Tips – Successful in Law School

It is not everyone’s cup of tea to pursue the course in a law school. You should have the flair for the analytical and logical approach to pursue the legal profession. Many students cannot make the cut even though they possess the requisite qualities. This is because they are unable to hone up the skills when they enter the law school. Therefore, the guidelines for survival on entering the law school are essential for a successful completion.

• Focus Your Aim

You should focus on the objective you have in mind. You can have an orientation on the options and how to reach the goal and the better option is to approach the Office of Career Services. Of course, their job is not to find a suitable job for you. But they are better placed in explaining to you what to do to achieve the aim.

• Build up Steam for Regular Study

Remember that you should have a sustained schedule of study regularly. If you feel that you can sprint when the examination schedule is announced you are wrong. It is like a marathon exercise with continued and sustained efforts right from the beginning. Nevertheless, keep the study schedule which is optimum and achievable.

• Be Smart and Work Hard

No doubt, many students would like to work tough for achieving the goal. However, working hard is no good for a successful career. You should be smart and for this, you need to be as serious as you prepare for the final examination right from the first semester itself.

*Also, pick up the nuances of referencing appropriately. The similar answer with all proper references would fetch impressive grading than others. The resources available at the Library would greatly help you in picking up many smart ways for your research.*

• Birds of a Feather

You are sure to find some similar students sailing in the same boat. You should identify such a homogenous group and try to discuss the doubts or the problems with your peers for a proper understanding.

• Legal Terminology

The skill of legal writing is an art, which no one is born with. In the first year itself, you should pick up the writing style using the appropriate legal terminology. The holistic sentences with the optimum density of words would ensure you are above the level of others.

• It is Not Memorization

The basic distinction you should realize is that you can’t simply memorize from the open books. The objective of the examination is to test your analytical ability to support your way of thinking. It is not a test “what you know” but “how you support your argument.”

Why can’t I look like her?… *sigh*

Having the “perfect” body is ideal. However, you should remember that everyone cannot be Victoria’s Secret model. It is indeed an irony that majority of the girls worry too much about maintaining the skinny, bikini dress body.

The body image is a major psychological parameter on the social media or other modes of communication. It is no surprise that even girls rather the child of seven years is also conscious of the ideal body.  The result of the Girl guiding survey has revealed some startling results.

Survey of Girl Guidance-

35% of the girls were of the opinion that their appearance is more important than their ability in a survey of 559 girls of 7 to 10 years of age while 23% of them felt they desired to be perfect. Similarly, 36% of the girls surveyed felt their looks are the paramount significance.

Similarly, the study included girls of 11 to 21 years of age and out of 1000 girls, 80% of the girls opined that their physical look is more important for them. A whopping 93% of the girls felt that the judgment of a girl is more on the physical appearance than the mental ability. It is also true that 47% of the girls expressed that the look holds them back on a majority of occasions. Overall, about 600 girls said that they are not perfect and desired to be.

• Changing Lifestyle

With a majority of the girls aiming for the ideal body and with the peer pressure on the girls, the lifestyle of the girls is changing. The eating habits, skipping the breakfast or other principal means of the day is leading to unhealthy bodies.

The girls are going to such an extent that the physical workout schedule has been doubled with an aim to shed some weight and body mass. There is no exaggeration that some girls are opting for detoxification methods.

• Negative Effects

The misconception of the girls that they do not have a thin and attractive body like the models in the magazine is affecting the mental confidence level. The low morale of the girl has a direct negative impact on the mental ability too.

With the lack of body-confidence, such girls also avoid certain dress varieties though the clothes are of their preference only with the inhibition of not looking good.

Some girls also feel embarrassed to go to a gym or other workout since the body is not as ideal as it should have been like the celebrities. In fact, this attitude has a negative impact on the healthy body.

The body consciousness is also restricting them from socializing in the society.

It is time the girls stop worrying about what they are not and feel proud to be what they are.

Tips – Managing Finances Effectively

 A majority of us needs to deal with the personal finances. However, the personal financial management is not taught in any school. Neither is there any magic wand or an easy trick with which you can manage the finance. You can flip through some basic tips to ensure that you need not have to travel on a bumpy road.

• Realistic Budget of Expenses

Prepare an honest budget without hesitation. When you envisage the probable expenses for a given period, you need to cut the corners somewhere to make both ends meet. If you closely track the expense pattern, you will be the best judge in identifying to prune the avoidable expenditure. With such a regular exercise, there is a possibility of saving up to 15% of your projected income. A close scrutiny of the spreadsheet will throw some scope for tweaking.

