Welcome!

Afternoon everyone!

Welcome to my blog! I am so happy to have you here.

Let's get introductions out of the way.

My name is Sinthu and I am 23 years old. I am a law student studying the LPC LLM in London. I am originally from Sri Lanka and I moved here due to political unsettlement. Other than studying the law, I read in my spare time and take part in writing novels. I have taken part in the Nanowrimo in the past which involves writing a 50,000-word novel within the month of November. I also love to create art and love journaling. I also enjoy exploring new places.

So that's a snapshot of who I am.

This blog is a new venture where I will share my experiences, guidance and anecdotes. If you want to learn more about being a law student and learning the law in the UK, I hope to provide some insight into that. This blog will also house a lot of lifestyle blog posts about how you can live your best life. It will hopefully bring you a bit of joy and happiness if you are feeling down.

So that's it for now! I will see you in my next post!

Sincerely Sinthu

Why You Should Vote

Afternoon, everyone! Let's talk about the general election. It's just a week away and there are so many reasons why we should vote. The parties are all making so many promises and proposals for new policies. We need to get out there and decide what we want for the future. Regardless of whether you support one party or another party, just get out there and vote and make sure your voice is heard. Voting impacts how things are in your community and your life.  So why vote? Sure, you might say that you'll have no influence and no impact on the outcome. You might even be completely disinterested in politics and the news but not voting will mean that other people will decide how your entire world is run. From Brexit to education, from the environment to the NHS, it will be decided by someone else. Voting is deciding what policies should proceed and policies make real-life changes. Your vote will impact a whole plethora of different and important aspects of your life so...

SMART Goal Setting

Afternoon, everyone! So let's talk about goal setting. Who has set up a bunch of new years' resolution? Who has failed at keeping to it? I think it's safe to say most of us use the new year to improve ourselves in some way but often times it just doesn't work. I was taught a wonderful method of creating goals in therapy that has really helped with achieving my goals. According to the Chartered Management Institute , the technique was introduced by Peter Druker and G.T. Doran and has been praised for its effectiveness. So what is it? The SMART follows the form of an acrostic poem in which each letter of the word 'SMART' spells out a word that you should keep in mind when creating a goal. S pecific: when creating a goal, you have to very specific on exactly what you are seeking to achieve. Let's use running a marathon for example. Simply writing 'run a marathon' is not going to help you visualise exactly what you are seeking to do. It doesn...

How To Answer a Problem Question

Afternoon, everyone! Happy New Year everyone! So exams are around the corner so let's get back to basics. This is for my law students whose exams contain problem questions.  Let's go over how to answer a problem question. This post will be incredibly general so be wary of what is expected of you from your relevant module or criteria to make sure you pick up all the marks. 1) Read your question and highlight all the key variables. Usually, the last paragraph will give you an idea of what the examiner is expecting you to answer. Make a big mental note of this to make sure you are not putting down way more than you need to. Having this in your head will help you tailor your answer better. The key question is what does your client actually want to know? 2) When writing, introduce what the client wants advice on so that the examiner knows that you have understood exactly what the question is asking you to do. A simple one to two lines will be sufficient. 3) Is there a part...
