Using Failure and Stress to Improve
There are two things that are certain to come with law school: failures and stress. Failures and stress are not usually considered positive things, but you can get the most out of them by learning how to manage and focus them in productive ways.
Stress can be made useful if you recognize it as the pressure of facing a challenge. Instead of letting stress freeze you in fear or cause you to lose focus by turning into panic, use the nervous energy that it creates inside you to tackle your projects and studies.
It can be helpful to remember that you are not alone in facing the stress of law school. Talk to your fellow students about what you are going through. You may learn new ways of dealing with your stress and make bonds with your fellow students in the process.
When stress starts to get overwhelming, focus on what you can control. A good deal of stress comes from sources that you have no control over. Do what you can with what you have and try to let the rest go.
When you tackle new ideas or and put them into practice, failures will occur. If something does not work out the first time, do not let the results turn into needless stress and worry. It has been found that failures can enhance your learning if you take the time to understand what went wrong.
With exams coming soon, November's showcase focuses on the variety of study aid available through the library. Beyond physical study aids, there are a variety of online resources available through the College of Law's West Academic study aid subscription.
