apparently law school = suicide
The weekend was.....interesting. We'll leave it at that....interesting.
Went down to Indy to help Emily switch apartments on Sunday. It made me all pumped to live by myself. The more I think about it, the less weird it seems and the more excited I get. I was talking to Frany and she didn't get why I was so pumped to live by myself and the only way I could explain it to her was that it was just the next step in the equation for me I think. I mean come on...everyone knows how rushed I am to grow up. And everyone knows how independent I am...it just makes sense. Not that I don't love living with roommates right now, don't get me wrong at all. I just think that while I'm in law school, I should be living by myself...it just seems like the thing to do.
Speaking of law school, I went to a panel of legal professionals tonight to hear them discuss things like law schools, LSATs, job opportunities, clerking, and just about everything else. I'm not going to lie to you, it was definitely a downer. I mean, I knew going into this situation that I'd have to be the cream of the crop to get into law school but I guess I was kidding myself kind of. I mean, I'm thinking about applying to huge, selective schools and expecting to get in while they're stupid shitty schools in Indy that get thousands of applications and only accept about 300 people. What the fuck am I getting myself into!? The panel also made it abundantly clear that law school meant no social life, no money, and no friends. Not to mention the fact that when it comes down to it, 90% of people get jobs through networking...not how well they did in law school. Which is all great and good for people who have networks, but let's be serious - I'm from Redford, my parents are lame, my family is tiny, and I just don't know a lot of people, so networking is only going to get me so far. I mean, I understand that it's early and I haven't even been to law school yet or done an internship or anything like that but it's still so discouraging to begin with. I'm hardcore having second thoughts about wanting to go to law school. Before when I wanted to be a lawyer, law school was the only option no matter what...but now, I don't want to be a lawyer...in fact, I don't know what I want to do so I was only going to go to law school because you can basically do anything with a law degree but if I could just figure out what it is exactly that I want to do then I could just go to grad school somewhere for whatever and save myself a ton of money.
I find it ironic that I'm in such a hurry to grow up all the time yet I don't have any concrete plans for the future. None whatsoever....is that normal?
