I'm having a major life crisis.
On Monday I went to a Pre-Law meeting and the speaker scared me to death. I feel like I should have started studying for the LSATs about 2 years ago. I don't need to take the test until the end of Junior year, but it doesn't seem that far off. I just looked at a practice exam, and it's one of those tests where every single one of the answers looks exactly the same. The speaker said that even of the people who scored a 180 of 180 on the exam there was a 15-20% guessing average. I don't think I'm going to get a 180 so what does that mean about my guessing average? In order for Law schools even really look at your application I need to get at least a 150 on the LSAT and have a 3.0 cumulative GPA. As it is I already spend every night at the library and I feel like I'm not getting anything accomplished.
On top of all that I need to start doing more volunteer work and get in more philanthropy hours for Pi Phis. I'm terrified about applying for the NY internship, which means that I haven't yet and probably won't get it. I'm scared about living completely alone in a new state if I DO get it, but the prospect of suffering through another summer in Roselle makes me ill.
What am I going to do with an English degree if I don't go to law school? I'm banking on the fact that I will get in, but if I don't what on earth will I do with myself. I'm going to declare Pre-Law at the end of the semester, but I should probably declare a minor too. But what am I supposed to minor in; Facebook...maybe Napping? So many people are switching majors lately; it's not that I want to switch at all, but if I was completely down and out in the one I've got I can't even imagine what I'd transfer into.
Life is not fabulous at the moment.
I am looking forward to three things: The backpack I ordered last night, Cancun for spring break, and most of all HAPPY HOUR on Friday. I need to drown my sorrows in about a million glasses of beer.
