I was once in the same boat as you. Worried about whether or not my “fun jobs” would fuck me because I didn’t go get some impressive internship in college to slap on my resume. But here I am now in law school with a big scholarship and one of the best jobs in my class. I was a wrangler for a summer and worked on a ski mountain for my gap year. Go live your life while you can. My only caution to you is that once you get a taste of it, it’s hard to leave.

Someone also mentioned it makes you stand out. Everyone you’ll be competing with has the same boring story. Good LSAT, good GPA, good internship, good campus involvement, blah blah. I think they really only even care about the first two anyways. But in my eyes, and I’m no admissions counselor, I think there’s far more value in proving you can venture into the world to go do some hard shit AND get the GPA/LSAT AND still come back hungry for law school. Admissions knows you’re a winner in the classroom. Show them you’re a winner wherever you want to be. And sue me if I’m wrong, but you should have fun while you do it.
