I find law school to be relativity easy academically, but it has destroyed me mentally and emotionally. I'm considering dropping out, but I don't have anything else going on right now, plus I'm more then halfway done so it would be quite a waste.

what do you mean when you say you find it easy academically but it destroyed you mentally and emotionally? i would think that, if you found it easy, there would be no real reason to be stressed out.


for me, i've had a really hard time mentally and emotionally because it's pretty [censored] hard to me, and i've never been in an academic setting that was hard before. suddenly i need a work ethic, and it's not there... i don't want to wake up in the morning, i don't want to do my reading, i cut corners like its my job, etc.

i know adanthar has said repeatedly that law school was easy for him and he never went to class, but i think what i'm finally coming around to realize is that there are in fact lots of people out there who are smarter than me, and i'm just not capable of doing this. and there are people who have a similar intelligence level to me in law school doing very well, but those people work very hard to get the grades they do. i sneak by in the middle of my class and wonder at what point in my life i'm supposed to become motivated about what i'm doing.
