I'm a first year law student and I like to think that I have a life. I spent a lot of time going out early on in the semester (too much of a laid back appraoch lol) and wished that I spent more time studying but I'm still sitting on high C's. I'm planning to spend some more time studying next semester but have no doubt that I will still have time to do other things. I guess it just depends on how well you manage your time and what kind of grades you want. It's always good to have balance though.

First semester at uni was quiet overwhelming but you get used to it after you settle in. I have about 12 contact hours per week which I spread out over 4 days, however, next semester I will only be at uni 2 days per week. You do need to do a fair bit of reading but most of the time I don't read all my prescribed cases as I should. It has been stressful at times but that's just with any study you do really.
