Update on my life & becoming a workblr
Not sure who will read this but just wanted to post an update. I realize I haven’t been posting as much on this Studyblr as I used to when I was in college. I am now one year out since I graduated college, and I just received a promotion at my job! While I still intend to go to law school, I will now be working for another 2-3 years in my new position before I go. I am thinking of turning this blog into more of workblr, showing how I stay organized at my job, take notes, create presentations and curriculum, etc! And of course, I will still post about the LSAT, because I am retaking it.
My new job is working as a sexual assault outreach coordinator, so I will be doing presentations at local middle and high schools and colleges raising awareness about sexual assault, healthy relationships, intimate partner violence, and consent. This includes creating new curriculum for these schools on these topics! I also coordinate and run meetings for a sexual assault response team to ensure sexual assault service providers are all working together as a cohesive team so that we can best serve survivors.
on waiting to attend law school
Overall, I am so glad I decided to wait to attend law school. I think it’s important to make sure you are ready before attending any type of post-grad program, and I know I was too burnt out to go straight into more school. People ask me when I’m going, and honestly, I’m not in a rush. Law school will always be there. I want to make sure I am in the best physical, medical, and financial shape before I start something as challenging and competitive as law school. If you are reading this and are not sure if you should go straight into law school or wait, I highly encourage waiting (especially now that many US law school programs are online next year). Don’t give in to the senior year pressure of going straight into more school because all your friends are and you want something to announce on your Instagram. I definitely felt that pressure, but once I got my job offer I knew I wanted to take some time off before law school.
That’s all for now! Stay tuned!
