๐ฏ โ๏ธMaking New Friends Covid๐ฏ September time means a lot of people on here will be starting new courses and degrees! Itโs great to meet new people and make new friends but how do you do this when everything is online??? - My recommendation is to take the plunge and suggest a Zoom call with your classmates! I know it sounds a bit daunting to suggest in a group chat and you donโt want to be โthatโ person who looks too keen, but at the end of the day WHO CARES. Everyone wants to make friends - especially with their future colleagues. Suggesting a zoom call is the equivalent of asking if anyone wants to go to the pub after class and we all have to adapt in Covid times. - This picture was taken this morning and weโve been having around 12+ people join every week now. Our LPC is split into 2 groups so itโs great to make friends with people in the other group who I wouldnโt normally cross paths with. When we all start our TC in September I wonโt have to go through the whole nervously making friends thing again because of these calls! If Iโm struggling one day as a trainee Iโll know I have a group of other trainees I can rely on which is a great feeling. - Take the plunge and make new friends!
Celebrating an overall distinction in my Msc in law, business and management ๐พ๐ธ - After finishing the LPC, I received the opportunity to interview for a client secondment through my future firm (as my Training Contract doesn't start until 2021). - After I had a phone interview with the client, and I commenced work the last week of July. - Even though I didn't expect to start my legal career working from home, I am so grateful to have this opportunity and I hope to make the most of it. This is why I haven't been as active as I wish I could be. - Adapting to the graduate life and working from home can be overwhelming but I know I am not alone. So that's why I would like to start sharing what life after the lpc is like for me as I start my first legal role and get ready to commence my TC. - Hope you find this new series helpful and hopeful that you can achieve anything you want ๐ #lpclife #lawyer #lawyerblog #master #ulaw #lawblog #lawtina #solicitor #trainingcontract #paralegal #workfromhome #studygram #studying #grateful #internationalstudent #class2020
๐ฉ๐จ๐ช๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฎ๐จ๐ฐ๐ต Hey!!

Sometimes you need a little help from babysitter David Attenborough! ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ My little sprout absolutely loves David Attenborough (who doesnโt?!) so itโs nice to settle him down when heโs feeling cranky. Today Iโm at the pre-exam stage where I feel totally unprepared but also completely unable to determine what I need to cover in order to feel prepared. Itโs a really tough stage and I think most students go through it at some stage before exams. During my land course, we were regularly told youโd have a โland momentโ where it all fits together. Iโm not quite sure whether Iโve had that or not. I think I understand the content, but I donโt think I understand the system - at this stage, Iโm hoping the system is illogical! I guess Iโll just keep trying to figure out what I need to do... #davidattenborough #fish #futurevet #documentaries #savetheplanet #motheringlaw #motherinlaw #motherhood #exams #studentparent #futurelawyer #aspiringsolicitor #legal #ulaw #masters
I am not sure if I could achieve that much if I wasnโt a mum (even if a word โmumโ still sounds very strange to me) One of my qualified friends was giving a talk at our University and was approached by a first year student afterwards asking for an advice on โhow to shine if she has got 3 childrenโ. I got pregnant only six month after obtaining my first degree at the age of 21 and had Nicholas when I was 22. Nobody believes me now when I say I was extremely quiet and shy in my teens and early 20s. However, itโs true and becoming a mother for some reason gave me that extra confidence boost. There was also another reason but I feel it deserves a separate recognition. To those of you who have children and are in the process of getting your first degree or looking for a first job, donโt think and donโt let others persuade you that child could somehow slow you down. I would say make it work in your favour. For instance, when during my final TC interview I was asked about my prioritisation skills or what do I think others would say about me, I referred to how I had to juggle so many things at once (full time GDL, day job, childcare and extra-curriculum activities) and that people were saying that I still always had a smile on my face. Motherhood is full of milestones, struggles, achievements and both sad and happy tears! The excitement of a securing a training contract with a Top 20 Law Firm was pretty overwhelming. However a full-time postgrad law degree with seven exams and a training contract competition process all in one year on top of a demanding day job was actually easier than raising a human... . . . . . . #lawstudent #lawstudentlife #lawyermum #aspiringsolicitors #aspiringsolicitor #parenthoodandcareer #motherandlaw #happymothersday2020 #devonlife #bestofdevon #britainsoceancity #bestofsouthwest #lawyermum #joysofmotherhood #fulltimeworkingmum #trainingcontract #legaljobs #gdl #lawdegree #ulaw #becomingalawyer #lawschool #lawschoollife

๐พ๐LPC RESULTS ๐๐พ - I am absolutely thrilled to say I have averaged a Distinction overall in these exams (Iโm still shaking! ๐). Just one more grade to come back towards my Masters qualification and Iโm done! ๐ - We completed these exams (and studied for each module) online, with no in-person teaching and no access to a library. On top of that, we have experienced a *global pandemic* which has affected each of us greatly, albeit in different ways - yet we still managed to sit exams with self discipline, sacrifice and perseverance. - To say it has been challenging doesnโt quite cut it - but these results prove that with some hard work and hard graft you can and will achieve amazing things! ๐๐๐ป - As many of you know, Iโve never been one to achieve consistent โtop gradesโ. I finished 2nd year of University with a 2:2 - (59%), and managed to pull it up in 3rd year achieving some high 2:1s and Firsts in my modules but still some low 2:1โs too. - I wasnโt going to post my individual results for these exams as I never do, but I really want to keep this page as honest and as transparent as possible. So, I am truly proud of these grades - the 66% just as much I am as the 81%! ๐ - Remember - you will never be good at everything. There will always be some things youโre worse at... and that is OKAY! Almost no one can be good at everything. You just need to take pride in what youโve achieved and remember how hard you have worked, NO MATTER the grade ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป - Iโve really enjoyed my time at u_law and really cannot wait to start my training contract with my dream firm in 2021 ๐๐๐ Bring it onnnn! ๐ช๐ผ๐ช๐ผ you will find me drinking cocktails and champagne (bit fancy!) in the garden ๐คช๐พ๐ธ๐น
โจLPC RESULTSโจ I am absolutely thrilled to have successfully completed the LPC with a distinction! ๐พ It has honestly been a crazy year! This course has been one of the most challenging things I have ever undertaken! From countless exams in a week and a WHOLE GLOBAL PANDEMIC! Meaning I had to completely change my way of study! It has been mentally and physically testing, but also one of the most rewarding experiences!๐ฅ A huge congratulations to my fellow LPC students, whether or not you got the grades you wanted you should celebrate just getting through it!๐พ๐ฅ I am excited for the next stage of this journey! Getting that TC ๐ช๐ผ #lpc #ulaw #lpcgrad #lpcgraduation #lpcgraduate #womeninlaw #futurelawyer #futuresolicitor
