I can’t believe this is my last blog
post during my 1L year! I cannot express how quickly time has flown. When I
first started law school, I thought this year would drag on, and don’t get me
wrong, at times it seemed never ending, but looking back I have no idea where
the time has gone. I am so thankful to have spent my first year of law school
at Loyola. The friends and relationships I have made so far are more than I
could have ever hoped for.
It
has been my honor to blog for Loyola during my first year and it’s been a
pleasure sharing my experience so far. My plan for the summer is to work. I
have been applying at employment firms and for entertainment positions. I have
had wonderful informational interviews with very impressive attorneys that have
given me helpful career advice and articulated the different steps I can to
take to get where I want to be. I will
also be diving deep into research this summer as I have a plan to implement a new organization
on Loyola’s campus in the coming years.
I
am excited to see what this summer will bring. While working and researching I
will also be taking a summer school class. I plan to take Evidence so that I
can lighten my course load during the fall semester and intern throughout the
year. I also like the idea of not getting out of the “school mode” so taking a
summer school course is perfect for me.
Loyola
has been very helpful in my career search. We are constantly getting emails and
updates about open positions and there are numerous events educating us on how
to format our resumes and curate our cover letters. Simplicity (a career
builder and event website run by Loyola) is also a wonderful tool in searching
for open positions. While final exams are still ahead of me, I often find
myself reflecting on this year. A year ago today I was still in St. Louis about
to finish up undergrad. It seems like a lifetime ago, and I have grown so much
since then. This year has had it its ups and downs, but I would gladly choose
Loyola all over again.
