Spring Obsessions

Obsession — “An idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind.”

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

 

Honestly, I can’t believe it’s July and time to review my spring obsessions.  It really feels like spring just started and not that it ended around a week ago.  Anyone else feel like it should be April instead of July??  During quarantine, I really embraced the comfy life as I settled in to working from home and got to enjoy some more down time as the courthouse where I work was only really processing emergency cases for much of April and May.  So here’s what items I loved during the past few months and maybe they’ll inspire you to try them out as well!

 

Barbri Bar Prep Review

Review — “Renewed study of material previously studied.”

-Merriam-Webster Dictionary

This is a crazy time to be taking the bar exam, and I’m wishing everyone who has to prepare/sit for the bar in 2020 the best as they tackle this last hurdle on the journey to become a lawyer.  I honestly can’t believe it’s been one year since I was studying for the bar exam, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the Barbri prep class and some tips I found helpful in learning material and prepping for the bar.  A lot of my tips don’t just apply to Barbri either!  Disclaimer:  I’m not getting paid for writing this review, but I did receive a free Barbri course in exchange for being a rep all three years of law school.  That being said, this review includes my unbiased opinions on the course and no one told me what to write in this review.

Movies to Watch During Quarantine

Movie — “A recording of moving images that tells a story and that people watch on a screen or television.”

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

It seems like it’s been years since quarantine started and I’m honestly losing brain cells because I haven’t been a real person in so long.  The one thing that I’ve been enjoying during quarantine is my parents’ and my Movie of the Night selections.  So every couple days, either my dad, my mom, or I pick a movie to watch that night.  Some are movies that I’ve seen plenty of times and others were first timers for us.  We’ve watched so many different movies and some have not been so great.  But there have been some that we all have enjoyed and I’ve complied the list here!  If you’re  running out of ideas of what movies to watch during quarantine or want something fun to break up your bar exam studying, check out my list below!

FabFitFun Fall & Winter 2019 Box

Fall — “The season between spring and autumn comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of September, October, and November or as reckoned astronomically extending from the September solstice to the December equinox.”

Winter — “The season between autumn and spring comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of December, January, and February or as reckoned astronomically extending from the December solstice to the March equinox.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

If you’ve been wondering where my review for the Fall and Winter FabFitFun boxes were, here they are!  I’ve been super terrible about keeping thetm up over the past few months and I think that’s the result of my boredom with being a FabFitFun subscriber.  So after three years of receiving boxes, I’ve officially cancelled my subscription.  It’s mainly because I’ve received so many products from the thirteen boxes I’ve gotten as a subscriber.  But that doesn’t mean it may not be the box for you to try out!  If you haven’t heard anything about FabFitFun, it’s a quarterly subscription box that has between 8-10 full size products in each box for only $49.99 a quarter.  Annual subscribers can start to customize their Summer 2020 box starting today, and FFF has released spoilers for all of the box customizations on their Instagram (hint hint: one is something from Reese Witherspoon’s brand).
