Success without Stress
The LSS is proud to present the first in our series of Mental Health Seminars: Success without Stress.
Law school often seems like an insurmountable pile of assignments, reading, applications, and extracurricular activities. So it’s important to look after your mental health or it can impact your life in a way that even watching too many episodes of Sarah Palin’s Alaska will not.
