controversial, but...
... why not get a job? that gives you structure AND money... AND a better cv...

I've got a placement coming up shortly.
And I work for my aunt whenever I can depending on how busy she is (could work every day for three weeks and then once in three weeks).
Oh and I just lie on my CV. A lot.

Yeah I agree.
My mate emailed some Japanese bank out of the blue a couple months ago despite them not taking anyone on. They hired him because they liked him being proactive, the jammy cunt's getting £800 a week. He would have done it for free.
But aye I've got a placement sorted that's directly related to my degree, and they said I can go back each summer as long as I'm not a knobhead. I've got to worm my way in there, whilst also hiding the fact I am indeed a massive knobhead.

I can't help thinking some sort of law education probably helped too
