Priorities Shift

They do. From med school bound to law school hopeful, priorities do shift. I don't believe in fate, but I do believe that things happen for a reason. This reason is a test. It tests how you rise to the occasion, how you react in situations. And there isn't a right or wrong answer--just better and could-have-been-better.

Here are my new fall priorities, chronologically:

- Be happy.
- Come out to my mom.
- Score high on the LSAT!!!
- Write amazing personal statements and finish applications.
- Complete ASUN/community projects.
- Get that 4 point o-er.
- Read the books that I never got to finish reading...

It's short, but doable. Baby steps, but this semester is going to be the hardest yet. Rush, pledging, effing o-chem lab, 17 credits, work, ASUN... If you really want something, you have to work hard. I don't want to take anything for granted. I don't want to have any regrets. I want to smile when I look back, not quiver or cry. This is a defining moment in my life. I better not fuck it up.

  1. There are no such things as "fuck-ups." Unless by "fuck-ups" you mean "not doing anything," which clearly you are not. Because in reality the real "fuck-ups" are disguised as lessons. So yes I admire your list. Let's fuck-up together!!!
