In all seriousness, as the end of second year got closer I kept thinking of more and more challenges I was facing and things that I could easily write entire books on, let alone one blog post! So, with a renewed desire to express my thoughts all over the internet to people I will never know, here I am.
The topic of this post is choices.
When I chose my A-Level topics at school I was pretty naïve in thinking that was one of the last big choices I had to make for a while. How wrong I was.
Lately, my head has been over run with choices. Although these things can be put off for a while, as a girl who prides herself on knowing what she wants, it is worrying me.
Every time someone asks me, "what area of law do you want to work in?" or "solicitor or advocate" or any number of other career related questions, it sends me into a new panic.
What do I want?!?!?!?!
It's not just those questions, but where do I even want to practice? Do I stay in Scotland? Go somewhere else in the UK? Sometimes I feel like I definitely do, and that brings whole new questions such as how should I go about converting my degree? Should I qualify in Scotland then go, or do the GDL? Is that even an option? Then other times, mostly when it has been raining for three months solid, I decide i'd rather go back to Spain. Then the question is, do I do a masters degree in Spain, or qualify and work here for a few years first?
I do not think there has ever been so many questions running around in my head.
A lot of them I really need not worry about for at least another year, but like I said, it's horrible not knowing. I like to consider all the consequences of my decisions, which is painstaking when there are so many!
Sometimes I wonder, is this all because I studied law? Why didn't I choose something with less options?!?! But then I realise how lucky I am to have so many options.
My drive and ambition has got me this far, and given me the opportunity to make my life what I want it to be. I think that makes me pretty lucky.
