Jae Wakeling is a first-year student at Loyola Law School — she works full-time as a paralegal while attending Loyola’s hybrid evening program.
As spring semester finals rapidly approach, it means it’s time for me to buckle down and finish my outlines. But after that, it will be summer!
As an evening student, that means more of fall and spring semester for me. In the Loyola hybrid program, the summers between the first couple of years are also spent taking classes (albeit, for a condensed eight weeks). This upcoming summer, I will be taking Constitutional Law on Monday and Wednesday nights. I am really excited for this course as I am really interested in civil rights litigation and want to learn more about it. This summer I will also be continuing to work my full-time job as a paralegal.
The benefit of this schedule is that I’m already in a good groove in terms of my weekly schedule, and nothing much will have to change when summer starts. I also still get a break between July 13 (my Con Law final) and the start of my 2nd year fall semester (August 17), so I will still be refreshed before starting with Criminal Law, Property, and Legislation and Regulation.
During that approximate month off from school, I have a two-week long military training, and then I will probably take some time to travel with my family. See you next year!
