the things no one ever told you

- your second year of law school will be worse than the first
- you have no idea what your limits are, and you never will

- there are people that will love you even when you're such a bitch that you don't even love yourself.
- being selfish is necessary. we are all selfish by nature.
- being argumentative isn't always a plus. even when you're a lawyer. learn to shut-up.
- you're pretty to someone, even on your worst day.
- you can miss what you've never had, never seen, never touched, and never tasted.
- we make ourselves lonely. we can make ourselves un-lonely too.
- it's okay to shop when you're angry. or bored. or sad. or excited. it's almost always okay to shop. the only exception is when you're broke.
- babies make everyone happy.
- realizing you're "not ready" is perfectly normal.
- the smallest things in your day have a trickle-down effect until they start to impact the largest things in your life.
- a temper can be a beautifully dangerous thing.
- dreams come true. they just don't come true on their own.
- friends and lovers can cure anything and everything.
