How r u dear
Elena, where you see yourself in 10 years ?
By the way, you have beautiful face.
Stay strong.
Heyyy Elena!
Enjoying the video a lot ! Also can you please tell us what software you're using for making notes? It doesn't seem to be Microsoft Word office.
Thanks
And be safe !
“I sometimes get up at 4.... cause I’m a morning person”
*Me* : girl that’s nighttime
Haha
Amy Or Not when exam period I wake up at 3 am
ClaryFlynn98 and I thought waking up at six was hard
@@clary98 How do you survive that? At what time do you go to sleep?
Lisan gils I usually have dinner around 20 and go to sleep like a half an hour later or so. Where I live the normal hour for dinner is 21 and you go to sleep around 22
She is literally Hermione Granger in real life.
Rushes over to the library whenever possible
Yep, your comment made me laugh. She also has curly brown hair. Hermione would be right at home in her shoes.
Come on, I even skipped classes to go to the library at uni. 😂
exactly what i was thinking ☠️
But still she is beautiful
Herminie is NOT some basic American white girl don’t even compare this English wannabe to herminie
She didn’t have a lecture until 11 and woke up at 4......
I probably woke up at 11.10
Woke up at 4 in order to make videos for her youtube channel
Lol I'd probably wake up at 10:55 nothing to be proud of tho
I wish I could be like her but I'm Just not a morning person
@@ritikadatta6078
There must be way
i would have gotten up at 10:30 lmao
Ok but, considering there was NO ONE else in the library at 5am I reckon that's not how the majority of law students in Cambridge behaves...
so you can't be an individual and think for yourself and do what you want? You have to follow the crowd?
@@maneskinnnnn7190 of course you can. :) she seems like a great and determined student highly likely to succeed. I just meant it's probably not representing the day of the average Cambridge student. ;)
@@maneskinnnnn7190 La rissa just meant that Elena's lifestyle is not average among students, and people shouldn't jump to conclusions by thinking that every Cambridge student behaves like Elena.
Why is the library even open at 5 a.m.?
Vanessa Ives my uni had 24hrs library too, people like to study at different times
Me: *clicks on video as a Cambridge student interested to see how similar our lives are*
First shot of video: *alarm going off of at 4am*
Me: ok nope nothing similar
I get to sleep at four
Keep in mind not all Cambridge students do this! I woke up at 7/8 and went to bed at 11 consistently at Cambridge and came out with a great grade / didn’t have the same struggles as elena! :)
😂
Watching this makes me more depressed of my future life. I barely want to do homework, this seems like a repetitive nightmare.
Dw I’m a Cambridge student I slept at 5 and I woke up at 3pm
Hogwarts looks different here
Glasgow unis hogwarts
I was thinking the same thing 🙂
I think so
They used 3 different castles that’s why it looks a bit different
согласен
Giiiiirl WHY IN THE WORLD are you torturing yourself with that duck alarm sound?!?!?!
jp IKR? My bf uses this alarm and when he is staying over at my place and this alarm goes off i feel like throwing his phone out the window, its so bad
jp it’s so bad that it makes a really good alarm because there’s no way you’re going to sleep through that
I actually love it because it makes me laugh every time I hear it. I use it for my medication alarm in the evening and sometimes I’ll be in the library and forget I have it set until my backpack starts a-quacking away. Sometimes I’ll even have my headphones plugged into my computer and therefore completely oblivious to my duck-in-a-bag until someone comes to point it out. It makes people laugh every time and people always tell me it makes their day.
😂😂😂😂
She probably hates the sound and that makes her get up even faster
If I walked at 5 o clock to the library, I would continue to sleep there.
😂😂😂
I completely agree with you... library is so quiet and it’s the best place to sleep 😂👌🏻
@@rahaghorbanpour563 😂
😂😂😳
I thought same 🤣
can there just be one of these "day in the life" things where the person is an incompetent mess like me
exactly what i need too😭
I was waiting for this comment 😂😂😂
something like them waking up with a few minutes until lecture starts, checking the syllabus to see how heavily attendance is counted for that class, deciding to skip, sleeping for a few more hours, etc.
