So, What Are You Gonna Do With Your Life?!?

Graduation is quickly approaching. I’ve turned in all my papers and now all I have left are two finals. I should be elated. After three years of that special brand of torture that one can only experience in law school, I’m done. I survived. However, as I sat in my last law school class ever, I felt sad. All year, I made sure I only had class three days per week. I avoided coming to campus whenever I could. I was done! But now that I truly am done, I just don’t want to be. Finishing law school means I am finished with school. I am not prepared to be finished. I don’t want a real job. I don’t want to have to be a grown up. But I just cannot figure out how to drag out my education any longer. I am also unclear as to what I want to do with this very expensive piece of paper. I suppose I could work at a law firm like most of my classmates, but I found that working insane hours all of the time just isn’t for me. Don’t get me wrong, I really do love the law and want to use the little knowledge I have to do something. I just cannot figure out what something is right for me. Anyone have ideas?
