A struggling student hurdling her law school life one tote at a time
When I was in high school, my plan was solid – I’d get Political Science as my pre-law, go to law school after, and become a lawyer at 24. Fast forward to 2019, I am now a registered nurse working as a defense analyst/writer, and a struggling 5th year law student. Hey, I know that …
Years before, I was very quick to anger. Some might had known me as a calm person, but those closer to me would know that I have my fair share of anger management issues. I am quick to react to things and situations Jumel, my boyfriend, who had once been trained in the military, would …
It was not until four years, after I graduated from nursing school and passed the Philippine Licensure Exam, that I took up law. And it was only then when I learned of God’s plan for me all along through the bible verse Jeremiah 29:11. Having read Jeremiah 29:11, I now consider delays as blessings and …

In this blog post, I will …
Being part of the Top 10 Pinoy Law Blogs and Websites was never my plan in setting up the Totetally Legal blog. All I wanted was to connect with my fellow law students and help the law student community in a way or two. However, something unexpected happened last week. Feedspot’s Top 10 Pinoy Law …
One thing I’ve observed that undermines law school productivity is PROCRASTINATION. With this in mind, I find this quote relevant to this subject matter: No one could have ever said it better than Mark Twain! As I battle procrastination myself, I thought I’d share another batch of free law school printables for my fellow law …
When I entered law school, even as a working student, I was prepared to face piles of case readings, which our law professors would surely assign. Some of them require us to read short cases. Other professors would assign a few ones, but are actually 100+ pages each. Bliss! Just kidding. Things had been tough …
Other than the injurious effects of the COVID-19 (Sars-CoV-2) pandemic to the world’s economic and public health systems, what could be more dreading to law students than being unproductive and disheveled during their lock down or quarantine days?
