Most of my friends are already lawyers now or standing on the edge of the Bar, while here I am - still in law school, still fighting my way through. It took me longer to get here because my path was interrupted, I was once denied a diploma just before graduation and had to start all over again.

I lost, I failed, and I was judged harshly - all because I chose integrity over everything else. Now I’m starting again from square one. Still, I carry no regrets, because even in the ruins, my conscience remains clean.

If there’s one thing Bar Boys taught me, it’s that missed opportunities will haunt you more than failures.

I’m really anxious about next semester, about whether I’ll still be accepted after taking a break. Stepping away wasn’t easy, and it came with a lot of guilt and second-guessing, but I needed that pause to survive, to breathe, and to find myself again.

I spoke too soon. 😮💨
There’s no power-tripping, just a supportive environment where we’re treated as future legal professionals, expected to rise to the occasion.

Professors who don’t teach well but take pride in failing students are exactly the kind of people I never want to become. There’s nothing admirable about confusing authority with cruelty.

Is it wrong to be unmotivated anymore?

It’s frustrating when technical issues - completely out of your control - happen again, and the one person who should be listening to your concerns won’t even bother. It's not just the glitch, it’s the lack of basic understanding that makes it worse.

281 handwritten digests in just 6 months. I still can’t believe I made it this far. Through the sleepless nights, the mental exhaustion, the constant pressure - I’m still here.
The odds haven’t exactly been in my favor, but I’ve kept going. Even on the days I felt like giving up, I showed up.

Studying for exams while it’s raining hard hits different. The cold weather, the calming raindrops, and that cozy feeling - a recipe for anything but focus. Trying to fight the urge to nap and stay productive, but the rain is definitely not helping. Anyone else struggling too?

I’m back to square one, and it’s disheartening. To see myself unmotivated and struggling all over again for the same reason I thought I had already conquered a year ago feels like a punch to the gut. I truly believed I had grown past it, healed from it, moved forward.

I failed again and it’s disheartening. I really thought I was finally winning. But when you're up against someone who thrives on power-tripping, the only thing to do is push through and keep giving your best. This setback doesn’t define me. I’ll rise from this stronger and more relentless than ever.

Art is indeed the weapon in a liberating culture. It challenges systems, sparks dialogue, and awakens minds. While power tries to control with fear, art disrupts with truth.

I've never felt this mentally and physically exhausted, yet it feels strangely good. Like before, I’ll skip class to recharge. But something feels different these past few months. A healthy environment truly makes a difference. It pushes you to keep going, no matter how drained you are.

So hell week begins. And unmotivated again. Help! But do not disturb for the entire week.

It’s honestly frustrating and irritating when one person decides for the majority, as if their voice automatically represents everyone else. That’s not how consensus works.

It was too late for me to realize that it’s really hard to stay motivated these days when I know our professor expects us to fail before we even begin. That kind of energy is draining.

I will take the next three days to rest and then will continue fighting.

I just received a low result in one of my exams last semester, and honestly, I’m back to feeling frustrated all over again. I don't know if I will pass the subject or not. It’s like no matter how much I try, the world just keeps throwing tests at me - emotionally, mentally, everything.

My classes are a perfect balance of pressure and meaningful discussion. Every session feels like stepping into Bar Exam preparation, not because of intimidation, but because of the depth of learning and the challenge to think critically.

A year ago today, I had a gut feeling that things would never work out in my favor. Yet, I chose to stay hopeful.
For months, I've being reminded that healing isn’t a straight path. It’s messy and filled with moments of doubt. I’m still healing from the pain.

Sitting for 2 hours without thinking about books and cases to read, made me write more than 5 thoughts that needed to be posted. The last time I posted was a month ago. This afternoon has heen healing me mentally.

Law school hazing throws you into a cycle of relentless challenges—failed recitations, grueling exams, and readings that feel impossible to grasp. Yet, through the embarrassment and struggle, you build humility and the ability to bounce back.

I'm currently educating myself on Red Notice and Diffusion by Interpol, and it has been blowing my mind. This will certainly give me more headaches upon reaching another sem for review re international law. I feel bad I had it during the pandemic.
