End of the Year Obsessions

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

Happy End of 2019!  I wanted to combine my obsessions of October, November, and December into a post looking back at my 2019 so I hope I can provide some great recommendations for you to look at in the new year of 2020!

I Passed The Bar Exam!

Bar Examination – “The examinations that law school graduates need to pass before being given the privilege to practice law in a state or federal court.”

-Black’s Law Dictionary

I am so excited to be able to write this post and announce that I have passed the Pennsylvania bar examination on the first try.  Today is also the one-month anniversary of my attorney admission day! 

Summer Obsessions Part 2

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

The second part of my summer obsessions post is finally here, I’m so sorry for taking so long to get this up.  This part covers what I loved of tv/movies, music, books, and other things that were released this summer.

Summer Obsessions Part 1

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

October is here so that means summer is officially over.  Because my summer consisted of all things graduation and the bar exam, I didn’t get my normal obsessions posts up when I had originally wanted to.  However, I decided to combine all of my favorites from May through September into two giant posts separated by topic so here is the first of the two that focuses on the Beauty, Fashion, and Food that I loved this summer.

FabFitFun Summer 2019 Box

Summer — “The season between spring and autumn comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of June, July, and August or as reckoned astronomically extending from the June solstice to the September equinox.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

I’m back!  Did you miss me?  I was totally swamped with the end of law school and the bar exam so I didn’t have time for blogging.  I did receive my summer FabFitFun box that I enjoyed during the past few months so I have a pretty good review on all of the products in the summer box.  And you’re probably also wondering where my review of the spring box was but I ended up not doing a review because I wasn’t too thrilled about the box and my classes kinda took over.

I Graduated Law School!

Graduation – “Award or acceptance of an academic degree or diploma.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

Holy moly, I cannot believe I am officially a law school graduate! 

March/April Obsessions

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

The end of the semester has come and gone and I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone.  My law school classes, internship, and volunteer commitments really consumed most of my time this semester, but I still had some time in the past few months to find some really great things I want to share with you.  Read on to find out what they are!

Disney World 2018 Christmas Vacation

Travel — “to go on or as if on a trip or tour.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

I got back from my Christmas trip well over three months ago so this post is uber late, but I thought I would post it anyway in case you’re ever thinking about going to Disney around Christmastime.  I really enjoyed this trip so that also influenced my decision to post this to share the joy of the trip.  This was my first time going to Disney World around Christmas, and I have to say this is probably my new favorite time to go to Disney.  I don’t think I’ll ever forget this trip because it was so amazing!

January and February Obsessions

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

I have been the absolute worst blogger this semester, and part of the reason why is because I’ve been sick since before Christmas.  So firstly, I’d like to apologize for not posting consistently this semester.  And I thought I would share some of my favorite things from the past two months in a joint January/February Obsessions post.

3L Spring Class Overview

Overview — “A general review or summary of a subject.”

-Oxford English Dictionary

Now that I’m starting week 5 of classes, I wanted to share what classes I’m taking for my last semester of school!  Unfortunately because of the credit requirements to be a full-time student and how many credits each of the classes I’m taking are, I’m taking six classes this semester. 

FabFitFun Winter 2018 Box

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

It’s crazy to even think anyone is preparing for spring since it’s been snowing and freezing where I live for the past few weeks.  But FabFitFun is taking a cue from Punxsutawney Phil about spring happening sooner than later because Spring Add-Ons and Customization happen this week for FFF!  So, in case you’re considering whether it is worth it to subscribe, I’ve reviewed my Winter 2018 FabFitFun box.  And if you don’t know 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.  And even better, if you read until the end, I have a code for you to use to get $10 off a box!  Okay, so enough of the intro stuff, keep reading for my review of the items in the Winter 2018 box.

New Semester Preparation

New - “beginning as the resumption or repetition of a previous act or thing.”

-      Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

I just finished the second week of my last semester of law school.  Since I’ve done the beginning of the semester routine for law school six times already, I thought I’d share my process for getting ready for a new semester.  If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of assignments and mid-terms you have this semester, read on to find out how I get prepared for an upcoming semester.

December Obsessions

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

-Oxford’s English Dictionary

Happy New Year!  Before we get too far into 2019, I wanted to share what caught my eye during the last month of 2018.  Between finals, vacation, and the holidays, this month went by so quickly that I’m surprised that I could find things to talk about!