I could probably make one. Wake up at 10am. Somehow end up wasting 2 hours. Start a reading for a seminar, get bored and watch a Khan Academy video on it. I envy people that are organised
same this was far more productive of a day than any day in my life
Her: “7 pages of notes, could’ve done more...😔”
Me: “Yeah I wrote a sentence.”
Anna Cabello
I wrote 1 things and make my gave me 73% wtf
As a person who writes schematically and prefers to make as simplified notes as possible (being concise af), I was legit triggered by hearing 7 pages of notes. 😂
Me laughing in Asian
Literally I would be like wrote a sentence - been so productive today - yay for me
Quality over quantity
Wakes up at 4:00am. Automatically knew this video was not for me
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
She went to the library 3 times in one day.... I haven't been to a library in months...
I haven't been to a library...
what is library ?
@@user-xw8ly3ih8u it's a place where you find books to read ect..
@@user-xw8ly3ih8u Hello there, library = مكتبة
I need your energy, your productivity, and your nails
Lydia Nicole same tho.. this video makes me feel like shit lmao
exactly..
That’s why she’s at Cambridge and we are not 🤣
and no offense but MONEY.
Exactly :))
Why am I watching this instead of studying?
because we want some input to be more productive 😹
Its kinda motivational
Same! I happen to be a Law student But seems like a lazy one.
same omg
Motivation
I like how other student youtubers show their vegan smoothies and university gyms while filming a "A day in the life of a student". Meanwhile, you showed the purest form of student life: studying all day long. I love it!
Wakes up at 4, studies, eats a muffin for breakfast, studies again and then doesn’t eat until lunch ??? HOW.
I would starve and think about food all day lol 😂
This is the difference between a psycho and a normal person
You must the normal person😂😂
Hahah omg she clearly is psycho who does this?! 😂
Shoot I keep spelling it wrong
She weights approximately 45 Kilos what do you think?
thank God. i thought I'm the only one who thinks about her food.. how could she live like that? 🙄 if I'm going die without food 😂😂
I’m a Law student, but if I studied that much, I’d probably be crazy...
Same!
Guess that’s why you’re not in Cambridge 🤔
@@alexandraa.9986 that's right, I'm not mad about it tough :)
Girl same. I finished my LLB and LLM and I woke up an hour before class.😂😂😂
Alexandra A. Guess what: Studying Law is hard everywhere, because its the same topics at every university 🤷🏼♀️ so maybe stop being so judgemental?
You do more in one day than I do in one semester
True
AF
That is SO true I wish I can do all this work in one day
She does more in 1 day than Ive done in a LIFETIME . ( from an early life lottery winner .....which has made me lazy).
@@chas453 lucky you! Which lottery?
Finally... A day in the life of Hermione Granger. ✌️
To night owls: I used to be exactly that person who goes to sleep at 4 am until some things forced me to get up at that time (not super frequently, but still). Before that I thought it impossible to wake up so early. But I found out that waking up at 4 or 5 am is actually so much easier for me than say at 7 or 8. I have a theory, that it's easier precisely because 4am is still kind of night time, so it actually doesn't interfere that much with being a night owl because you still get a few hours without sun and people. At least that is how it works for me. But the most important thing - I get SO MUCH done in such days it's insane when compared to other days. I know everyone is different and I certainly don't imply everyone should wake up at 4am, but I just wanted to share my experience :)
I agree with this 100%, I only started waking up early when I heard someone say that most people aren't actually night owls, it's just that the human body is extremely good at adapting to circumstances. So now I wake up generally around 5 or 5:30, latest by 6 or 6:30 and I haven't felt this productive ever before
I'm a morning person so I wake up at 4am
me: um that's still night
😂
Zeynep Yörük 😅
Maxi Nyandoro no it’s not
++)
Elena: I am a morning person so I sometimes wake up at 4am
Nobody:
Me: I go to bed at 4am🙃😂😂
I wake up at 4, it's actually a good advice because you have so much more concentration.
Trust me. It's not just you

@@ellize1998 can you explain? 😕
omg same my sleep schedule is so messed up that even when I try to sleep early I can't 😔
I’m a medicine student and I sometimes wake up at the same hour, it’s a pretty good hour to study. I wish I have more time to study but I’m at classes from 7 am to 8 pm. I think organizing our time is the most difficult part of being a student.
