▪️WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2020.▪️ “The ▪️WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2020.▪️ “The humanity we all share is more important than the mental illnesses we may not” ~ Elyn R. Saks Today is a day for you. #worldmentalhealthday is an important day for humanity. It's a reminder than we all have a duty to ourselves. It's a reminder than we all have a duty to our loved ones. It's a reminder that we all have a duty to our friends. It's a reminder that we all have a duty to those we meet online. It's a reminder that we all have a duty to those we don't know. It's a reminder that we all have a duty to ourselves, as humans. What duty, you may ask? We have a duty to care, to look out for, to ask, to be there, to check in, to be a friend, to love, to support but most importantly to be vulnerable. Every year, we know of or have lost someone due to mental health and this number does not cease to rise. Right now, someone we know and love is suffering and they are suffering in silence. It takes courage to be vulnerable and to share our deepest and darkest fears. A simple "how are you" can go a long way. And so I ask, all of us, to look out for one another. Don't be afraid to say "I'm not okay". In actual fact, you're being brave. Chances are, that a lot of us feel the same. I know I have. If you can take away one thing from me today, it is this; You are loved You are adored You are beautiful You are unique Because You are you. There will never be another like you. And that's a beauty in itself. - - -

💫GRATITUDE...💫 I haven't said this as much 💫GRATITUDE...💫 I haven't said this as much lately as opposed to how often I used to say this when I started my account. The purpose of YLC was to help as many aspiring lawyers as possible by talking about law/career related matters, positivity, personal development and having a positive mindset as well as sharing my own personality so that you guys could get to know the face behind YLC too. But today I just want to say 1 thing. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for your continued support, your motivation, your encouragement, your love, your messages, your likes, comments, shares, saves, your friendships, your educational content and inspiring stories and more. I truly am the definition of a broken record but I am thankful to be a part of a supportive community and to have formed connections with so many of you over the last few months. As we are beginning to go back to schools and universities and work, I spent some time reflecting on why I started this account in January and all I can say is how GRATEFUL I am that I did - because I got to know you all and I hope that I will continue to form many many more connections going forward. I didn't foresee that this platform would become a source of positivity and a safe space where students would take comfort in being open about who they are, their legal journeys, their successes and struggles and more with me. Although I talk a lot about law and such, you guys are my priority and all that I share is in the hopes that it helps even 1 of you. And it warms my heart to see how impactful my platform has become and I hope that you guys feel the same way too ❤️ I have so much content in stock and I can't wait to share it all with you in due time! Thank you guys so much!❤️ As always, Happy Tuesday! - - -
⚡️5 TIPS TO PREPARE FOR UNIVERSITY... DURING A ⚡️5 TIPS TO PREPARE FOR UNIVERSITY... DURING A PANDEMIC⚡️ SWIPE + SAVE for my top tips to prepare for back to school/university. I've come across a lot of information on how best to get ready to get back to that study-mode. (All of which are so incredibly helpful!) There's just so much uncertainty and so much newness that it can be overwhelming trying to transition from months of lockdown and back to work/study - I hope my tips will help make that transition a little easier for you! Above are a few things that I am currently doing to get ready to begin my LLM studies soon! If you have found these useful, do SHARE my post to your story as it could be really helpful to a student out there ⚡️ As bloggers, we are here to support each other, to motivate one another and I'm grateful to be a part of a community that strives to want the best for everyone 🔥 👉🏽Are you heading back to school/university?

👏🏽👏🏽 I BELIEVE CONGRATS ARE IN ORDER.. 👏🏽👏🏽 I BELIEVE CONGRATS ARE IN ORDER...👏🏽👏🏽 Disclaimer: 1. Please Ignore my Afro (I know it's a mess)😂 2. Definitely ignore my eyebrows! (haven't done them in months..)🤣 3. But more importantly, CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who got offered a place in university this September! 🥳 Whether you got your 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 10th offer, the fact that you got an offer in the first place is worth celebrating ✨ Albeit a rather strange one, your hard work and perseverance through this difficult time has paid off. It was a privilege to receive so many messages from you guys telling me if you got offered a place in university/what course you'll go on to do. After hearing on the news how some courses went up by nearly 60+ points 🤭, I could understand how nerve wrecking it must have been to wait to see if you got an offer.. But that was yesterday and today is today. Right here and right now, this moment in time, do you know what that is? THIS is the beginning of the rest of your life. You are moving to the next stage of your life - how beautiful is that? Even if you didn't get your preferred course, you might be feeling defeated, as if your goals and aspirations are no longer a possibility. But I guarantee that there is more than 1 way to get to that end goal. It's only a matter of finding out what that is and working hard towards that goal. 💪🏽 I didn't go straight to university after my Leaving Cert but I still graduated from Law this year- and the same thing applies to you too. You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it ! I hope you guys are having a brilliant and celebratory weekend; I'm so proud and so happy to see so many of you moving towards this next stage of your lives ✨ There's so much more excitement ahead, I know it✨ DON'T FORGET: Check-In Sunday tomorrow @ 9am on my story! 👉🏽 Let me know what you're up to this weekend and as always, have a great one ! ❣️ - - -
