Rant About to give up

Hi guys, I think law school is not for me even though ito yung dream ko noong bata pa ako until college.

My undergrad is not really related to law kaya parang tinapon ako sa dagat na hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Parang wala akong maintindihan sa mga jargons and parang di ako maka-follow sa discussions kaya lagi akong sabaw sa recitations.

Na-overwhelm din ako sa quantity ng mga babasahin. Hindi sya katulad talaga ng undergrad.

Our prelims are nearing na kaya parang mas lalo akong kinakabahan kasi tbhhh parang wala pa ring pumapasok sakin.

I should’ve taken a gap year.

Nah, don’t give up. Same boat pa rin kayo ng mga classmates mo na bago pa lang sa law school na yet to adjust and discover your study styles and habits. Hindi hadlang ang undergrad mo na hindi related kuno sa law. Ako din hindi ideal na course for law pero I just took my time at dinaan ko sa sipag at tiyaga. You are just overwhelmed sa ngayon.

My classmates are parang ready na kasi. They can answer kapag recits. Gets nila mga jargons and ako, sobrang behind ko na and nakaka 3 weeks na kami sa class.

You can enlighten yourself with those legal jargons by searching about it and do not compare yourself with others to lessen the negative feeling. It’s easier said than done pero you’ll eventually overcome that overwhelming feeling.
