You're Crashing, But You're No Wave

So, when this is all over, I guess you can say that I’ll take the next step to becoming a full-fledged adult. I mean, I’ve technically been an adult for a while now, but self-admittedly, I’ve just been living within the delectable boundaries of having the freedom of an adult without having the complete and total responsibility of an adult.

But you can’t just wake up one day and decide to start being an adult—trust me, I’ve tried.

Maybe that’s another reason I’ve decided to do law school.

I want to test a theory of mine. See, I’ve never really done *horribly* in school—usually, I just do the bare minimum required in order to pass (with some generally unimpressive marks). So, in law school, I want to see whether or not this little cycle is broken under the immense pressure and difficulty that comes with the journey.

But back to the point at hand—I suppose getting a career straight out of the gate would put me on the fast track to adulthood, but I’m thinking that it’ll be a bit overwhelming at first.

Let’s be clear—in the way I do school, I can afford to get by without studying. School isn’t objectively hard, and you generally get what you put into it. Law school is a bit different, though, with your ability to succeed is directly contingent on your rank against all your fellow students.

I’m thinking about the future and how my life will change alongside my postgraduate studies, and I’m not sure whether I’m feeling excited or terrified.

The LSAT is pretty serious business from what I can tell, and people on r/LSAT are literally casually admitting to studying several hours a day, like, 6 months in advance for the test.

That

Is

CRAZY

But you know, what kind of man would I be if I didn’t rise to the occasion? How could I truly be satisfied if I didn’t tackle the seemingly-impossible?

I owe it to myself.

I think I’m going to cut this post a bit short because I need to write some material for the JDC on Friday. Expect another post tomorrow maybe? I probably won’t post on Thursday, as the class that precedes my sandwich of free time is cancelled that day.

Take it easy
