Hello lovelies!
It is a little bit past mid-year now and I have
completed all my assignments in time with only one more to go and then it’s
just focusing on three exams of Contract, Criminal and Constitutional. Now my
track history has not looked too good regarding examinations, however with
exactly 6 weeks to go before my exams my revision has to be perfect!
I am going to talk to you guys about how I feel my
year has gone so far, my next post will be on things I have learnt during my
first year. And after that I will discuss revision techniques and how to
prepare for exams so have a look at that if you need any help.
I have loved my first year at university. I have
met so many new people and done things that's out of my comfort zone and I have
gone out a lot more!
Law:
- I found the course as hard as I expected first
year to be. Students that study law or are about to hear it all the time “Laws challenging...It’s very
difficult..." And comparing it to other courses, it is much more
difficult and required more time and effort but that to be expected when doing law.
I know that second and third year will be much more challenging. So, I feel
that the level of difficulty was proportionate to what I was expecting in first
year.
Living
in Halls:
-If you are going to go to university, live in
halls. Do it. I have learnt so much more living in halls in the past year. I
was in an all-girls flat, which has its benefits and disadvantages, for
example: we never have to be self-conscious about appearances and looks between
each other (not that you should be!)
- A further benefit would be that girls are a bit
quieter than boys which even though I know this is rather stereotypical Is true
in this sense. However, a disproven stereotype about girls which I have found
out is that girls are not clean and neat!!
Not all my flatmates were messy but the ones that where…. My god…okay I may be
overreacting. I’m not saying that they lived in a complete hoarder house, but
they were not far off.
- Also on
that point, sharing a kitchen with 6 other girls is such a mess, especially when
they don’t bother cleaning ‘hard’ stuff like the oven or microwave after using
it. Everyone wants to do the easy work like hoovering but you rarely see anyone
scrub anything…one of my flatmates didn’t even use soap to wash her dishes!
Life experience:
-
Why
is washing clothes such a chore? I was often too lazy to waste £10 on washing (whites
and colours and then using the dryer) so I would just go out and buy clothes,
which also was my excuse for buying clothes! Haha
-
My
cooking skills have been amazing! Not to brag but this year I have been eating
so healthily, my main ingredients have been asparagus, chicken and bell
peppers. I never get anything frozen (partly because I don’t like defrosting).
I copy simple recipes from the ‘Tasty’ page on Facebook. I will do a post on my
favourite recipes for you to try especially if you’re tired after a lecture and
just want to cook something quickly.
My next post will be on things I have
learnt in my first year!
Love,
A Law Student! Xx