Ohhhh Mariana thats my worst problem, medstudents don’t hv the a lot of time
Hello
Is no one gonna talk about how nice her dorm room is
But are there windows?
The domestic arrangements at Cambridge are indeed most agreeable. Most of the colleges are pretty wealthy, and they know how to spend it tastefully.
When ur school doesn’t even open at 5am T.T
Crying Waff out uni libraries literally open at 8am
Jimin Suga sadly a lot of libraries in Singapore don’t open at 5am! Actually majority of them only open at 10am 😞 (This is also due to the fact that our public transport system only starts at 530am)
Crying Waff same here
@@jiminsuga5803 In my uni it is 8:30 am on Monday to Saturday
In my uni there is a 24H Library
I'm -preparing for university life-
watching a vlog of a student from a university I'll never get in
Me Too, im not even in that country, im from Argentina.
Sofia Lancioni I’m from Uruguay, I will never be accept in this kind of universities, you know but I would love to
@@user-re6wy9gz1b a mi me pasa lo mismo, es una sensación agridulce,porque por un lado me gusta ver estos videos, pero por el otro se que nunca voy a poder ir a esas universidades tan buenas y eso me deprime.

it sounds european but not british
I am honestly in awe? You are so productive and diligent, and show this with such genuine vibes, it's really encouraging!! I love learning/studying but i have problem focusing and not zoning out and this video made me feel so motivated to do something productive! Thank you 💕
her: eats a cupcake for breakfast
me: eats almost 3 bowls of cereal
this is the way I heard it: I wasn't feeling well that day so i decided to go to the libRARY BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS MY MORE PRODUCTIVE SPOT.
omg I want my day to look like that but then... I procrastinate the whole day and the whole day is over
i could never never never wake up this early to study and study in that outfit lol. even jeans are to uncomfortable i usually wear sweatpants :D
Positive peer pressure is a cure for procrastination.
Being a law student is definitely a hard career choice. I respect how she works hard for it and could imagine the amount of studying and reading and knowledge you need for Law its crazy. Ngl you have great discipline keep it up :) fyi i would still not wake up at 4am. xdd
Thank you so much :)
yah. i’m the kinda law student that binges netflix and eats chips 24/7. some of us are lazy shits ☺️
I would like to have your preview and recommendation on this, for a good chance to abridge the present conditions prevailing in India. By doing something great, silently enhancing knowledge.Hence, why to loose an #opportunity for aspirants for doing some extraordinary #cybercrime & #Forensics course.

@@mattea83 hahahah same, but if it works - it works!
when you watched "How to get away with murder"
this empty library looks like a perfect set for an horror movie ahaha
anyways, I just finished my PhD in Law a few months ago and yet I admire your discipline so much !! I wish I had so much energy and motivation !
I love seeing different university libraries because they're all so different! This library has a tea room? That's unreal! My university has therapy dogs in the foyer to help us destress 😂
Where is you university?😍😂
Omg😭
Maybe really TMI but when I wake up at 4 AM, my digestion system doesn't have enough time to reset and I feel awful the rest of the day
• Caroline • same here! My body feels fine when i wake up around 7am but any time before that, it just messes up my whole body 😔
same! my stomach feels gassy and sick the whole day
@@maneskinnnnn7190 I'm glad I'm not the only one, although I wouldn't wish it on anyone 😂😂
When I first started waking up that early the same happened to me and it’s horrible. How I dealt with this was have an early dinner and make sure I’m getting enough sleep
Here we see a morning person in it’s natural habitat.
The library bookshelves look endless. I’m in love 😍
Why does she use pen for underlining in a book. Thats painful for a bookworm :D
Rumina Egova when you read the book second time, underlining helps a lot
@@kubradonmez5497 why would you reread the book?? Worst thing you can do for revision, massive waste of time
geodude20 if you are studying law, you should read important books second time. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get more than C 😂 if you want to get A, A+, books and notes should be read third times. I use color coordinated highlighter for the first time, black pen for the second time, and for third red pen☺️
@@kubradonmez5497 Not true at all! If you study law, you're better off reading once, creating revision cards as you go so that you can do active recall (learn by testing yourself) and spaced repetition (continuously testing yourself over long intervals). Re-reading has been proven to be a less effective technique when revising, you are simply wasting time.