🌱POST-LEAVING CERT OPTIONS🌱⁣ ⁣ Happy Tue 🌱POST-LEAVING CERT OPTIONS🌱⁣ ⁣ Happy Tuesday everyone!✨⁣ I hope you're all having a lovely day so far!⁣ ⁣ As requested, 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐏𝐄 to read about the various options available to you as a Leaving Cert student!⁣ ⁣ I thought it would be important to bullet-point the advantages and disadvantages of each option as I felt like it would really help you guys to have a clear picture of each option as you prepare for life after the Leaving Cert.⁣ ⁣ I know that there is A LOT👀 of information here (very sorry about that!) but this is an important moment in your lives and I truly hope that you find this useful!⁣ ⁣ I know that it is a difficult and not an ideal time for you all but know that you are in control of your lives from this moment forward. ⁣ Nobody but you.⁣ Don't feel defeated. Each and every decision that is made should be because YOU want to make that decision. ⁣ ⁣ I hope you all benefit immensely from this post and let me know what you think of it in the comments below✨👇🏽⁣ ⁣ Huge congrats to you all on your results and best of luck going forward !!🍀⁣ ⁣ As always, have a great evening! ⁣ -⁣ -⁣ -⁣ -⁣ Websites used:⁣ ▫️Canva⁣ ▫️Careersportal.ie⁣ ▫️Qualifax.ie⁣ ▫️Citizensinformation.ie⁣ -⁣ -
🍀BEST OF LUCK TO ALL LEAVING CERT STUDENTS🍀⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tomorrow, Monday, 7th September, at 9am, The Leaving Certificate results are out for roughly 60,000 Irish students who will receive their calculated grades.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Your exams this year were not forseen nor ideal. So much work was put in for this occasion and it didn't pan out as planned. It sucks. ⁣⁣ But let me say one thing.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Each and every one of you has really stepped up and taken this on the chin. This marks the end of your second level studies and yes, tomorrow could bring about surprises but always remember one thing. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Grades just don't matter. ⁣⁣ And why?⁣⁣ Because there is SO much ahead of you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Whatever route you chose going forward will only serve you well in the long run. Life is a lifelong learning journey, education never ceases, and this is why regardless of the outcome, there is more to life than the letters/numbers on your results paper. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When I got my LC results, I missed out on Law by 5 points and I felt like it was the end. I felt really lost and unsure of how this happened because I did put in the work. I didn't know what to do next. But there were alternatives available to me (Pre-University Law, a PLC course) which turned out to be the better decision than going straight to university from the LC.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Although the LC is an important milestone at your young ages, it's merely a step forward.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Regardless of your outcome - tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of your lives. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I want to wish every one of you good luck! I have no doubt in my mind that you'll achieve the grades that you deserve and if not, it is not the end of the world (at all!) 🍀⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Go n-éirí leat!⁣⁣ 💚 ('Good luck' in Irish) ⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ -⁣⁣ -⁣⁣
✨ REMINISCING ✨⁣ ⁣ Hi all!⁣ Today has be ✨ REMINISCING ✨⁣ ⁣ Hi all!⁣ Today has been a really busy day! I didn't expect it to be so.⁣ I've been working on my blog (still coming I promise!), planning out content for this account, writing up new blog posts and going through my module choices for my LLM which starts in 2ish weeks !⁣ ⁣ I took a short break and I was glancing through my photos on my phone and I came across this one which my friend took of me (shoutout to her!)⁣ ⁣ Here I am in Edinburgh, a really beautiful city. (This was taken roughly 2/3 weeks before Ireland went into lockdown) ⁣ ⁣ The FLAC society in my former university took a weekend trip to Edinburgh where we explored the city and we even got a tour of the Scottish Parliament !⁣ ⁣ It's crazy because at that time I wouldn't have imagined the current state that we are living in now.⁣ Simply put, everything SEEMED fine.⁣ And everything WAS fine. ⁣ ⁣ Now, the travel industry (and many other industries) had been hit quite hard and many summer holidays abroad could not occur. A lot of us suffered from holiday-fever ! ⁣ ⁣ We are beginning to embrace a "new normal" and with that in mind, I'd just like to say a few words:⁣ ▫️Try to take each day with a pinch of salt. ⁣ ▫️Expect the unexpected. ⁣ ▫️Take each day as they come. ⁣ ▫️And breathe. ⁣ ⁣ All of this is overwhelming but we are getting through this together, day by day, and we will see it through to the end✨⁣ ⁣ On the point of travel - did anyone else suffer from holiday-fever during lockdown ?⁣ 👇🏽Comment down below if you did👇🏽⁣ ⁣ DONT FORGET: Check-In Sunday is tomorrow morning, 9am on my story!⁣ ⁣ As always, happy Saturday and I hope you're having a lovely weekend ✨⁣ -⁣ -⁣ -⁣
