So you’re thinking about taking the bar exam in Florida? Well, me too. The idea of having to take another bar exam is absolutely terrifying to me. I write for Bar Exam Toolbox, Law School Toolbox, and A Girl’s Guide to Law School mostly on the topic of being positive in the face of stress. But, I have to say, just thinking about sitting for another bar exam, gives me actual, visible, hives. 
People decide to “go it alone” for bar prep 
It’s time to channel your inner Rocky and jump in front of a mirror. It’s time to go crazy with the post-it notes on your bathroom mirror. Light some candles. Hit the treadmill. Crack open that brand new agenda you spent way too much money on but, “it’s worth it because it has a kitten on the front!” Go ahead, do all of these things and more because the season you are about to embark on is not for the unprepared. Welcome to the weeks before your bar examination studying begins. And if you’re like me, welcome to the 24 hours between graduation and Day 1. May the odds be ever in your favor. 
As I write this I keep hearing that lyric “mo’ money, mo’ problems.” Yet, during bar preparation I had nearly no money and a bar study problem. At the outset, I would like the record to reflect I am in no way an expert on how to manage money. This article comes simply from my finger tips to your eyes as someone who penny and dimed it during bar prep.