• Spend Wisely

At first glance, everyone feels that they spend wisely and there no wasteful expenditure. However, think closely the expenses of buying some gadgets—be it music or gym equipment or any such things, which are hardly used. Unless the item is essential, it is not advisable to buy. You can have a simple cost analysis, and if you find that renting the item would be wise, take it on rent instead of buying the item. It does not mean that you should rent out everything. If you feel it is worth buying, go for it.

• Build a Contingent Fund

Many people think that they would save once you meet all the expenses. However, a wise man thinks otherwise. First, he will save the money and manage the expenses with the remaining amount. Once you set apart for savings, you are forced to meet the expenses and the avoidable expenses vanish on their own.

Do not borrow the money. If you do not have money, do not buy it. This way, you can restrict your expenses and the amount saved could be used either for an investment. Remember to have some contingency fund in order to meet the emergency expenses which were unforeseen.

• Smart Investments

Do not forget that you should have a long-term investment plan, especially for the post-retired life. In addition to the retirement plans of the employer, think of the pension fund or some other smart investment plans. It is also a good idea to opt for mid-term investments and reinvest by swapping the funds eventually to have a long-term corpus. Think of stock market plans only if you have the expertise in the industry. However, do not gamble if you are a novice in the field. Alternatively, do not hesitate to take an advice from the expert.

Social media has us comparing our lives, instead of us being thankful for who and what we are. We live in a generation where technology has has taken over our world. People struggle with insecurity because they constantly compare their “behind-the-scene” life with everyone else’s spotlight. People have indirect communication and are missing out on critical social skills. The truth is, reality is lost on social media. So many people continue to show the best version of themselves rather than the real one. People will always showcase their accomplishments, whether it be a new car, a vacation, a relationship, a new career, or a new body goal, but what you will never see are the fights, the insecurities, or their personal problems. We do not know what others go through in their daily life because we are not exposed to it. Do not sit behind a computer and judge. We have all done it at one point in our life. Someone else can be farther along in their journey than you are, and that is OK, because everyone’s life is at a different pace. Do not compare yourself to another. Just like body images, set goals and let it inspire you, not use it maliciously to have hatred and jealousy towards another and what they have accomplished. Use social media in a good way, to interact intellectually, to make connections, to be able to market, and let it allow you to grow in certain aspects you may be lacking. There will always be someone who will have more or less than you, but what they cannot have is the same purpose or commitment that you can in your own life if you stay grounded.

*How Social Media Poisons Lives*

The last 5-6 years have seen a boom in the social ties among people. Distances between places and people have come down. You can connect to your old nursery school friend or your childhood neighbor, wherever they are. All thanks to social media networking, that people are connected with everyone and everything from the moment they wake up.

But, give it some thought. Are you heading towards the right direction or are you becoming slaves to the online life? Do you sit with your family members and have a chat with them, do you say hello to your next-door neighbor? Then how are we still connected? Humans are getting into the vacuum created by online stuff, and we are becoming ignorant towards people sitting right next to them.

Social media is turning a curse rather than a boon. Know the ill effects of social media usage before it is too late.

1. Feeling Connected, Really?

As you are conversing with the whole world, you have a false sense of being connected. But more and more people are withdrawing into their shells and are only connected in a non-real, online life.

2. Stress and Depression

Young people spending as less as 2 hours per day on social sites are more prone to mental illnesses like anxiety, depression, etc.

3. Less Sleep

Disturbed sleep patterns and poor-quality sleep are directly related to over usage of social media. Instead of giving their body and mind the much-needed rest, people tend to use phones and tablets at night.

4. Reduced Productivity

Almost all organizations use social networking sites for various purposes. This is proving to be a great hindrance to the employees’ productive time and costing the organization in the long run. Studies show that companies lose more than 2 billion every year, just because their employees are spending more time on Facebook, Twitter rather than doing their work.

5. No more Privacy

Nowadays, people are posting publicly what exactly they are doing at any given point of time. The things they write or the photos, they post remains online permanently. Anyone can use the same facts in an inappropriate way in the future.

6. Cyber Stalking

Stalking an individual has existed in the society, and now it is done online too. An ex-boyfriend or spouse may harass their victim online. The online relationship that did not work might result in the stalking of the individual with the help of the information that was posted.

Though social media are fun and give an opportunity to interact with completely different individuals, still it is not the best thing to lose your sleep over it.

ARE WE LIVING IN A MULTIVERSE?

As a comic or a video game or a sci-fi movie, you are thrilled with the concept of the parallel universe. The pervasive idea in fictional representation is not a perverse concept. The grandma’s view that there exists a parallel universe and there is a replica of YOU somewhere in another universe is not without a base. The multiverse is a facet of the astronomical theory which is subject to a very vigorous debate. It might be purposeful to know how the universe is created.

