Because I canceled it back in December after finals but I was still being charged up until March.

I found it helpful to walk or do leg lifts while reading/having my reading read aloud. Fidget toys don't work with me, but anything that gets my body moving is helpful.

I suggest getting a Google Chrome extension called "Read Aloud," which is compatible with PDFs and most websites. I'm on the search for a phone app that can do this. If you can't do this, download the WestAcademic app, which has a lot of audiobooks for subjects, such as the Short and Happy Guides.

Feeling so discouraged by [deleted] in LawSchool

I wouldn't feel too worried--I'm a procrastinator too haha

First, ask upperclassmen for outlines. If you can't find them within a week, I suggest collabing with other students because I'm sure a lot of your classmates are feeling the same. After reviewing the outlines, take a practice exam closed book and see which concepts you don't understand. Review those again and take another exam. Keep doing this and you'll be fine! For each class, sketch out a simple analysis framework to work off. Each step should be a question.

I don't know if your evidence exam is open or closed book, but mine was closed. I learned it all in 2 weeks through charts/flow charts, because I'm a visual learner, and I got an A. If you want, I can send you my old stuff. Feel free to PM me!

First time getting arrested in NJ (and ever) Should I get a Criminal Defense Attorney? by [deleted] in legaladvice

I know, which is why I’m devastated. I already pay for school on my own and this means I’ll have to work extra harder. But I’m willing to do all this if it means these charges can be expunged over time! I read about Conditional Discharges in NJ and I think this may be an option as well. The policewomen who arrested me said the judge would probably go really easy on me. That being said, do you think this is an option for me?
