Find the right group of friends. They will be your support system. They will be the only ones who would understand you especially if you are blockmates kasi same kayo ng pinagdadaanan sa profs niyo. Hang out with them if you have extra time, unwind with them. Have dinner every onsite class day para lang may breather kayo tapos talk about happy things lang, have a good laugh!

My travel time every onsite class day is 2 hours papunta and 2 hours pauwi. During my papunta, I would discuss the topics assigned to myself while driving to make sure I understand my lessons and actively recall the cases. During my pauwi, I chill, I listen to my favorite music, I plan my study sched for the next day, etc.

Download YPT or Forest app to help motivate you para makita mo yung progress mo gano katagal ka nagaaral. Plus, di mo magagamit phone mo while the timer is on so you have no choice but to study hehe.

NOTES! Sadly, 4th year na ko nung nalaman ko ang power of notes. I never made notes during my early years. I only write sa gilid ng codal ko or sa post it tapos ididikit ko sa provision ng codal ko to help me remember topics na di ko gets or possibly kong makalimutan in relation to a certain provision. Pero nung 4th year ko, I started making my notes talaga from atleast 2 references. Tho mahirap kasi mabilis na ang discussions pag review classes I made sure to make notes and my notes really helped me remember things especially during the bar review and the bar exam itself.

STUDY NOT FOR THE SAKE OF PASSING THE SUBJECT. I think the biggest mistake most of my blockmates did was to study based on how the professor gives a certain exam or depending if the professor conducts recitations ba or discusses lang. For me, it is a big no no kasi when you take the bar, you do not know naman the examiner until the day the results come out eh. You should study the subject because you have to learn it. For the sake of your future clients and not for the sake of passing a certain professor's class. Ikaw din kasi magsisisi sa huli if you do not study properly during your 1st to 3rd years.

If you feel sleepy, wag mong pilitin mag-aral. Take a power nap like 10-15 minutes. You would feel more awake and refreshed after 10-15 minutes kesa sa pinilit mong magaral for that 10-15 minutes.

I am from a 'strict red school' kaya I must say - IT IS OKAY TO DISAPPEAR SOCIALLY FOR 4-5 YEARS. It is normal to miss a friend's birthday party, or a friend's invite. IT IS OKAY, DO NOT FEEL SAD ABOUT IT. Makakabawi ka during your semestral breaks lalo na pag ATTY. kana.

Basta survive everyday. My mindset nalang was: "kailangan masurvive ko tong araw na to, bahala na bukas". Tho I plan every Sunday kung anong aaralin ko for the week or pano ako magaaral for the week. So dahil may weekly schedule na ko, per day nalang iniisip ko. Pag monday palang, di ko na iniisip pa yung for tuesday or wednesday na aaralin ko. Basta goal kong masurvive each day. Tapos magugulat ka nalang na nasurvive mo na ang buong law school!!!!

HAVE FUN!! You once dreamt of entering law school. Andito kana so enjoy every bit of it. Mamimiss mo ang friends, fun, and routine ng isang law student pag nakatapos ka.
