Well, I'm finally getting serious about these personal statements. So, of course, that means there is some serious procrastination going on - the likes of which have not been seen since the days of 10 page papers on James Madison. This procrastination has not exactly inspired me to continue on. Instead, I've been reading advice for 0Ls and it is making me want to hide in a hidey hole so hidey no one will ever find me. (0L's are students who are going to law school, 1L's are first year law students, etc.)
I'm hearing about everything from videos about how law school is like high school, including rumors about everyone's sex lives to petty comments about the choice of briefcase and wardrobe (but we all know I won't have a problem with that), to stupid remarks about how law school is a useless, terrible choice unless you get into a Top School. I know the latter is just wrong. But still, way to play on my insecurities. I guess I should just take this as confirmation that I should stick with my previous top choice school. It is the best fit for me in terms of lifestyle, and frankly, I WILL be happy. I refuse to play the "too stressed to have a life/friends/relationships" game. Obviously I'll be busy, but it seems like some of these people use how stressed they are as a barometer for how cool they are. (For the record - SUPER cool.)
Breathe and release. Gotta concentrate on getting in first. Back to trying to be different than the 1.4 million other jerks writing this same freakin' paper.
