With us all dedicated to the LSAT and my life seemly is all LSAT for the past year.
I'd like to hear about some of the hobbies/ things you enjoy doing, are doing/will be doing once everything opens back up?
I liked to go trap shooting with my father before Covid hit. Or going snowmobiling out West in the mountains, even though I broke my leg a few years back that required 8 pins in my leg... I also like to go fishing in the gulf and or just getting out on the water and soaking up the sun. I feel like I haven't had any vitamin D since March 2020, because the LSAT and Covid. I feel like I could just grab a bottle of Sunny D and it absorbs through my skin😂😂

    Well, all I have to say is this: I am still getting plenty of sunshine and enjoying myself even while studying for the LSAT. Physical and mental wellbeing are utterly under-valued aspects to doing well on this test lmao.

    @yang9999 I agree that Physical and mental health are under-valued! I am happy to hear that you are getting plenty of sunshine and enjoying yourself!😊 I use to get 'burn-out' because I was not taking the time and distancing myself from the LSAT to give my brain and body a break. Now that I do that, studying for the LSAT is easier and my scores have increased immensely!

    This is fun to think about! I plan on doing a LOT of cooking and baking.

  • 375 karma

    Totally agree that maintaining a balanced life while studying is super important. I've really struggled with that since I also have to balance working full time and taking care of obligations I have at home. Needless to say I can't wait to be done with the exam to get some time back and enjoy doing absolutely nothing every now and then.

    Yes to cooking! Probably playing a few RPGs I've missed, but not enough to get addicted coz that would be death in law school. Oh, and finally moving past intermediate-level Korean. LSAT made me believe I can learn anything hahahaha.

    I'm trying to do some long endurance events and cycling through hills is great training. It's also great mental toughness and resiliency training. I have found that the lessons I get from physical stressful training are extremely helpful in LSAT prep and on test day believe it or not.

    Also, it depends on where you're biking, but if you're on flat ground 50 miles takes roughly around 3 hours. I did a 60 mile ride in 3:15 with a friend, but we also were doing more of a bike tour across the countryside so we stopped often at little cafes and sights to take pictures and I didn't have my computer set up so it kept time running a few times. If you're in the mountains that time gets a lot slower.

    I actually was assigned at JBLM in Tacoma so I am very familiar with the west coast mountains. Proposed to my wife on Mount Rainier!

    @"Thought this was the GMAT" I've been to Mount Rainer, I've been to the Panorama point and stayed in a ski lodge near there.
    I would have guessed that it took a lot longer than 3 hours to go 60 miles.
    I use to go to the gym everyday before they shut down, but now I try and powerwalk/jog and do pushups sit-ups to get my exercise in. I like to run, however, with the road being much harder than a treadmill, it kills my ankle. The cartilage/liquid in my ankle is barely there since I broke it, so its more so, bone on bone but once the gyms open back up I want to get back to lifting!

    You should look into road cycling. It still stresses your body in different ways but it's a lot easier on the joints. I've done a lot of training in the military (Ranger School, Airborne, many unit training events and hundreds of miles of rucking), and my knees and back are pretty worn out, and even though I enjoy running, cycling has given me that endurance outlet without the stress on my joints since its low impact. I love to lift and Crossfit, too, and fortunately my job gets me access to the gyms, but cycling is a great endurance option.

    @"Thought this was the GMAT" I will look into it, I never even considered it an option before. I thought the bikes and helmet and shoes and stuff were crazy expensive, but I did some googling and there are not nearly as expensive as I thought, I think a used bike would be fine for me to see if I actually like doing it before I plunge head first in. I do like challenges that push my bodies endurance and mental toughness.

    Great. Totally agree, definitely start with something used. You’re going to wipe out, that’s inevitable, so better on a starter used bike than a brand new Bianchi. If you have any questions shoot me a DM.

    I had probably a good week after my LSAT. Than it was worry about my score. After I got my score, it was worrying about whether I'd get a offer. Once I got my offer, the most worrisome of them all, was thinking of law school and the road ahead as a lawyer.
