The Start of My New Life in Hell

Sorry for the term. What I mean here is law school.

I just learned that I passed at the San Beda College of Law entrance test and to be honest, I am not really excited at all. Instead of excitement, what I feel right now is being scared. I will be going to a dark and dismal place where survival of the fittest is the game. If college life is already a pressure cooker, consider law school as inferno. And the only person who can help me to survive is no other than myself.

It’s a crazy thought to enter law school. I never imagined myself entering it years ago. Before, I have made a decision that I’ll take a Master’s degree in International Studies or Political Science. But the opportunity to study abroad is making it so impossible in our situation right now so what I thought is that I should become a lawyer first and work hard before taking up Master’s degree in my dream school abroad. Being a lawyer is also my dream since high school. Whether or not I am making the right decision is debatable but at least I am trying to do something which is not really stupid…or so I thought.

Why did I choose San Beda anyway?

San Beda College of Law is one of the best law schools in the country. Aside from UP and Ateneo, San Beda is a monster in the field of law. Just last year, a Bedan topped the bar. No doubt that law students are being trained and pushed so hard to become good lawyers. Even before I passed my requirements for the entrance examination, I know that life there would be different from my previous years in high school or college. Intelligence is not enough to survive…and I am already having goosebumps on what my first day at law school would be like and the next days to come.

Maybe I’ll flunk. Maybe I’ll survive. But I made this decision. I have to be firm on this. This is what I really wanted anyway…to become a lawyer someday.

Another four years…or five. This life is really getting crazier.
