Exams and a Much Needed Break!

Another semester of law school came to an end in December 2017 which meant one thing - the soul-crushing pressure of final exams. Thankfully, I survived another exam period and am now officially half-way done with law school. The phrase “time flies” has never been truer than the last year and a half of my life. It seems like only yesterday that I was a terrified 1L trying to find a seat in my very first law school class.

After exams, I did my best to really celebrate the end of another stressful semester. I rang in the new year with the John Mayer / Dave Chappelle show at The Forum which was an incredible way to start 2018. Other than that, I spent break watching a LOT of television (probably too much if I’m being honest) and taking a mini trip back to Alabama to visit friends and family. The biggest surprise to me over the break was how different I felt being back in Alabama - where I had spent the majority of my life. I visited friends who I grew up with and are now settling down and starting families. My best friend had a baby girl on December 21st and it was so surreal being able to hold her child. It was surreal just realizing that this person whom I had known for 14 years now has her own family. It was also eye-opening to see how different Alabama feels after living in California for a few years. Anyway, overall, it was a relaxing winter break and I have high hopes for 2018!
