classes so it gives me my mind a break from reading so much. Remember that it does get easier and you will be able to starting foot along the year. You got this!💕

[@LeahsLegalLife]

Not drop out!!! We need you! Lmao. but congratulations to you as well! I definitely feel myself getting into a rhythm but my friend told me as soon as legal writing assignments begin that rhythm will be thrown off 😂 so I’m mentally preparing now lol but that’s a great way to do your readings! I think I’ll start that plus changing my environment a little more. Thank you for the tip & GOOD LUCK this semester! 💗

[@jasminebolden1481]

@@LeahsLegalLife Our Legal writing hasn’t started neither so we’re in the same boat. But definitely change your environment. After every class, I go outside lol just to clear my mind. Good luck on your semester as well!💕

[@OKshesagail]

“And I’m going to be choosing the option to nott do them..” lmao I choked on my coffee. Love how balanced you are with being productive and professional but still real and silly, I’m applying this cycle and have been loving your videos👏🏼 Thanks for sharing your journey! I’m currently an inner city special education teacher but have decided to apply to law school to fix some of the many disparities in education that I just can’t control as a teacher. Best of luck on your 1L year!

[@LeahsLegalLife]

this is such a sweet message!! thank you 💜 and best of luck this upcoming cycle, you’re going to do great! we definitely need more lawyers doing that kind of work 🥺 i’m so excited for you!

[@janetics.]

My first week of law school was long and ghetto but I know in due time everything will pay off. Try to take breaks and change your environment as much as you can. Idk about you but I can’t sit in the same spot reading for 9 hours straight 😅💀 You got this sister! ⚖️

[@LeahsLegalLife]

long and ghetto…that’s accurate 😂 and I’m the same way, sitting in one area too long just reading these cases starts to feel like torture lol! but I’m so excited for you Janet!!! let’s goooo 🎉🎉

"...we be having fun over here!" (Emits lonely, distressed laugh that echos throughout the desolate apartment until the echo dies) Yep, she's a law student.

[@lisawinckelmans5678]

Hiii, I'm so happy to find another law student on youtube! the schedule is something else! I would say don't do all the readings 😅 you will definitely figure out what you should and shouldn't pay attention to in time. And I want fried rice too now 😂

[@LeahsLegalLife]

just subscribed to you! 🥳 & yes a lot of 2L’s and 3L’s told me you eventually figure out what reading to prioritize, what cases to brief, all of that! lol. but right now it’s definitely a huge learning curve!

[@lisawinckelmans5678]

@@LeahsLegalLife Thank you so much 💕 You’ll definitely figure it out!

Loved this vlog

[@marcelo.2734]

Bom dia, Leah! I have all respect for people like yourself that go to law school to become a lawyer - but I could not handle the long hours of reading because it would make me go crazy or drink more. I like you old videos because they show your progression from being very conservative to like get the “f” out of my way - I know my “s” now. Do you like to study while listening to music or do you prefer the peace and quiet? Paz!!!!

[@LeahsLegalLife]

hahah i'm definitely more comfortable in front of the camera now!! I notice it too in my videos 😂but it really depends on the class! for some, I prefer to study in silence but for others, I watch TV, listen to music.. all kinds of stuff while I'm studying! lol

[@Maui_Gyrl_]

You are really pretty! Where did you go for undergrad? And what did you major in in undergrad?

[@LeahsLegalLife]

Thank you!!! 💖 I went to UC Santa Barbara and I majored in Sociology

[@ijusdomee9377]

Are you working while in school?

[@LeahsLegalLife]

No, I’m not! A lot of law schools even have a policy that you cannot work your first year

[@mikaylajoiii]

OMG WHERE FID U GET THAT MUG!!!

[@LeahsLegalLife]

It’s from Kameron Monet’s website! A fellow legal KZbinr!! lol. But I’m not sure if she’s still selling them!

[@CazmireRepublicllc]

[@LeahsLegalLife]

I would recommend 7sage or the Powerscore books 📚
