LSAT prep - tips for balancing study and classes?

[JosephApplicantAlum]

After taking a gap year, I dove right into my dream of becoming a teacher in Cali public schools. Outside of class, you can catch me at art shows and concerts around town - gotta feed the soul, right?

But lately, I've been feeling the homesickness hitting hard while juggling Constitutional Law, Legal Writing, and Logic and Reasoning. LSAT prep, legal analysis, and case briefs are no joke!

Any tips on balancing study time for the LSAT with my heavy course load? How do you all manage the stress of prepping for big exams while staying on top of your classes? Would love to hear your thoughts! Let's help each other out in this crazy college journey!

Balancing LSAT with actual classes feels like juggling chainsaws sometimes.

Here's what worked for me: use your class readings as LSAT practice. Constitutional Law cases? Treat them like RC passages. Summarize the holding, the reasoning, the dissent. That's literally LSAT skill building disguised as homework.

Also, homesickness tip: find one local spot that gives you "home" energy. For me it's this random diner that reminds me of my grandma's kitchen. Go there weekly. Helps more than you'd think.
