Whenever I want to give up, I try to look for an anchor -- something to keep me going and grounded to the primary reason why I study law in the first place. Here's one of those. This is just two of the 24 brush-fine liner pens my love, Jumel, gave me two years ago. He knows I love color on my law school books and notes, and on my doodles. So, he gave me a set of these. These little things remind me of the bigger ones -- that I cannot let people like him, who are invested on me becoming successful someday, down. Lesson: If our family and loved ones believe that we can achieve our dreams and become equally committed to achieving it along the way, with more reason we have to think and act the same way. How's your midterm exam week going? As for me, well, I have the right to remain silent on this.

“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” – Calvin Coolidge So, today, I would like to honor in my own little way @lexplore.ph for being one of the best law school-related content resources in the Philippines. When I joined this law studygram community this year, I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was just all about accountability to one's self and posting aesthetic notes (one which I know I'll struggle doing). Little did I know that this community is an organism of camaraderie, encouragement, and support. Lexplore.ph was one of those who showed me the essence of this. I am sharing with you guys all about Lexplore.ph because I want you to be inspired in the same way it inspired me to study more, he productive, and do better as a law student. Let's follow @lexplore.ph , our friend and companion as we become lawyers SOON! #totetallylegal #lexploreph #lawstudygram #lawschool #lawstudentsph https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8_eJfJT37/?igshid=xkywkd88c9m

Chaos. I know I'll drive everyone, with OCD-like traits and love for cleanliness and perfection, CRAZY with this picture. But I am just brave enough to show how "dirty" my books and codals are. As an office worker and a law student, I just didn't have the luxury of time to make separate, clean, or even beautiful notes. I am always racing against time when it comes to studying. So, what better way to put everything in one place than have marginal notes on books and codals. Thank God for books with wide margins and plenty of white space. ❤️ #totetallylegal #lawschoolnotes #lawbooks #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawstudentsph #workinglawstudent #lawschoolstruggles #lawschoolbloggers https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpuYm-pwqc/?igshid=m88hse01jov8

Sometimes, all we need is to add some pop of color in our life. So, today, I'll be wearing my favorite work lippie to jazz things up. I don't about you but putting make up has always been part of my "pre-pandemic" self-care routine. I do this often until online classes happened. Lol. Note to self: Self-care is never incompatible with law school. How's your Monday, so far, my lovelies? #totetallylegal #lawschool #lawschoolmotivation #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawstudentsph #roadtoatty #lawschooljourney #lawschoollife #lawstudentslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOv_WTJ3cD/?igshid=5ppvbdujsq2c

This is a freebie fountain pen from one of my fountain pen ink hauls last month. At first, I thought it's "meh". After all, who would give a functional fountain pen as a freebie for an already cheap fountain pen ink? But as they say, BAWAL JUDGMENTAL! We shouldn't be judging a fountain pen by its price point. 😂 To my surprise, it writes pretty well! I love that it is in extra fine nib (although the nib says "fine") because it doesn't bleed through my notebooks and even through the thin leaves of my law review books. I honestly think this is perfect as a work horse and daily fountain pen. My only regret is I don't know it's name.

For some weird reasons, I have to study with my book put sideways (just like in this photo) so as to enable my body to the same direction. I don't know but I don't feel sleepy whenever I do this. I guess, in law school, we just have to stick with what works for us, no matter how peculiar it may be. 😂 How about you, what are your peculiar yet effective study habits? Perhaps, we can have an exchange and try each and everyone's techniques. 📚😀🥑 #totetallylegal #studyhabits #lawschool #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawstudentblog #lawstudies #roadtoatty #lawstudentsph #lawstudentslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJhA48pfkR/?igshid=1cjlq6fihjg9d

I felt overwhelmed starting a bullet journal at first. My artistically challenged self cringes on the fact that I have to design my own journal. Moreso, I was afraid that my bullet journal will be left unused, just like the planners I've used in the past. Finally, just two months ago, I discovered a reason to bullet journal -- law school. And since then, there's not a day that I haven't used it. So far, I'm loving it. I get to have a couple of hours a week of rest and diversion while getting my life (somehow) organized. ❤️ #totetallylegal #lawschoolbulletjournal #lawschooljournal #bulletjournal #bulletjournaling #bujo #bujoph #bujoplanner #bulletjournalspread #bulletjournalideas #bulletjournalcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwWgm3JiNO/?igshid=1fd33ng6vd0f6