Ive been doing this since Alevels and its worked wonders for me! Its an approach a lot of medical students also use. You should try it, it will cut the amount of work you have to do in half! Why work hard when you can work smart?
Sidenote: it always baffles me how schools never seem to prioritise teaching students the best ways to learn, and retain information. If I knew the techniques I know now, I'd have saved myself hours of time in high school. Should be compulsory classes early on teaching kids how to revise properly!
Well I’m law student as well and i study each subject 3 times, one time reading it like a magazine, sec time studying and focusing on it, third time memorizing and underlining to remember the imp notes , it helps a lot
The orange skirt and blazer you were wearing was so cute!! I spy The Starless Sea. Such a good book. I relate to getting up early so you’re more productive. Have a good week!!!
Thank you and yes the book is amazing! Wishing you a great week🤗
@@ElenaHandtrack what do you do to satisfy yourself?
This is so me 10 years ago my dear. Im from malaysia and studied in ireland and got my medical degree. I used to sleep at 10 ish and wake up by 4.30 to study 😊
@Paavani Mysore discipline is key, revision, ward rounds & having good seniors to support you. U must have the passion to do medicine.
For a moment it felt like you are the only person who uses the library
3:14 i thought the walls are actually mirror and i was like, "where is she? why cant i see her????" And had a panic attack thinking you were invisible for a second. Now i feel kinda dumb
hahahahha
as if you had a panic attack over that
stupid f*ck🤣
@@aguu191 ever heard the word 'joke'?
@@mayajunor-sheppard2715 i was kidding..?
1:35 did I just witness Azkaban ??
This video is amazing because it completely shows your life in the campus, such as your schedule, the places where you usually go, and so on, although some places are skipped and cannot be recorded. Also, the music is great as it lets me relax after a long-time studying.
While I am studying, I also usually write and post articles on my website/blog in my free time, which is useful to take a rest.
As I am a Chinese senior high student, exploring the college/university students’ life and routine is vital as it will be useful in the future.
I hope you take breaks. Waking up that early every day and doing this amount of studying was the reason for my burn out. Take care!!
So happy you’re back and feeling a little bit better 🐰💕 sending you so much love xxx
Thank you so much🤗
Did you actually speed read while reading the book?
i noticed that you´re reading with your pen thats actually
recommended for speed reading, just curious
Going to the library this early seems so peaceful. My library opens at 9 am and closes 6pm sharp.
The enthusiasim of being a university student. I miss this version of myself
Girl same 😔
So excited for your new vlog! Glad you're back🥰
I wish I was a morning person! I find myself doing all my most focused work at 2am hehe
I'm a law aspirant, and you blog fueled me up with so much positive energy and excitement 😍 God bless you❤️ you're super inspiring😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗
Finally found someone who wakes up early, sleeps early and is most productive in library. I used to do the same during my time in univ and all my friends use to think Im weird.
Life is always with so many challenges but the haven is lying behind them! I am happy to see you doing better
Everytime I watch a video of yours I’m inspired. Thank you so much and I hope you’re doing well.
Thank you so much🤗
7 page of notes is not so much
Me :
Not even holding the pen during lessons
Her: Wakes up at 4
Me: Staying awake at 4
Your videos always challenge me to stretch myself.
Your lifestyle is worthy of emulation. Thanks Elena.
Wow, I really admire your ambition! I would not be able to do a fraction of your workload so I am just another super impressed stranger. I hope (and am sure) you will reach all your goals and wish you all the best :)
I love how at @6:22 in your hour of "downtime" you begin writing a blog post. Thanks for your video - inspired!
Hey Elena, very inspiring video! I really thought long and hard about studying law after I finished school and it´s still in the back of my mind. Obviously, studying law at Cambridge is such am amazing achievement! I hope that everything goes well for you and that you never forget to also take enough time out to take care of your mental health. I bet that´s pretty hard considering the massive workload. I have just started my youtube channel and will be spending a semester at the University of Birmingham starting in September so I can´t wait to get to experience one of England´s universities first hand.
