Hi friends!
Long time, no talk! As most of you know I am currently in my first year of law school. (For those of you who are reading for the first time, welcome!) I started this blog back in college to share some study tips and after I graduated, I began including more lifestyle/beauty content. Now that I am back in school, I’d love to go back to posting helpful tips again! I’m definitely figuring things out as I go, but I always find myself looking to blogs and Youtube videos for incite. Over the past semester and a half, I’ve figured out what works for me, and what doesn’t.
Moral of the story, I am starting a series of posts on my blog relating to law school! While I know not all of you are in law school, many of you are college/grad school, and most of you have jobs in which a lot of these tips will over transfer to.
Some of my favorite posts to read are Amazon favorites. For that reason, I thought I’d make it my first post of the series, with a twist! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite products from Amazon that I use in law school. Without further adieu, let’s get into it!
#1 Books!
I get all my books off of Amazon! Casebooks can get really expensive and I always seem to find the best prices on Amazon. Plus they have rental option which is super affordable! I also buy my supplements from Amazon. I’ll link some of my favorites below:
#2 Laptop Case/Brief Case
I would not survive without my laptop in law school. Point blank. I got this adorable briefcase for Christmas and I am obsessed. It is perfect for my laptop but also has pockets for chargers and room for important documents/files. I also love the shoulder strap, its so convenient! It comes in multiple patterns and colors but I have the one below! I get so many compliments wherever I take it.
#3 A Productive Planner
Time management is the single most important thing in law school. Between reading, assignments, studying, and everything else, there is so much to keep track of. Note, I didn’t say just any planner, but a productive one. I highly recommend a planner with more than just dates and some blank space. You know how getting cute gym clothes for some reason makes you want to work out? Planners work the same way. My planner is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is super motivating. There are inspiring quotes, places to write my goals, and even mini to-do lists throughout the week. The Day Designer is well known for helping with productivity goals. I highly recommend!
Why not get two in one?! I have this tumbler and I LOVE it. It comes with the straw lid shown and a typical coffee mug lid that closes nice and tight so you won’t spill. They offer so many cute colors. I use this every single day!
#5 Padfolio
Professionalism is everything. I am a firm believer in “dressing/acting the part.” In law school there are meetings with professors, career fairs, externship fair, and more. A padfolio is perfect for them all. When meeting with a professor I like to have paper to take notes. A legal pad is perfect for this and holding any documents we’re reviewing. As for career fairs, padfolios bring together a look. You don’t want to be walking around holding a stack of resumes in your hand while speaking with professionals. Additionally, these events always have so many hand outs that I never know where to put. Having a padfolio allows me to collect information without looking sloppy. I have a simple black one from Amazon. Its super inexpensive but looks professional.
These are some of my absolute favorites from Amazon. As I mentioned before, I use them in a law school context but I recommend all of these products for school, work, and even everyday life. If you have something you love from Amazon please share below in the comments. I love discovering new products! Also, let me know what you guys want to see more of from me. I am going to try my best to post once a week starting today so leave me some ideas!
As always, thanks for reading and talk to you soon!
