Preparing For My Third Year of Law Degree

 My first class will be on 12th October 2020, 8AM!

This would be our second online semester due to this pandemic. [Stay at home, be safe and let's flatten the curve so we can have physical classes, yeah?]

For the first semester, I swear it was so difficult. I cried almost every single day including weekends. The reason was not because of how hard the subjects were but because I felt suffocated. When I have online classes, I'll usually be at home. It was crazy how I felt like I have classes 24/7, which is quite true. Having the lecturers sending assignments at the middle of the night or sending lecture notes during weekends gave me anxiety. 

So, it's always safe to plan well. Keeping track of academics, curriculum activities and some side things to keep sane.

Have your planner ready or have that digital sticky note on your laptop. It really helps me a lot. It feels like I can finally breathe again when I see I have few free days to actually get the work done before the deadline. [If you love to procrastinate, set a day as your carefree day or me time]

For online classes, I love Google Drive so much right now. I literally put everything there. I would set up a folder of every subjects and will upload my notes, lecture slides, tutorials etc. I would also also do my assignment there and share it my groupmates if any. Super convenient! Don't forget to lend a hand to others especially they ask for help. To me, the more things you share especially knowledge, the more you get. 

Example : 

Don't forget to have your social time. It's best to have friends along the way too. A text or a call would be nice. This is so weird but I love getting calls or texts friends at random times. The hello that you never expect. Warmth. That's the word that can describe the feeling. 

When I say social time, it's not the time you spend on your social media scrolling through other people's pictures, tiktok videos or tweets. Have a time where you actually connect with people. Have a catching up session, really getting to know what they have been doing etc. 

Good luck everyone, start gather your notes and books now! <3
