Law School’s Tough, but It’s Worth It!!!

I’m a 23 year old Miami local. I graduated from FIU with a major in Finance. I decided to attend law school because I wanted something more challenging, and sometimes you get what you ask for. Law school has definitely been the most challenging experience of my life. Other law students told me how difficult it could be at times, but you cannot really understand what they mean until you experience it for yourself. My best advice for you now is to not get discouraged by the horror stories you will probably hear in this blog . . . at the end it will be worth it. My decision to go to law school has been one the best decisions I have ever made. The fact that law school can be so difficult makes the feeling you get when you finish a semester, an exam, a legal writing memorandum, etc., that much greater. It is an incredible feeling for me to be able to look back and tell you these stories. Law school has given me the opportunity to accomplish sometimes insurmountable goals in an amazingly short period of time. At this point in my law school career, as a second year law student, in has not been that bad anymore. You figure out how this stuff works, so your second and third years tend to be more bearable. However, I always have to go and get involved in other extracurricular activities (like this blog) to make sure I’m still going nuts. I don't know why I do it, it just sort of happens . . . lol. I look forward to sharing many law school stories with you in the near future, so until then, good luck and ask me any questions you want.
