Looking Towards April

-

Okay, how is it already April?

2019 sure feels like it's flying by--this is my fourth monthly post that I'm writing already for this year alone. How crazy!

April means a lot for me, especially this year. The first seat deposits for the University of Denver and the University of Miami are due during the second week of April (oh boy), and I'm expecting to hear back from the rest of the schools I applied to sometime this month.

March was a good month for me, especially based on the goals I set in my March blog post. Here's a recap of those goals:

  • Reach 500 followers on Instagram (check!)
  • Hear back from at least three law schools (check!)
  • Focus on self care (check!)
  • Diversify my social media content, especially on Pinterest and Instagram (check!)

April Goals

  • Reach 600 followers on Instagram
  • Reach 150 followers on Pinterest
  • Work ahead on all blog posts and graphics
  • Hear back on the rest of my applications
  • Make an official decision for law school
  • Reach 15 email subscribers

April Favorites

Gold leaf hoops


I have been wearing these nonstop to work. They're the perfect accessory to add to any outfit, whether I'm dressing up to host or in my serving uniform. You can find these at Dry Goods. 

Blue dress


This is a gem I found in the sale section of Dry Goods. I fell in love with the versatility of the dress, because I can layer basically any colored shirt underneath it. 

"Sleepy" Shower Bomb


Another monthly post, another Lush haul from me. I've always been obsessed with Lush's bath bombs, so I thought I'd give one of their shower bombs a try. I loved it and definitely recommend it to anybody who loves Lush products and wants to try something new. 

"The Big Sleep" Jelly Bomb


Like I mentioned above, I originally fell in love with Lush due to their amazing bath bombs. While shopping the other day, one of the Lush employees demoed a jelly bomb to me. When it dissolves in the tub, it has a thicker consistency than regular bath bombs. It left my skin so soft, I'll definitely be checking out their other jelly bombs. 

What are your goals for April?

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
