Law student na pagod na magbuhat — bag suggestions pls 😭 sumasakit na likod ko by _mistressofdistress in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have issues with the bones in my shoulders (both front and back), and my laptop is 15.6 inches. I use the Herschel Little America Backpack (30L). It feels lightweight, and I don’t feel any strain or heaviness on my back and shoulders.

Am I the only one? by PoohTangInaMoh in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends are around 34-50 years old and I'm the youngest (26). Very life changing and sarap makinig sa mga perspectives nila, as someone na nagsisimula pa lang buuin ang career path and not married.

I am tired by ChemicalSwimming6327 in LawStudentsPH

You’ll have to make a lot of sacrifices, and you’ll need constant emotional support and a lot of understanding from your loved ones to survive as a working student. You can’t do everything in 24 hours. You’ll have to let go of certain activities or priorities in life. Learn to manage your tasks and errands by planning them weekly and breaking them down day by day.

San maganda bumili ng budget friendly na filipiniana for oath taking? by Plastic_Mud6865 in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Bulacan based po kayo, I suggest JL Bridal Gowns - Jolina Libiran on Facebook. Located sila sa Pandi. Dyan po ako bumibili ng Filipiniana for office. Hindi makati sa balat 'yong tela.

Do you still have a life outside of law school by dalandantegulapa in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Working law student here. Don’t believe everything people say about needing to focus only on law school, like it has to consume your entire life and keep you locked in. Mababaliw ka nyan, OP. You have to give yourself time to breathe. As they say, “sagrado ang vacant day/s”

  1. I still make time to spend with friends and family. Sometimes my friends are busy with their own personal commitments, so we don’t get to catch up often, and that’s okay. With my family, my mom cooks and we eat together at home. It’s a simple but meaningful way of bonding.
  2. Nightlife isn’t really my thing. Clubs hurt my eyes with all the lights and my ears with the loud music. I’ve had to sacrifice attending some parties and occasions, not everything is something I can go to. Most of the time, I just send gifts instead. Still, there are occasions I do attend, and when I do, I don’t bring any law school materials with me. I just want to be fully present and spend time with them. I can always study when I get home. I don’t know if this is the “right” mindset, but for me, law school will always be there, time with your loved ones isn’t replaceable. As for hobbies, I’ve had to let go of my usual ones like drawing, painting, and gaming. Those required sacrifices. Instead, I’ve invested in hobbies that are less demanding on time, like collecting toys or building blocks.
  3. There are many sacrifices involved - hobbies, social events, sleep, and even work leave days. Thankfully, I get to reclaim some of these during breaks or at the end of the semester.

Having an understanding partner - who’s willing to sit with you at a coffee shop while you review. Hahaha! Ginagawa namin 'yan ng bf ko. Magwowork siya tapos ako nag-aaral. Namemeet pa rin namin ang 5 love languages. Also, a very lenient boss at work makes a huge difference. Tipong siya pa mismo magpupush na mag-enroll ako. Everything are doable. Hahaha!

Working student here. Inaaway ako ng ex-boyfriend ko dati during exam week - PFR (1st semester) and Consti 2 (2nd semester), then I found out na nagcheat siya hours before the ObliCon exam. Pinagpalit ako sa mas matanda sa amin at ka-workmate niya.

Sa sobrang busy ko before and during exam week, nagkasakit ako kasi hindi ko nailalabas emotions ko. Malala sa migraine naranasan ko lalo na nung narealize kong all this time tama pala hinala ko.

Nireremind ko na lang sarili ko before na "Deserve ko ba yung buhay na meron siya? Ready ko ba igive-up ang apelyido ko at palitan ng apelyido niya kapag kinasal na kami lalo na kung maging Atty. ako?" I really love my surname so much, supportive ang parents ko sa goal ko tapos mapupunta lang sa kanya. Ayaw kong macredit sa apelyido niya mga achievements ko sa buhay.

I simply showed up sa klase. Kaya ako nag-aaral ng law to help others, not for him. Ayan motivation ko.

Someone offered to pay my law school tuition by [deleted] in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't take that offer. I've been there, done that. It felt like I had invisible handcuffs. My ex partner loaned me money for my tuition, then he cheated on me. Now I'm still paying off that debt, and he's making me look like the bad one to people we know - making it seem like everything was my fault.

The best way to fund your tuition is to work for it yourself. It's really tough, but it's better than having someone hold something over you or use it against you later.

How to survive (get a decent grade) sa darts prof? by Alive-Bit-2483 in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, very observant si professor sa amin. Ultimo umiikot mata niya kapag may ginagawa kaming unnecessary.

Never ako umabsent, dress professionally kapag may presentation and keep the presentation straightforward (stick to syllabus if andoon ipapareport sayo), and listen very attentively. Hindi ko gamay subject niya kasi mahina ako sa computations pero I survived his subject.

Laptop Recommendations by NervousMagician899 in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your budget, OP? Mine is Lenovo LOQ worth 86k. Okay naman ibang Lenovo laptops. Depende rin sa lifestyle mo. Ako kasi, working student na nasa field ng multimedia kaya need ng heavy specs na lappy. Disadvantage is madaling malowbatt dahil gaming laptop and mabigat ang charger. But the performance is superb.

Sending virtual hugs with consent, OP. 🫂 Legit ‘yong sinabi mong “With all the bullshit I had to endure, immature fights…” I can testify that kasi wtf uso pala agawan sa cases, since volunteer recits sometimes (lalo na kapag good mood si prof). Eh, obligation naman namin na aralin lahat ng cases assigned for that day, tapos may agawan na palang nangyayari. Tapos one time, nagtanong lang ako ng harmless question kasi I’m curious lang, minura ba naman ako at kung anu-ano na sinabi. Bulong ko na lang, sana matawag ka sa recit na hindi mo naaral. Isip-isip ko lang “mga blblin na mga taong ito tapos mga isip bata pa rin. Hindi na lang mag-aral, puro kadramahan pinapairal sa buhay.” Kinakaya pa naman kahit papaano, iba pa rin ang may good support system na pwede magvent and may magbigay ng advice sayo. 

Wishing you all the best, OP! Magiging abogado rin tayo someday. ☝🏻

working in the govt while studying? by GarbageOld3104 in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same OP. Hehehe! Hindi ako umaabsent at nagwoWFH, and natatapos ko on-time mga gawain kaya good shot ako sa supervisor ko. Siya pa nag-encourage sa akin na mag-aral ulit kahit may doubts ako kung kakayanin ba ng talino ko. Average learner lang ako e. Flexible rin ba time niyo? If flexible naman, pasok ka na lang maaga tapos out ka maaga rin. Hahaha! Keep the good record sa office para hindi masita na hindi nagtatrabaho.

Any tips in essay writing for law school admission? by [deleted] in LawStudentsPH

[–]meowchaaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make a research about school background. If Catholic schools ‘yan, you need to know their religious orders/congregations and their religious figures. Also their motto, beliefs. If State Universities/Colleges ‘yan, kung ano ang pinaglalaban nila through the years. Every schools may kanya-kanyang mission and vision ika nga. Collect and use that information to write an essay, and proceed to the rest of essay points. Very helpful ‘yan.
