Law School is not everything.

Law school is not everything.

Law school is not everything.

Law school is not everything.

I feel like I need to start writing standards across a chalkboard or chant this mantra before I go to bed at night. Because law school is taking over my life!!!

My fuse has been exceptionally short lately, and I find myself making law school foremost over everything—kicking family, friends, and my overall well-being to the curb.  I find myself cutting conversations short or snapping at family or friends who ask for my time or help.  My mentality is “how dare they intrude on my precious study time.”  

JERK!!!

As seriously as I take my education and career, it’s simply not worth being imbecilic towards my family and friends.

So, I had dinner and a venting session with a friend on Friday night instead of preparing for exams (which aren’t for two months, in any case—but dude, people at school are already getting ready, and that just makes you paranoid).

I sat with my mom and just listened to her talk about her own stress-filled day, fighting the urge to drop hints that I’m busy (avoiding eye contact, flipping through my textbook, etc), as I used to do.

I booked a flight for a weekend trip to St. Louis two weeks from now.  I miss my boyfriend.  Texting does not equal a relationship.

Screw midterms. They’re important, but not that important.

If you catch me being a jerk, please slap me and say “Law school is not everything. You jerk.” (You have to add the “jerk” part)

I promise, I won’t sue you for battery.
