The Beginning

I began my journey to law school a year ago, unsure of my prospects and consumed by the many possibilities of how my life would play out if I made it. As I sit here today reflecting on the process, it was a mf-ing bumpy road. I cried a lot. I prayed after not having done so in a long time. I cursed every (the ones I applied to) admissions office...in my head.

I vividly remember the constant feelings of anxiety and self-doubt. It drove me crazy and at times also my family. All that was washed away instantly when I received my big fat envelope, the offer to attend law school this Fall. I made it...I'm finally in.

However, with just days away from my month-long summer program, my nerves are toying with me, again. My mind is racing with questions that I don't have the answers to. Everything has become so real, so fast. My mind and emotions haven't caught up. The other day, I saw the movie 'Bridesmaids' -- totally hilarious, go see it -- and I couldn't get this quote out of my head: "You're your problem and you're also your solution." I need get out of my own way. I worked so hard to get this opportunity and once school starts, I just need to kick some ass.

The madness is about to start...wish me luck!
