7 Tips on Surviving Finals

November 19, 2018 - Nikki Quintana

Can you feel the excitement in the air? It’s that time of year again and not the one with

the big tree and Santa. It’s FINALS!

 

We are entering the final countdown of our first semester. Reflecting on this, I began

to think about my goals going into the next two weeks and something helpful I could write for

this week so I thought I would do a countdown; here are the seven ways I recommend keeping

your sanity throughout finals.

 

1. Sleep, Somehow.

Ah, Failure…My Old Friend

November 9, 2018 - Nikki Quintana

I remember getting into Law School and being so proud of myself. It was the culmination of years of work toward an unknown goal and months of internal struggle to achieve a known goal. I would remind myself (in the moment) that I should enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and pride because sooner or later the reality of the situation would set in and that old familiar feeling of failure would rear its ugly head.

I always thought it was cliche when my friends would tell me, “three years will go by so fast and you won’t even know it.” I didn’t believe it - how could three years of something dreary like LAW SCHOOL pass by so quickly? Well, they did and I’m a semester away from graduation. Law school hasn’t exactly been what I carved it out to be. I thought it was going to be much more cut-throat, my colleagues would be competitive, and my professors would be mundane.

And yet, despite the fact that there’s not likely going to be anything that will sink my semester tomorrow, I’m still nervous. What gives?

Joy in an Unknown Future

Hello again – fellow lovers of the law! As a glorious summer ends, my classmates and I have flocked back from our adventures and once again gathered here for what we love most… learning! I’ve survived the first 8 days of my 3L year, and have got to say that I am happy to once again be surrounded by such intelligent, creative, and imaginative people.

            And we’re back! Ok, technically we’re not back yet, as school doesn’t start until Monday. And technically I don’t know who “we” includes. For all I know, I’m the only one from my class willing to subject myself to more of this law school thing. So really the only word we know for sure from that first sentence is “And”, which wasn’t even used correctly! Am I starting to sound like a lawyer yet? Good!!!
