Coping with Stress


So I think it has been a very long time since I've had a headache because I feel miserable today. I'm definitely stressed - I can feel it in my entire body, and the pressure on my head is tremendous.

This week I thought for the first time, "maybe I don't want to be a lawyer" and "is this all worth it?" Now, this is a downer, and I'm sorry to put that on my loyal readers, but I had never really thought that before. The lack of a job is probably definitely getting to me.

I had previously thought, "law school is difficult" and "I wish I didn't have so much work to do," but overall, I thought I was making the right move. This week, I wasn't so sure. I guess it was about time I had a break down. It's half the reason you go to law school - to figure out what your breaking point is. (They should put that in the brochures).

However, I'd just like to say, that I became famous among my law school peers this week. Why, you ask? Did I win the 2L Trial Advocacy competition? Is my face plastered on the law school's website? Did I save a village in Ethiopia from some very complex and unjust legal issue?
No.
I will show you my fame.

You see that? I was the all-star of our Intramural Ultimate Frisbee game last night. I may not have a job, and I may be procrastinating my 30 page Law Review Note, but my life is pretty good.

This is how I deal with the stress in my life

I love it. It seems like sometimes when life is the most stressful, something like that happens and carries us through till we're on our feet once again. I hope you're coping through you're breakdown. :)
