Our kids are all grown up and are heading off to college. Instead of a dorm or residence hall, they’ve decided they want to get an apartment.

This is good because you can focus on what you want to practice—law—but the classes will go into a lot more depth than your previous college classes did.

The Importance of Balancing Personal Life and Studying
The most commonly used phrase “have a work-life balance” is very rarely achieved, even by seasoned professionals across the world.