I am not sure whether, Twinkle (my doggo study buddy 🐶) is smiling at me or smirking because I am not even half way through my readings. Lol. Either way, she brings me joy whenever she does this... which is by the way every time I'd look away from my books and notes every after 45 minutes. 😂 #totetallylegal #lawschoolblog #lawschool #lawstudents #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawschoolstruggles #doggie🐶 #dogsofinstagram #dogstudybuddy #doggo https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSKOSAJ04z/?igshid=kmh8ak6nlqw2

As I came to the last page of the book that I endeavored to read and make notes on, I am reminded once again how my boyfriend and prayer partner, Jumel, had supported me. Since 2016, he's been giving me the much needed support any law struggling working student would ever wish for in a boyfriend. This is one of the books he gifted me in our almost 5-year long relationship. I already have an Obligations and Contracts annotation by Atty. Hector De Leon, but he thought of giving me this just because I thin Atty. Tolentino's perspective would be worth considering as well. He seldom gives me flowers but he showers me with highlighters, papers, folders, art materials, and law books.

Got this pin from Luna PanPins and thought I'd doodle it on my law school journal. Law school is not an easy feat. We need as much motivation as we could get to keep ourselves going. We are about to start classes next week. How about you? How have your online classes been? #totetallylegal #lawschool #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #motivation #doodle #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #bulletjournal #bulletjournaling #lawschooljournal #lawstudentsph #lawschoolmotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CEqAWH-pblv/?igshid=xu8fipzpa0l9

I got my @pulpytrait products today! I'll give my thoughts/insights on their DIY notebooks, but let me just post a quick unboxing for now. It was a pleasure buying notebooks from Pulpy Trait. They make having quality notebooks at an affordable price possible. I am definitely reordering from you guys once I need more notebooks. ❤️ #totetallylegal #pulpytrait #diynotebook #nomoreunusednotebookpages #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawschool #lawschoolsupplies #lawschoolbloggers #lawschoolblog #lawstudentslife #lawstudentsph https://www.instagram.com/p/CElNZzcJK9e/?igshid=o469qncb1yve

Before our classes for this semester starts, I thought I'd set up my bullet journal to save time. Mine is not as fancy as those you see on Youtube. I decided to just use one of my old sketch notebooks for this purpose. The advantage of doing so is I was able to save money from buying expensive books. The downside, however, is it's hard to decorate and make tabulated figures because it doesn't have dots or grids. Neither is my bullet journaling neatly and creatively done. You can see that my pen bled through the pages most of the time. Nor did I use expensive materials. I only had my Dong-A My Gel pens and Stabilo highlighters to work with -- the same things I use for my law school notes on a daily. But I'm proud of this set up because it fits my law school needs. And I am thankful for the rare opportunity to have spare times within the day to undertake creative endeavors like this. With all the stresses I suffered as a beaten up law student in the past 5 years, I'd boldly say that I deserve this small accomplishments and "me" time. #totetallylegal #lawschoolstruggles #lawstudygram #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawstudentsph #lawschoolgram #bulletjournal #bujoph #bujo #doodlesofinstagram #fauxcalligraphy #journaling #lawschoolbulletjournal #lowbudgetbulletjournal #lawschoolbloggers #lawschoolblog #lawstudentslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfviPJJykn/?igshid=7jtl30avkg0k

My brother, who owns @nexuseats just gave me a glutinous rice-filled spring rolls for snack. I don't know if this is going to be part of their "meryenda" (snack) packages, but I would love if they will. This is so yummy yet satisfying. I felt more energized to continue my reading right after eating one. #totetallylegal #lawschoolbloggers #lawschool #lawschoollife📚 #lawschoolmotivation #lawstudentsofinstagram #lawstudents #lawstudentslife #lawstudygram https://www.instagram.com/p/CELrXnHp2WC/?igshid=km5b82i5lipq

Prior to the pandemic, I used to carrt my law school essentials with my favorite Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Neverfull GM. But since I am just moving around the house these days, I opted for my good old Coach taxi tote. Unknown to many, I love collecting tote bags. As the quarantine can be taxing and devastating on us, we have to look for ways to somehow cope. Using my bags inside the house, even though my family finds it funny and weird, is my way if dealing with the pandemic.
