Do you have a training contract lined up (providing you want to pursue a career in law) and if not, are you planning on applying to a lot of grad schemes this year?
Year one content was more interesting, but second year was better. Better because I got to live with my friends and I finally got the hang of things (e.g what study habits work for me, where everything's, established friends, revision techniques, etc).

No TC as of yet; I honestly underestimated how competitive it really is. I've managed to get to interview stages but no luck past that yet. So yeah I'm still going to apply to a lot of grad schemes, but now I'm not just considering straight law but other areas too (e.g. Finance, business, etc sort of areas).
What is the biggest 'life lesson' you've learnt during university?
That not everyone is a friend for life just because you've been friends for ages. I genuinely thought that some people from home I would be friends with when I was back but it just hasn't worked out that way (e.g. Uni has meant me and my best friend of 13+ years have grown apart). So what I'm really saying is years don't determine who is a better/true friend. There's friends I've made at uni that I feel will be in it for the long haul despite only knowing them for 2 years now.
