I find myself consumed by the same "what if's" and wishing I'd gone back and done things differently. While I know that over the course of a life little changes of direction can magnify tremendously, there is still the fact that we all have basic cores to our character and personality that remain constant -- and I'm not even going to go into all the other variables beyond our control. I can wish that I'd been more mature, more outgoing, more sure of myself when I was in college, but there really isn't any way I could have been and I'm not sure it would put me in a very different place today if I had been. Another great post that I can totally identify with! I think I have to second AY. I find myself consumed by the same “what if’s” and wishing I’d gone back and done things differently.

I think the moral of the story is simple: find a good therapist BEFORE law school... But joking aside -- which, of course, is my own protection mechanism -- I hate to be an ends justify the means person, but had that conversation made you enjoy being a lawyer any more? Forget about if it changed anything about your law school career. I'm willing to bed you'd be in the same place you are now... But maybe that's just the determinist in me...
