Hello, I am also first-gen studying for the LSAT. I understand and feel you when you say that taking breaks causes you to overthink and stress over the LSAT. I am literally a huge overthinker, and have done poorly in the past with standarized tests because I get huge anxiety. However, I have some tips for you to combat this from my own experience, and from other mentors/lawyers I've talked to in a pre-law program I am in.
First-gen students like us aren't often taught that taking breaks are actually GOOD for you. I reason my breaks by reminding myself that: 1. If my body, mind, brain, is not functioning well, then how can I really be studying information? Your body should be taken care of otherwise when you're studying, it may not be as effective. 2. To prevent burnout
Try Time Blocking or Pomodorro techniques so you have time during the day where you can rest, eat, or do whatever you need.
Find ways to cope when you have a lot of stress/anxiety -- maybe do mindfulness, go for a walk, write your thoughts in a journal, seek professional help from a therapist (i personally do this and as a first-gen in which my family prob doesn't believe in therapy, it is actually beneficial bc it offers you a safe space from someone you don't know personally that will help you find coping mechanisms and triggers)
Know that you ARE capable. Practice little words of affirmation or little rewards for yourself when you get through it. I've met so many first-gen lawyers, also POC or not, and if they can get through the LSAT then so can you
I put so much stress on myself that I HAVE to do WELL on my upcoming LSAT in June in order to apply for law school this upcoming cycle. But why am I rushing myself? I know that there are other test dates I can do before apps, and even if Im unable to get my apps in this upcoming cycle, its not the end of the world and I can learn so much if i take that extra gap year. Everything will work out with time!
I know taking advice is hard but please give yourself time to rest. You have been doing good and you'll get to where you want to be with time.
maybe there's something up with the website :( just a couple days ago the website was down for some time... why now ahh
