If there's one redeeming quality about your first semester of your first year of law school, it's that you don't have to make that many decisions. Your classes are all chosen for you, and if you're like me, you make a personal promise to yourself that you won't join any clubs or organizations. I felt like the hardest choice I had to make was what I was going to eat for dinner.
Then second semester rolls around, the semester of choices. What kind of internships/externships should I apply for? Should I extern my next year? Do I want to try to "write-on" to a journal? Should I do the Marshall Brennan Constitutional Literacy Fellowship? When should I do clinic? Should I do the moot court competition?
Too many choices for this indecisive girl who always likes having a plan. Trying to chart a path that (1) allows me to maintain my mental and physical health (2) will be beneficial to my future and (3) is fun is no easy task. Fortunately having almost everyone feel that same way has helped me talk things out and I'm at least crossing things off the list. It's a start.
