People tell me I should feel proud Forum

[lukertin]

Because I graduated from law school. Because it was a "hard three years" and because I pulled a "180" from engineering to law.

But, I don't feel a thing. Neither positive nor negative. I don't have any feeling about it whatsoever. I've had about a month to brood over this, and my feelings about it haven't changed.

Is this normal?

[hiima3L]

Do you have a job lined up?

This may or may not explain everything.

[lukertin]

Yes.

Also, people that don't know anything about law school say a lot of weird things about it.

[Ded Precedent]

I don't think I've ever really felt proud about anything in my entire life. I feel like this is normal for a lot of us.

Minus the soul-crushing debt.

Haha, sucks!

Yes. Enjoy your fucking job and stop whining so much.

Merged with foreveralone, which is appropriate for him.

All meaning is ascribed, brother. Color the world.

Don't tell me what to do, sir.

Yes. I experienced the exact same thing. My family was so proud, wanted to celebrate this huge accomplishment, and I felt no relief. They didn't understand - they thought I should be very proud.

Is it because passing the bar is the true "end point" of your legal education? That was it for me - school wasn't over, I just switched from law school classes to Barbri. If anything, Barbri was more intensive than my last year of law school, so getting my degree was not the end - an important step, but not the end.

Put another way - the end of law school lifted no weight off my shoulders, so I felt no different.

Agree with the above poaster about the bar and this. Everything I've done in my life that could be considered an "accomplishment" as always been something that was planned out and expected to happen.

That might explain a lot, actually. Thanks for your insight!

I felt more pride from events that occurred as a result of things I did while in law school than actually graduating which was inevitable at any halfway decent school. I.e., not all things I did necessarily but as examples: making law review, getting a biglaw job, publishing a paper, graduating with latin honors, transferring schools, etc. Those are all things not every single person who enters law school eventually achieves (like graduation).

I guess my pride from actually graduating vested as soon as I was admitted to a T25 school -- because no one fails out.

This is really sad. You guys have never been proud of anything you've done? It doesn't have to be something others see as an accomplishment, but like you never got in shape to run a marathon or overcame some sort of phobia like public speaking or anything like that?

[FeelTheHeat]

Yes. Enjoy your fucking job and stop whining so much.

Don't tell me what to do, sir.

YOU'LL ENJOY IT AND YOU'LL LIKE IT, FUCKER

Get the hell out of here with that existentialist claptrap.
