How I keep organised, revisited
Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about my complex system of organisation and how I manage my time. Well, almost a year later, the system is no longer overly complex, as it’s been stripped down to the bare necessities, so I wanted to revisit it. Digital calendar The first thing I […]
Learn from me and don’t take the easy way out
As many of my friends are aware, I ‘have a degree in Music’ from the Canadian university I attended before coming to Leicester. We’ll get to that. In law, we get the rare treat of being able to selectively revise for our exams. Naturally, it’s not recommended, but it’s the most strategic way […]
You’re you, not them
One thing I advocate a lot is the fact that we should not compare ourselves to others. This is a particularly pertinent issue during exam time when everyone is working towards the same deadlines. If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that every person is different. Me, personally? I hate working during the day. […]
Don’t give up!
It’s the last week of revision, before exams start, so everyone is in panic mode. But, have no fear – I’m here to help! Thought of the day: take good care of yourself and revision will fall into place. All you have to do is suffer through these next few weeks, and then summer officially […]
Being mindful in how we use language
So, today’s blog post is simultaneously a PSA and a personal vendetta against people who don’t use Oxford commas… Just kidding! This week, I wanted to write about our use of language. I never truly understood just how much of an impact words can have, written or spoken, until I started studying law. I suddenly found […]
Sunshine, Rainbows and Everything Wonderful
University is stressful – especially at this time of year with assessed essays and exams looming. What annoys me to no end is everyone moaning, comparing knowledge for no reason other than to make themselves feel better – leaving others feeling worse, and people sharing an endless supply of dismal posts about not doing […]
Revision tips, Pt. II
This is part 2 of Mama Lucie’s revision tips! Let’s just get on with it! IN THE EXAM I listen to music on my way to the exam and don’t chat to anyone before the exam, because when people cram right before going in, it terrifies me into thinking that I haven’t learned everything. […]
Revision tips, Pt. I

Challenge accepted!
Back in November, I wrote a blog post about being overwhelmed by uni. Well, guess what? It’s that time of year again! It’s nearing the end of term, and not only are deadlines being thrown at you, but big events are happening: namely, the Law Review Launch Event and mooting finals. On top of that, revision […]
The Puzzle of Motivation
Motivation is pretty difficult to hold on to; it slips through your fingers like sand. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘motivation’ as the ‘desire or willingness to do something; enthusiasm’. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? It’s more than just simply having a desire or willingness and being enthusiastic about something; you truly have to have […]
