We’ve all been there.
You open Instagram. Someone’s interning at a High Court. Another person just posted a certificate from some obscure international moot. Meanwhile, you’re staring at your screen wondering if it’s too late to start studying for the IPC midterm… which is tomorrow.
Here’s the thing nobody says out loud: law school is more about pacing than racing. The legal field isn’t a 100m sprint — it’s a long game of building clarity, credibility, and character.
Here’s what actually matters in the long run:
🔹 Consistency over clout – Reading one case a day beats flexing ten unread internships.
🔹 Depth over noise – Know why a judgment matters, not just what the ratio was.
🔹 Reflection > Reaction – You don’t need to jump at every opportunity. Pick what aligns with your values.
And for those feeling lost — remember, even the best lawyers once sat in your chair, Googling “difference between tort and crime” at 2AM.
You’re not behind. You’re just on your own track. 💼⚖️
Let’s stop glamorizing burnout. Let’s start normalizing growth.
