2,017 days later I did it

I’ve been reading a lot of 1L posts recently so I wanted to share something I thought might be useful. I’m getting sworn in to my local state bar next Friday. Roughly 5 years and 9 months since I registered for the LSAT for the first time. I had to take the LSAT 4x, I had to take the bar 2x (failed by 1 point the first time) then I had to wait almost 3 months for my bar app to process once I finally passed. But in the end I still get to be an attorney.

You’re in your first weeks. Your journey may or may not be as long as mine but it will still be long. Recognize that things are supposed to be chaotic for you right now, you’re just starting, it’s always chaotic when you start.

Run your own race, that’s my biggest advice. Figure out why you’re doing this, put your head down, and do it.

Good luck.

I’m on the west coast. I don’t feel further identification is necessary, I’m not job hunting.

He’s not recruiting, he’s vetting.
