For the last couple of weeks, I began to question what I was going to do with my life. Being in my early 20s, I know that I am prone to being impatient. I became frustrated because I felt that I was stuck and could not see a way out.
During my second year of college, I decided that I wanted to go to law school After I graduated, I applied but did not get accepted to any schools (probably because I only applied to four top-tier schools and no back-ups). Since then, I have been working and re-applying.
Even though I have been procrastinating, going to law school is important to me. I think the reason I became so worried lately is due to the fact that I was unsure what I would do if I did not get accepted anywhere. I have the option of becoming an office assistant to an executive at Warner Bros. Anyone who knows anything about Hollywood will tell you that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity… but is it meant for my lifetime?
Apparently, it’s not. Why?
Because today is the day that I received my first acceptance letter in to law school. I am now at ease because I will definitely be a law school student come fall. I will admit that Loyola is not my top choice; I considered it a safety-net school. However, this gives me the permission to NOT apply to schools that are lower ranked (why waste my time and money, right?).
It’s funny how life works out sometimes.
