Emergency Care Package – a gift from a third year survivor

I wanted to share with you the contents of my Emergency Care Package. The box contains items an Archaeology and Ancient History master’s student, and dear friend of mine, deemed to be the essential arsenal for tackling your final year as a law student.

The Emergency Care Package

The box contained four numbered packages and a note:

I did as the note requested and found the following instructions inside:

The note explained that I needed to open the parcels in numerical order. This is what I discovered inside with the following explanations:

1. Something to help lift your spirits when you’re all lawyered out:

My glamorous vegan assistant with whom my chocolate is safe 😉

2. Something to give you a boost in order to power through the late night essay sessions:

My favourite coffee 🙂

3. Something to help you escape from the world for a few minutes (or hours).

Fire by Kristin Cashore: I loved her book ‘Graceling’ and can’t wait to start reading this 🙂

4. Something so that you don’t have to work alone:

A Pop! figure of Dancing Groot from the film Guardians of the Galaxy to sit on my desk

In true lawyer fashion the Emergency Care package carries a disclaimer which reads:

*DISCLAIMER: This Emergency Care Package is absolutely useless in an actual emergency

Good to know 😉

Finally, the instructions end with a carefully crafted customer service message:

“We hope that your Emergency Care Package is to your satisfaction. If you have any complaints, please don’t hesitate to keep them to yourself.”

So there you have it! These are the items a seasoned professional at living with a law student has recommended as integral to surviving your third year of Uni.
