I hope no one in here is seriously contemplating law school.

NO MORE GIFs!!! A simple jpeg will do.

GIFs overstay their welcome quickly and gum up loading time on my ancient system. A jpeg comes (and goes) quickly.

I'll ditch my archaic Mr. Natural sig if all of you will "sunset" your (quickly) passe GIFs.

I have a friend from Holy Cross College who then transferred to Michigan. Cheered for his alma mater every Saturday except when the Irish came to town. Then he roamed campus decked out in his Notre Dame gear. Talk about an existential crisis.

Michigan is a good school though, its law school included.

I just can't root for them, I am planning to go to the Alabama vs Michigan game just to see them get stomped. There's a lot of pain behind these eyes.

I feel ya. There also used to be a guy that roamed around campus at Notre Dame always wearing the same Michigan cap . . . including while he was sitting in the student section at home games. Some people are just gluttons for punishment, although I think he might have enjoyed the last few years a bit more than any of us have.

I second that. I just finished it and trust me, it sucks. Not only does the experience murder, but the profession as a whole is the furthest thing as you can get from reality.

This outlines it pretty well:

Why You Shouldn’t Go To Law School | It's Up to You

I have about $180,000 invested in something that can be somewhat interesting, but most often occupies all your time with menial nonsense. Not to mention the job market.

The worst thing is you should only go if you really, really, REALLY, like the law. As that article says, you're borrowing all of that obscene amount of money just to get a job that will enable you to pay off that money. It's a joke, and a reason why so many of the law schools are getting sued.

Now, I don't mean to sound bitter, but quite honestly if I had known much of this I would have taken my history degree and tried to do something with that. But as it stands now, I'm going to prep for the Bar Exam in July and make the most out of my career.

Yeah they certainly have felt better than I have. Hell I'm a Domer in GA so I understand being a glutton for punishment.

Wanted to post this here so I wasn't clogging up the thread of random so mods please delete my post in there


I'm not looking for smypathy or people to feel sorry for me I just wanted to get this off my chest because it truly helps me and it's helping me get this mountain of guilt I have on my chest. I've been struggling with substance abuse for the past two years and on Tuesday I'm finally going to get help. I've been struggling with an addiction to Oxys for the past two years and I cold turkey'd it a month ago and it was the hardest and best thing I've ever done. I'm checking myself into a rehab facality on Tuesday and I never hit rock bottom but i need to do this before I die or my life just spirals out of control. So people always wondered why I could be such a douche bag at times it truly wasn't the real me. I haven't been posting much lately because of this but for a lot of you guys I see you as friends and people I talk to everyday.

I called the rehab facility and one of the first things I asked them was if I could have my free time to watch ND play from 2-6 and the guy chuckled. So even though I won't be able to probably watch every game this might be the hardest part for me lol. God it's gonna be so weird.

I guess the reason I'm making this post was I hope some of you keep me in your prayers and I'm sure a couple of you will understand exactly what I'm going through. Another reason I'm making this post is to bring notice to addiction because I know I'm not the only one going through this so if anyone is struggling please feel free to hit me up in the next few days or any time. My number is 920-621-3498. I hope no one is going through what I am but I'm gonna beat this and become the best man I know I can be. Thank you for everyone through their support. I love you guys and I will talk with you all soon.

Love, your friend

GB

I mean it when I say good luck kid. I've had a bunch of friends who have dealt with these same issues. Shit happens and it's not about where you've been but where you're going. Take care.

Sully, I've also struggled with addiction. 4.5 years ago, I gave it up for Lent, but (more importantly) I also started praying the rosary daily. Today, what once seemed irresistible has no hold on me at all.

Give it a try. Regardless, ill be praying for you.

Hey buddy, we all have dark times and I have some friends that have gone through worse than what you're dealing with. I can't empathize with what you're going through and they are great men today, but I simpathize greatly. I'm rooting for you and sending my best.

Remember, you live a lot of lives in your time here on earth. Don't be afraid of becoming someone new, someone better. Your soul and spirit will always remain, but it's never too late to become the person you want to be. Keep fighting, stay loose and force yourself to smile through it all. Because it is always darkest before the light. You'll get through this and be a better man for it.

Prayers sent and will be resent. Congrats on doing something about it and keep the strength to fight it. When it seems like all is fading reach oit to loved ones (even here) and use that support system to stay strong.

The hardest part of making any change is the beginning and that part occurs in the mind. Once the mind is decided your reality will follow. It won't be easy, but it is not complex. Set your jaw, Sully! Prayers for you!

I commend you. It has to be hard to come to terms with yourself before you hit rock bottom and equally as hard posting it on a public forum. Take it seriously every day and get yourself better. You have a lot of people here rooting for you.

Blessings to you, warrior. Get it done. I'll get you into my morning rosary this week. (don't know how much influence I have with The Big Guy, but He'll be hearing from me.)
