It’s so hard but I’ve been trying to remind myself everything will work out the way it’s supposed to and you will end up where you belong. I really hope it’s Northeastern tho!
what's your plan now pessimisticoptimist?
Thank you so much! The plan now is to deposit at Cardozo and write a couple of LOCIs this weekend
I do really like Cardozo but I really wanna end up practicing in MA, my home state
And tonight I'm going to drink, a lot lol
Best of luck! I've got a couple friends at Cardozo and they really love it. Plus there'll still be a chance to practice in Mass
Thank you!! Hoping for the best and I know that no matter what, I'm going to be a lawyer :)
