This time of year is the busiest. Apart from the holiday spirit, law students are currently writing high-stake final exams. For most of my courses at law school, my exams are worth 100% of my final grade. I made a TikTok to share how I am currently preparing for my Taxation Law exam. In addition to this video, I would highly recommend forming study groups with people in your classes! It's always nice to discuss tax policies with my peers, I know I can count on a few people in my class. Contact your professor for office hours for questions that you have. Do practice problems/ practice exams as well - since law exams are generally about applying principles, statutes and case law. Getting into these habits will help structure your studying! Good luck everyone! Group work is meant to prepare you for "the real world." With people going back-to-the-office, it was only a matter of time until I would need to return to campus. Did I imagine that being 20 months since I last stepped foot on campus? Perhaps. But what I didn't think would happen would be that I would be going to campus on a Sunday afternoon to meet with my group to discuss our next steps. All this to say, that not every Sunday is like this, but there have been more than one in this semester alone to get the team together across a table to figure out what course of action to take next in our Capstone project for the MBA. In order to enjoy reading week, I went on a short trip across the country to Vancouver with two of my law school besties. When planning this trip, we made sure to come back in time giving us the opportunity to using reading week to READ! However, this reading actually began on the flight back home to make sure that we were setting the right habits. This just goes to show that you can work hard and play hard! It all comes down to effective time management. Starting the TikTok series at Legally Brown with a Day in the Life video! I summarized my busiest day of the week this semester, Thursdays. Mind you, when I first found out that I had 8 hours of lectures (two at Osgoode and 1 at Schulich), 3 hours of work I was a little bit worried on how to optimize my day since it is easier to lose sight of what is important when you're in virtual school. But within the first three weeks, I was able to figure out a way to prioritize and gauge what I absolutely need to fulfill on Thursdays. To be adaptive, we are rolling out our TikToks! TikTok allows for people, such as myself, who are audio-visual learner to absorb information in a "fun" way.