Ahhhhhhh your skin is looking so clear and glowy, I love that for you 🥺
4am? Omg girl i wake up at 5 and feel still sleepy in the Afternoon. You go girl💜
I would literally just stare at all the architecture and gilded doors and the library. It would be heaven.
You are such an inspiration! I wish I were as productive as you are, I will try my best for sure!
I’d love you to do a video about how you note take, revise, study etc. 😍❤️
Hi! Thank you for the video idea - I’m planning to do a video about my notes soon!
I’d feel so scared being in a library alone at like 4:30 am so all respect for you for being that dedicated xx
So happy to see you back
Loved this ! Made me miss my time in Cambridge even more.
looks like hogwarts😍🥰
Selina H. Yh
Yeah it does look like a castle too
You inspire me. You're so productive.
I'm inspired when I see how you live your life. Thank you.
It’s really weird seeing your footage from inside because I live relatively near Cambridge and have only seen it from the outside.
Really happy to see that you’re doing better!! Also really digging the outfit:)
Thank you so much🤗
I was looking for some motivation and this video worked !! Thank you so much for sharing this vlog :)
I went to a Canadian law school. While I didn't get up at 4 do to readings, I did get up at 5 to get to the library and do readings before class. Reasons for this are 1) knowing your productive time and 2) the sheer amount of readings you do with a full course load in law school. It comes with the territory!
when this gets recommended to me right after i finish radio silence........
I'm wondering what app do you use to take notes, they look so organised!
3:45 uuh I think I'll start doing the same, after every hour of reading I take extremely long breaks, maybe I'll be able to concentrate more if I switch to taking notes after a while.
I miss libraries, it was a lot easier to not get distracted in libraries
So inspiring! I won’t be waking up that early but for sure I will try a earlier routine.
Wishing you the very best in your new semester and take good care of yourself! 🌹
Thank you🤗
The dorm looks scary though😱😱
It's wonderful out there, I love the library, and you really look beautiful. It must be great to study and learn as much as possible in such a beautiful university. Learning is such a blessing 🙏💐Greetings from Germany 💖
Elena is German
Woah! Discipline is key and you have that! Amazing, you go girl! 👏
At uni whilst I was living in the halls of accommodation I would get up at 11:05 for a 11:15 lecture. I hate myself
What book were you reading? I wanna get a head start 😂
That campus architecture is stunning. I am from the U.S. & new to this channel.
Your vlog makes me inspired to study hard.
I never used to like getting up early (defo not a morning person), however, ever since starting third year I've become quite fond of waking up early, going to the gym and getting started on my uni work by 10am (this is a big difference to my first two years where I would really work until past lunchtime). I then enjoy finishing my work earlier and having more down time in the evenings and getting more sleep! Even though I don't think I could get up at 4/5 am, 6:30am is defo early enough for me! X
What made you change? I currently have an awful sleeping pattern and would love to become a morning person as I feel it would make me so much more of a productive person
Sophie a friend of mine made it clear to me that changes like this - going from a night owl to a morning person - is totally possible and its a change that you can make suddenly , it’s just that often times we don’t wanna make those changes so we sort of hold ourselves back. To start waking up earlier you have to change what you do at night, that means changing your schedule so that you finish what u need to do earlier or just stopping yourself even if u haven’t finished your to do list or whatever. It’s a hard change but it’s completely possible.
Sophie I knew going into third year the work load would be too much if I didn't structure my time abit better than I had been before - as for getting up early, I just decided to try it one day and see how I felt, even though I was super tired I ended up naturally going to bed earlier due to my sleepiness and it naturally became my routine. What I usually do is stop working around 5/6 (depending on what I am doing), make my dinner and have an hour or so just to chill, read a book or watch Netflix or something, then I go to bed usually around 9:30pm/10pm and try to wake up around 6:30...sometimes it best just to try it and see how you feel because you never know!!
Hi Elena, sorry if this has been asked/mentioned before but what software do you use for your notes? Thanks.
Hi! I use Pages by Apple!
I knew this was gonna be a nice video when I saw the starless sea on the table.
All the best in your endeavours!!!
I am a first year law student, with 2 boys, 6 years old and a 4 month old baby. I am also a working mom. I am excited to continue my law school journey and to finally get the title "Atty.
