Bored of Studies - View Single Post - [Serious] Law students, do you have a life?

Calling all law students without supernatural memory and/or studying abilities, do you have a life?

Or are you cramming texts and working on assignments just to maintain high Cs, while your friends in other faculties actually live life and smell the flowers so to speak? Is law as intense as it's perceived to be?

There's a lot of buzz about balance and being well-rounded, but seriously, do you have time for family, other pursuits, leisure reading and even just to be still and ruminate?

Law is something I see myself doing, because I enjoy logical reasoning etc., and I'm prepared for the hard work that will come with it. However, I hear law students being completely occupied and stressed out, and wonder if it's worth it? I know there is sacrifice involved, but I also want to stay engaged in other important aspects of life beyond school.

Views and reflections from those before me will be much appreciated, thanks!
