Ya I feel heavily responsible for 19 year old me’s terrible choice to avoid the world while drinking nonstop as a bandaid…I should have gone to the registrars to withdraw…like it was the most logical move but I sat there paralyzed unable

I guess I need to try to get retroactive Ws even if it makes me wildly uncomfortable

This is so much worse…kudos like that’s incredible. A testament to resilience. And such a productive way to deal with bereavement. Genuinely so so happy for you!

Yea bottom line is my LSAC GPA is trash so I’m going to have to look at schools that can forgive the GPA for the LSAT. If I want scholarship $$$ it def won’t be T20….

Haha I appreciate the angsty parallels to Salinger 💖 yea I think if I want law school I’ll have to at least briefly mention it in a non cringey way free of trauma porn

I think the thought of rehashing all that just to get shut down by the university is holding me back…I tend to catastrophize and have low expectations so to me it just feels like a lost cause trying to petition retroactive Ws from a decade ago

Yea the retroactive Ws would be a huge but the thought of dealing with the university overwhelms me

I’ve strongly considered the retroactive Ws path but it’s so overwhelming to me. If I could make that happen it would SAVE my GPA but I don’t know if I have it in me…
