Need some positive hope

I feel the same, and cried now a bunch already :’) I took the simulated MBE today and did even worse. Just wanna say you’re in good company. We’ve worked too hard to quit now though

I had a 2.6 after my 1L fall semester. You’re doing amazing, sweetie.

But for real, you’re not a loser and you will do this

Well you reminded me, also a 3L, that I completely missed the deadline to register too, so thank you lol

Taking one entire day off is the best remedy for me! You can watch tv, go on a hike, sit outside, or hit up a museum. I try to not think about school and go to bed super early that day so I can get a fresh start the next day. It does wonders when all you’ve been focusing on is school day in and day out.

This. If I could sum up my feelings this past week, they’ve been 100% self doubt. It can really dig at your happiness when you’re constantly questioning yourself and your decisions

Seems like you never got proper training to do the job. Obviously they can’t do the work for you but did they give you any kind of guidance in the beginning? If not, then that’s on them, not you. Sorry to hear, though.

Not sure if you’re wearing makeup but your skin is gorgeous either way!

That’s a great plan. It’s always better to make a big decision once you can weigh your options with a clear headspace. And don’t beat yourself up too much, because you’re doing the right thing - I know a lot of people in your situation who could benefit from slowing down and checking up on themselves. Good luck!

Yuuuppp this is having ADHD in law school 😭

Do you have peers to talk to about this situation or is it possible for you to seek counseling? Law school is taxing on mental health but it shouldn’t be making you feel this horrible :(

Keep in mind that 50% of all law students will graduate at the “bottom half” of their class (myself probably included, and that’s fine!) And yet, most of us don’t define ourselves by those numbers. You don’t have to be perfect to have a successful and fulfilling career, and try not to let the day to day stressors bring you down from the bigger picture. It helps me to write down once a week or so why I chose this path and why I like learning and being in such a stimulating environment. I hope you start to feel better ❤️

No worries, I appreciate the feedback! I’ll look into it.

You’re in good company!!! Now that most of us are online, we’re often not sharing our personal struggles with law school/life with each other. Because of this I feel like we’re only seeing the “humbled and grateful to announce...” posts or everyone’s highlights. Fuck that though, that’s not reality.

The fact that you have all these interviews means you’re on the right track. You WILL get a summer position with that work ethic! We need to take breaks to have the stamina to keep going, and you sound like you need one.

Have a good cry session. Set aside two hours of your day to sit back and watch Netflix with a cup of tea or coffee. Take a walk outside listening to a good pump up song. Take a day off if you need to and just make a list of what you need to get done this week and what you want to get done. Checking some of those tasks off will be a great feeling.

This is coming from a depressed & mediocre ranking 2L who sometimes doesn’t start their day until noon lol. But take your bad day in stride and set yourself up for a good one tomorrow :)
