The Long Road Ahead

It is month 3 in quarantine and I am still healthy at home. Cabin fever has set in and the LSAT-Flex has been made official. I have experienced a lot of highs and lows emotionally during this time. I guess COVID-19 has made me realize I needed to make more time for things that matter. 

When looking at the posts I have written over the past few months, I definitely changed my perspective on a lot of things. For one thing, I definitely complained about things during my gap year in previous posts. I complained about having an English degree. Well, perspective changes quite a bit in a few months. At least I have a degree. At least I graduated debt free. For some reason academia came back in full force when I thought about writing an entire lesson plan on the differences between requirements and recommendations. 

Well, enough of the sentiments. My 0L gap year is almost over. I'm taking the LSAT-Flex from home, for hopefully the final time. After June I will figure out if I start my 1L year or if the gap extends another year. I'm still planning on law school. There's no rush. The rest will be a long road ahead. I thought it would be a good time for me to start planning for my first novel. Or a book of poems. The possibilities are endless.

First Two Years, Summarized

I recently completed my 2L year. All I have to say is, it is hellish.  I had some highs, and some pretty low lows. Nothing prepared me for how law school was going to go.  Since it is summer now, I want to get back and start writing again, one day at a time.  Although this blog post is going to be super short, law school has kept me busy. Now to wait for grades.

Living Like a College Student, Overdue

Image
It's been a while since I hit the books for school, so I thought about creating a new blog post documenting what it has been like for the first week of classes. For my first year of law school, I decided to live on campus. My goal is to get into a routine and gain the college experience I'd never had. Making the most out of every opportunity is valuable.  To prepare, I've been reading some law school blogs. The articles range from study habits to social life and networking.  But ultimately, the experience is what I make of it.  To be honest, the first week of classes was tough. Understandably, I'm learning a new way of thinking. Reading a case as well as briefing takes a lot of effort and practice.  To the left is a picture of all of my casebooks, plus other books in my assigned locker. Law lockers are good for the time you attend law school. Having less back pain is a plus to having a locker.  As for specializing in law school, this is my first year. My biggest concern

Two Years Later and Law School Bound

Well, a lot of things have definitely changed since the last blog post. One year has turned into two due to the pandemic. Two more LSAT attempts later, I am finally law school bound. I will attend Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law this fall, with that being said. Two years later, I get to fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer. I looked at all of my blog posts over the past couple of years and learned a lot about myself. Perhaps I am more prepared now than I was after graduating with a B.A. in English.  Mentally, I am more grounded and centered. Perhaps there is some good in living through a pandemic. By establishing healthier ways of coping, I have realized that it is okay to not be okay. Anyways, a few days ago, NKU sent me the acceptance email. It's a whole different world now. I'll make a new label on the law school experience eventually and will restructure the blog's website to make things more professional on the branding aspect. This blog wi
