A Week in Outfits: Online Law School

-

Time to state the obvious: online law school is different than in-person law school. I know, I just blew your mind. 

All jokes aside, getting ready for an online class is so different from getting ready for an in-person class. I'm definitely more prone to wearing makeup for an in-person class than I am for an online class, and the clothes I wear definitely change, too. As much as I try to dress in the same way at home as I would for an in-person class, sometimes I just want to throw on a pair of sweatpants and a nice sweater to make it look like I'm dressed up on camera. 

This semester, I have two hybrid classes and two completely online classes, so make sure to look below to see what I wore last week to school for some outfit inspo! 

Monday, February 1


I'm lucky enough to not have any classes on Mondays, so my actual week doesn't start until Tuesday. I'm also not externing anywhere this semester, so I spent the day focusing on my readings for the week. I also spent some time working on things for my student organizations. 

Tuesday, February 2


Today is my busiest day of the week with four classes: Criminal Procedure, Advanced Legal Writing, Legal Profession, and Evidence Practicum. Phew. Basically, I'll be in class from 9 AM to 8:30 PM, with some breaks in between. Because all my classes are online on Tuesdays, I don't dress up as much, but I do put a little effort in so I feel like I'm actually in class. 

Wednesday, February 3


Another day without any classes, which means that I'll be reading for tomorrow's classes and getting more work done for my student organizations. I like to be comfy when I'm curled up in my chair reading, and these overalls are definitely the perfect way to be both cute and comfortable! 

Thursday, February 4


Last day of classes, woohoo! Today, I only have three classes (Evidence Practicum is only once a week), and I get to go to campus for all three classes today. Even though Advanced Legal Writing is completely online, it ends fifteen minutes before Legal Profession begins, so I just reserve a study room so I don't have to rush between classes. I like to get dressed up on Thursdays since I am spending most of my day in public and I'm always looking for an excuse to do more than put on some leggings. 

Friday, February 5


Fridays are definitely my "lazy" days when it comes to getting dressed. I usually have only one meeting, so I get most of my Friday to myself to study, work, and clean. Sometimes, if I'm feeling crazy, I'll even relax and take some time for myself. 

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
