Christmas wish list for the broke law student

The City Law School , .

The school year is half way through, and you are feeling so broke you’re eating the gum from under the tables (not recommended). Here are the top ten gifts you should be asking for at Christmas to get you through the rest of the year.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is:
1. An iron set. An iron is the last thing on any student’s mind as it can be time consuming. However, you want to make sure your outfits are pristine before walking into a law firm. Plus it can be very therapeutic!
2. Noise cancelling headphones. They are not only trendy but they will do you wonders when trying to study in a noisy environment for your final exams!
3. Wireless charger. Makes it easier to charge your electronic devices in public without the added stress of watching your device charge at a plug outlet across the lecture room.
4. Gift cards! Food gift cards and clothing gift cards are good ideas as they can be used throughout the semester.
5. A day of pampering. After all the stress from study you deserve time for yourself. So treat yourself!
6. Tickets to an event. Sometimes you have to say no to something you really want to attend because you know you can’t afford it, so let someone else get it for you.
7. Part of your transport fare. Are you staying home a lot because the cost of transportation is adding up? Suggest to your loved ones that they top up your Oyster card.
8. Smart wear. You will need suits and proper business attire in the law firm, not your best clothes that you wear clubbing.
9. Subscriptions. Get someone to pay for your amazon prime membership or your Netflix account. Just don’t Netflix too much; keep up on that reading!
10. New shoes. The damp London weather might do some damage to some of your nice shoes. You will need them for interviews and you want them to be comfortable with proper arch support to keep your back aligned. Especially since most students hunch over a desk all semester.

Thank-you for your consideration Santa.
