Finals Study Plan

Examination — “An exercise designed to examine progress or knowledge.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

 

With finals quickly approaching, (my first one is Friday!) I thought I’d share with you about how I prepare for my own finals.  This might be a shorter post since I’m knee deep in outlines, textbooks, and supplements to study for my finals. 

FabFitFun Spring 2017 Box

Review — “A critical evaluation.”

-Merriam Webster’s Dictionary

Yay, it’s that time again for another FabFitFun review!  Last time, I reviewed the Editor’s Box, which was the box for in between the Winter and Spring boxes, so this is the first seasonal box I received.  After opening my first box, I fell in love with FabFitFun and decided to become an annual member.  What exactly does that mean, you ask?  In exchange for purchasing a full year subscription upfront, you get a $20 discount (only $179 for the year instead of $49.99 a quarter), priority shipping, early access to Add-Ons, and, the best part, you get to pick the color or scent of two different items in your box!  In addition to these perks, all members now have the opportunity to use the Choice option, which allows members to pick between two items.  FFF tells you the brand and the item, but doesn’t give you a picture of the item, which is nice because you get to pick your preference but you still get some surprise of the item.  So let’s get into my review!

Outlines, Outlines, Outlines

Outline—“A list of the key items in a document or plan, presented in the order they appear in the main document, or in some other logical sequence."

-Black’s Law Dictionary

Less than one month and I can officially say that I’m a third of the way done with law school.  What???  I honestly cannot believe how fast my first year went and how soon I will actually be a lawyer.  But with the end of the semester comes the dreaded end of semester finals.  And with finals comes writing outlines, memorizing outlines, working on practice problems, etc.  As I said in my post here on my review of last semester, I only started my outlines during reading week, which was definitely not the best study plan.  This semester, I definitely started on them earlier, but not as early as I resolved to do so earlier this year. 

A How-To Guide to Law School Classes

Class—“The period during which a body of students meeting regularly to study the same subject meets.”

So you’re probably wondering what makes me take forever to post a new blog post on here.  Sometimes the day-to-day of school, plus the extras of trying to find a summer internship and writing my legal writing motion, have me so crazy by the end of the week that all I want to do is sleep and that’s pretty much how spring break went too!  But, now I’m back and hopefully, once my motion is turned in on Monday, I can have more time to devoting to my blog (comment below on what you’d like me to write about next!).  Since my daily class preparation has been consuming my life, I’ve decided to let you in on how I get ready for class and how I make the most of my actual class time.