OUR UNIVERSE…

As per the Big Bang theory, some 14 billion years ago, something caused the cosmos infinitesimal to expand and inflate, which caused the three-dimensional space. Consequently, the small splinter pieces formed the larger pieces of matter like the galaxies, stars, and planets.

Believing this theory, we are perhaps limited in our observations since we are in a bowl which is curved and therefore, unable to see outside to confirm either existence or absence of another universe.

The theories supporting the parallel universe are many.

• Infinite Time-Space

The exact shape of the space-time is unknown to us and there is a possibility that the shape is flat and the space-time goes forever. Therefore, the repetition of a universe cannot be ruled out.

• Sibling Universe

As a result of Big Bang theory, there is a possibility of the subatomic particles following the pattern of quantum mechanics. Therefore, there are large universes and our universe is only one among the many.

• Parallel Universe

As per the concept of flat space-time, the multiple universes would have the precise probabilities of 10^10^122. Therefore, cosmic patches along with the particle arrangements replicate, which suggests that there is a parallel universe.

Since the above are based on the scientific assumptions, as long as they are not proved beyond doubt, there would be counter-theories too.

• The absence of Inherent Energy

The Big Bang Theory was the result of inflation of exponential energy inherent to space. Therefore, no particles are expanding beyond that period of time. The usual rate of inflation at different times makes the possibility of another universe a rare chance.

• The absence of Infinite time

In spite of the possible values for the fundamental constants, the outcome is so fast than merely being exponential, unless, of course, inflation has been occurring for a truly infinite amount of time. Therefore, this theory reduces the chances of another parallel universe.

Anyway, as of now, the concept of the multiverse or parallel universe is a matter of a strong debate among the scientists. However, the absence of evidence cannot be the evidence of absence.

Avoid the Ugly Fat With Detox Plans

There is no denying that regular physical activity and appropriate diet would enable you to maintain the proper parameters for the body. However, you also need to cleanse the body so that the body organs function more efficiently. This detox process would help you in maintaining the ideal weight. It is perfect to detoxify the body once a week for better results.

• Milk and Fruits

For beginners, it would be idyllic to start the process with only milk and fruits. While there is no constraint on the number of fruits, you consume. It is advisable to restrict the consumption of milk to 700 ml for the day. However, try to avoid the fruits like the watermelon and muskmelon after late evening, since they take a longer time to digest. You might be aware that banana is effective in toning up your weight. Therefore, you can have 8 bananas along with 700 ml of milk.

• Veggies and Fruits

You can choose to consume a combination of fruits and vegetables. No restriction either on the quantity or on vegetables. You should ensure that whatever you eat, it should be clean, hygiene and healthy. You have an unlimited choice of vegetables and fruits. Ideally, if you could avoid salt after late evening, it will have an effective result. Please do no hasten to include milk.

• Juices

Indisputably, fresh fruit juice is essential for a healthy body. A glass of juice will ensure abundant benefits to your body. You will get the required minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and proteins besides the essential fatty acids from the juice, which will keep your energy level optimally. No doubt, your immune system also will improve since it adds strength to your body. With the fresh fruits and vegetables, you can prepare a glass of juice for consumption. Some juices though taste bland or even sour, avoid adding sugar or salt to the juice.

• Infused Water

For those who are a novice for the detox process, infused water is nothing but the water infused with any fruit or some spice like the jeera, cinnamon or other materials such as ginger, lemon, etc. A day prior to the detox schedule, you need to soak any fruit along with the other material and keep it overnight. Next day, the infused water is the food for your entire day. Ideal fruits like Apple and Cinnamon Water, Strawberry, Kiwi or Lemon and ginger would be a preferred combination. Should you find difficult to maintain the day with only infused water, you can add the same kind of fruit used for the infused water.

A final word of caution, do not perform a hardcore physical activity except walking during the day of detoxification.

(JE-A-LOUSY)

Never compare yourself to others or what they posses, whether it be materialistically or spiritually. Whether it was given to them or it was earned, make your own life and figure out your own path. Every person possesses a different quality in their own unique way. You will be discontent with yourself and your own life if you cannot handle seeing others succeed. We all reach success differently….

becoming a mother, raising a child, being valedictorian, CEO of a company, MVP of the basketball team, getting straight A’s, or simply being devoted to your career. Not everything is materialistic wealth and others may simply envy how much you are loved or how others show affection towards you. Do not be the person who is envious of another’s intelligence.

Give credit when its due and own your OWN life.
