does any current 1L regret law school? Forum

curious.

It's not the 1Ls you should be asking (though I'm sure some already do). It's the recent grads who are actually bearing the full brunt of their decision.

A lot of people have not gotten their grades yet. I think a lot of people will in about a week.

I've been enjoying it and think it is really kinda fun. All you do is read and think. This probably makes me sound twisted.

It sure beats the homework, labs, quizzes, etc. from undergrad.

I probably should be regretting it, but I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. I like the challenge and everything has been pretty interesting so far.

I enjoy law school, but the fact that I'm not paying out the ass for it probably has a lot to do with that.

There are days where I wonder why I did this to myself but it's not that bad overall. That said, I could easily see this changing for the worse come summer of 2018, if not sooner. I think it kind of helps me to have had a few years of work experience before going in. Even on the worst of days I recognize that a lot of people in all kinds of jobs and professions have the same anxieties and insecurities that the average law student has and that taking a gamble on law school was just that, a gamble. You have to be ok with a less-than-perfect outcome going into it.

Not yet. Got decent grades, met a bunch of interesting people, and next semester is definitely going to be less stressful than the first.

You've been incessantly gunning since day one duder - it's not surprising you burned out. Last year, almost 80% of your school's CO14 was working in a biglaw firm nine months after graduation. Quit being needlessly hard on yourself, get your act together, and don't fuck up OCI.
