Looking Towards February

-

Happy February, everyone!

Things finally feel like they're falling into place. Now that my second LSAT is over with, I get to begin the more fun parts of applying to law school: looking for apartments, finding roommates, meeting classmates, and, before I get too far ahead of myself, being accepted to law school and choosing where to attend.

Here's a quick recap of my goals for January:

  • Do yoga every single day of the month (check!)
  • Get at least a 160 on the LSAT (I'll find out on February 15!)
  • Find some freelance editing/writing jobs to earn extra money (check!)
  • Create a better self care routine and stick to it (check!)
  • Create more gratitude lists in my journal (not quite--focused more on yoga than journaling this month)
  • Finish all my applications for law school (check--just waiting for my second LSAT score and one more letter of recommendation)

February Goals

Like I mentioned above, life seems to be falling into place and into a steady rhythm. It's filled with lots of writing, lots of working, and, most unfortunately, lots of waiting. 

Here are my goals for February:
  • Get at least a 160 on the LSAT
  • Spend more time on organizing my planner each week
  • Socialize more (especially since the excuse of studying is out of the picture now!)
  • Reach 400 followers on Instagram
  • Increase my email newsletter list (P.S., you should subscribe!)
February Favorites

HARPER+LEE Coffee-Vanilla Body Scrub


In case you don't know already, I am OBSESSED with coffee. I'm one of those people whose day just doesn't feel right if I don't start it with a good ol' cup of joe. Therefore, I am in love with this coffee scrub. The coffee and vanilla scents combined smell ah-mazing and it's such an energizing way to end my morning showers.

"Peachy" Bath Bomb


One of my favorite ways to relax is sitting in a nice, warm bath, so, naturally, that was the way I spent part of the Friday before the January 2019 LSAT, along with a bath bomb. Peach is one of my favorite scents, so I was drawn to this one while perusing Lush the other day. It made skin smell so yummy and the bath water was filled with gorgeous shades of pink.

"Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment" Bath Oil


In addition to the "Peachy" bath bomb, I also used this awesome bath oil to add some extra oomph to my bath. It made my skin extra soft and it smelled so great mixed with the bath bomb I used.

Mailchimp


I recently began an email list and biweekly newsletter (wow, nice, my second self-promo in this blog), and Mailchimp is an amazing service to work with. It's simple to use and easy to put together emails that look great. 

What are your goals for February?

xoxo,

Rachel

How Law School Helped My Anxiety

-

When I first chose to go to law school, one of my biggest worries was how it would affect my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was in fifth grade, and it's been a journey to become comfortable with my mental health since then. I already knew that law school is tough on anybody who goes through it, so it's natural that adding depression and anxiety to the mix might make things a bit more difficult. I made sure I was prepared to deal with anything that might come up while figuring what law school is all about. Oddly enough, law school hasn't done anything crazy to my mental health. Obviously, there has been plenty of stress due to the long hours of studying and the long hours of figuring out what the heck res judicata is. But, I'm feeling really great mentally. I think it might have something to do with being so comfortable and happy in law school. There's something special about being surrounded by people who are going throug

Perfect Movies for Law Students

-

Amidst studying and stressing during law school, you should take some time to relax with your friends--so grab some drinks, curl up on your couch, make some popcorn, and enjoy these movies that'll give you a break from worrying about your own law school experience. Legally Blonde Is anyone shocked this is the first movie I'm recommending? This is an iconic movie full of hilarious quotes, and there's something special about watching an underdog rise to the top and succeed. The Paper Chase This is an Oscar-winning film about a 1L at Harvard attempting to balance his tough classes and his relationship with the daughter of his strictest professor. It showcases the Socratic method in a contract law class and it has me hoping I never have a professor who grills me as much as the students in this movie get grilled. Twelve Angry Men Even if you haven't see this movie, you've definitely watched references to this iconic movie. What starts out as an open-

TV Shows for Law Students

Of course, there's a lot of studying in law school, but sometimes you need a bit of a break. If you're looking for something new to binge watch but want to avoid the guilt of straying too far from anything law-related, check out some of my favorite law shows to watch. How to Get Away with Murder If you like drama and a badass female lawyer, check out How to Get Away with Murder . Although I'm sure my 1L year won't be as exciting as the students in this show, it's still worth the watch. I've only just began watching this show, but I'm already hooked.  The People v. OJ Simpson Not going to lie--I watched this all over the course of two afternoons. Oops. The entire cast is fantastic and it's awesome to see this story unfold with them. While growing up, I only knew of the basics of the OJ case, so it was interesting to learn about all the details.  The Staircase This Netflix original caught my attention because of its loo
