Psyched for Law School! Forum

Tell me, Colonel... Were you ever young?

Tell me, Colonel... Were you ever young?

Yup. And just as reckless as you. Then one day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.

[narkizopoint]

cant wait to quit my job- YES!

[Doritos]

I can't wait to study all the time and pray to God I beat the curve.

Now that we all know what our fears are, in the spirit of USS: Optimism, lets talk about what we are excited for about law school. I have a feeling this will not be as active of a thread...

Oddly enough, I am excited for the workload. It sounds incredibly difficult and I am excited to start 'figuring it out.'
I'm excited to meet some interesting people, as I myself am not one of them. I want to get to know everyone from the nerdy art girl, to the NCAA athlete, to the 35 year old father/husband.
I'm excited to be surrounded by not only brilliant professors, but some pretty intelligent students as well. I love a great academic atmosphere.
If I end up in another part of the country, I am excited for that too, especially if I end up in North Carolina.


That's all I got... anyone else?!

I have to say I felt the same way before I entered 1L! It's a great mindset to be in, it will help you a lot mentally. Good luck!

I'm excited of the prospect of getting a job. Theatre degrees are essentially really expensive pieces of toilet paper.

SGA President, 3 Faculty Committees, I teach a class, work a job 25 hours a week, sit on the Colleges Board of Trustees, take 19 credit hours and have the whole law-school application process to put up with on top of everything else in life.

This time next year, I will have 1 thing to do-->study. I'm going to love it.

This is my FAVORITE PART without question.

The real world sucks, here's to 3 more years of avoiding responsibility.

Oh, and my interest in the subject matter has genuinely been piqued, and I'm excited to start learning it...

+1 ... I have no original thoughts

After breezing through my liberal arts major in undergrad, I'm excited to take courses that will actually be useful and relevant to my future career.

HAhahaha!

I have some bad news for you about the bolded...

LOLz

I can't wait to meet interesting, engaging, intelligent people. I'm excited to have good conversations, work hard, and consume countless cups of coffee.

[Luis Gomez]

I can't wait.

For me it is a new country, new school, different language. It will be a big change.

[Kobe_Teeth]

I can't wait.

Wow, that;s awesome. Good luck!

BTW...ESL 166 LSAT...impressive.

Don't worry about him, he is my personal TROLL, he follows me an other TLSer and posts negative stuff around our posts. (Today he can go all out on me, since I got my first waitlist).

Just disregard him, everyone else does.

[Doritos]

Awwwwwwwwwww. How cute.

I also attended Ohio State. Thought I'd throw that out there. Also, Luis don't worry 'bout the WL you got some quality options in front of you.

Bummer. He isn't even a good troll.

I got waitlisted at 1/2 of the schools I applied. Now I'm doing just fine and I've done well in classes. No worries.

Missed this one. Sorry to burst your bubble here too, but you are going to have a hell of a lot to do on top of studying this time next year. Job hunt, student organization elections, job hunt, brief, job hunt, public interest work, job hunt...

Ah, what fun crushing spirits is.

Well I am a 1L currently, and I am experiencing the job hunt, brief, etc. But being that everything is focused around school makes it a lot easier to stay focused. So I still agree with Cupidity, and I must respectfully disagree with you, Bosque. At least coming from what I was doing, similar to Cupidity, this is easier to manage in one sense (a pretty big sense, actually).
