I went to Disney and became inspired

Hey everyone,
So I know I disappeared for awhile - don't hate me, but I'm back! After really weighing it out, i've decided to do the September exam for a couple reasons. Mainly, I genuinely believe I can get the score I want. But the anxiety came when I went to Disney World for two days (a long time planned vacation). I honestly thought I would have no motivation to study and would see a significant decrease in my score. Instead, I'm genuinely refreshed and inspired. It's like a finally have room in my brain and everything is starting to really stick. I really thought I was going to be exhausted (5 am morning till 2 am the next morning and I managed to do completely do 3 parks in one day) but instead i'm totally recharged. My LR skills seemed to have sharpened and become really reliable. So to anyone right now feeling totally burnt out - TAKE A BREAK! A full out break, where you don't think about the LSAT and do something FUN. You will not regret it.
A little LSAT inspiration post for those of us hard at work!

Good luck in September
Thanks Alex! I use to read how you guys would take a break and come back better - It's really true!
I always found it to be a bit counter intuitive myself; however, once I experienced how refreshed and focused I was after I break, I began taking at least one day off per week and a weekend off per month.
This is such good advice. It seems counterintuitive, but taking breaks, hanging out with friends, and relaxing can make major differences. I love it.
That's a great idea in all honesty. I'm going to do that myself. I also think the excess of exercise helped as well. My activity watch said I had over 35,000 steps over the course of the day and I slept for 9 hours straight lol.
I've never been to Disney World, but I live right down the street from Disneyland in Cali. Sometimes I can hear the fireworks going off when I'm trying to study
. I'm a huge proponent of taking breaks as well. Sometimes you need a mental break from LSAT trauma.
It makes a world of difference. Like i'm currently creaming a RC section - THATS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
A break for the LSAT trauma is a real and necessary thing. If you ever get the chance to go to Disney World, you should! It's much bigger and has a very immersive feeling. Though hearing fire works would annoy me lol!
disney<3
Will do! It's definitely on my list of places to visit.
I went there in 2010 for my high school senior field trip! I had a great time but I could really use a vacation .... I kinda want to go, like, now!
Man, that's an awesome senior class trip. I think I went to Knott's Berry Farm
(it's the Cooley of theme parks)
What are friends....
LMAO "The Cooley of theme parks"
Yeah, it was actually pretty awesome now that I think back to it.
six flags great adventure in NJ is dabes ever
fight me
Just a guess, but I think friends are those people that we used to see and talk to before the LSAT ruined all of our lives.
I was such a fun person before the LSAT came into my life
What is fun?
no damn clue...
Fun = getting through an RC section without crying and/or cursing.
logic games are kinda fun, I guess (????????) O_O
Ohhhh okay. Yeah, I have not had fun in awhile.
I got a computer virus from them and then my score went to crap
yeah same...eileen gray gave me a virus.. should've used protection, that whore..
Did you lacquer all over her table?
I STILL don't even know what kinda "art" that is...

@TheMikey @LSATcantwin @Freddy_D @"Alex Divine" I leave for like three hours and come back to 19 notifications boys.
Haha! I can totally relate to this. That and what is a husband?
because that individual in the picture above is evil, and that chair up above kills people.
just something to be aware of. oh and she gave me a virus
@Victoria14 I am going to Florida for a wedding next weekend and you're giving me MAJOR ideas
DO IT! I SWEAR! If you go, let me know what park you land at and i'll let you know on what the MUSTS are because i'm fresh on the best food options lol
Loll you're winning at fun breaks. I'm from Central FL and I haven't done Disney in a while. At first, I was reluctant to take breaks too but having fun really makes a difference. Stress can be really bad for brain function and ultimately our LSAT performance.
Amen! I went on a 5-day trip to Hong Kong for a wedding and came back more motivated than ever! I was so burnt out and worried before the break but so thankful for it after!
