Empowering communities with the power of law and story.
It’s that bittersweet time of year again, as the semester is wrapping up, finals are approaching, and while summer is on the horizon, so is the pressure to make the most of it by advancing our legal education and careers.
For me, this marks the end of my first year out of four. Reflecting on the past nine months, it is astonishing to see how much my life has transformed thanks to Loyola Law School. The experiences, lessons, and opportunities I have gained will undoubtedly shape the months ahead.
Although I look forward to sunny days at the beach and reconnecting with family and friends, as an evening student, I am also excited about taking Constitutional Law this summer. I have heard from multiple attorneys that it is a challenging course, but I welcome the opportunity to dive into a foundational subject, especially during a Loyola Summer.
Last summer, I took a three-week course at Loyola and got a glimpse of summer classes. There is something nostalgic about stepping out into the warmth of the sun before entering an air-conditioned classroom, settling in for an evening of rigorous discussion, and then watching the sunset fade behind the city skyline. That rhythm of summer nights and legal studies is something I look forward to experiencing again.
In addition to summer classes, I will continue working as a legal assistant in Downtown. With tourist season in full swing, there will be so much to explore during lunch breaks and after work. Thanks to Loyola, I will spend my summer right in the heart of the city, balancing work, studies, and small moments of adventure.
Who knows? This summer I might finally catch up on Suits (though law school has made me watch legal dramas a little differently).
As I wrap up this blog post, I wanted to thank everyone who has followed along this journey. Here’s to another summer of growth, learning, and a little bit of fun along the way.
