Balancing Act

Since mid-June, I have been intensely studying for the LSAT without help from commercial study programs like Princeton and Kaplan. Because I knew I would not be able to pay the $1500+ for a program like Princeton Review and Kaplan, I searched for effective ways to study on my own and I found this website http://lsatblog.blogspot.com and followed the suggestions and study schedules religiously. I was on a roll this summer. I would take my prep books EVERYWHERE! On car trips, mall and shopping events, work, barbecues...you get the idea.

But when I came back to school in mid-August, my study habits began to decline. I started having a hard time balancing my senior year classes, organizational and volunteer duties, and LSAT study... and now, I feel like I have been slacking on my studying and the test is less than 3 weeks away! I hope I can get back in the habit of studying and be able to manage my time better, so that I can do well on the test and get into the schools I have considered applying to. PRAY FOR ME!

  1. Tiffany, you can do it. When I pray for my own hectic life, I'll keep you lifted as well. I know you probably have a good planner...make it your Bible! Write down everything! Highlight the items as you finish. Say your prayers every morning and every night. Go to sleep before midnight and wake up early. You can get twice as much work completed in the morning than you can in the wee hours of the night.

    I know you will "own" the LSAT. You're smart, driven and an excellent test taker. Wherever you go, you will be an awesome representation of FAMU. Keep on keeping on. Your reward is on the other side!

  2. Tiffany,

    Let me just start off by saying I love the way you blog! I can totally identify with what you’re going through. Some people don't realize how hard it is being a student. We are responsible for learning more information than those who came before us had to; we balance school, work and several extra curricular activities and still maintain good GPAs. Sometimes it's just too much pressure. But Tiffany, I know you'll be ok because you’re brilliant. You know what you want and you will do what it takes to get it. I will keep you in my prayers.
