My sister recommended that I start participating in a forum to get some objective feedback and advice. I’ve read through every article that seemed relevant to get some perspective. But the thoughts that race in my head, the constant back and forth, and the guilt that I will carry for the rest of my life … Continue reading
It’s been a wonderful 3 months being back at home. I can’t believe how fast this summer flew by. I thoroughly enjoyed being with my family, friends, and boyfriend again. I also loved that I was able to spend time with them while working almost full time at my internship at the Family Court. This balanced … Continue reading
You’re from Hawaiʻi? What are you doing in Michigan!? In an attempt not to be overly snarky or malicious (e.g., the Pure Michigan commercials, the recent press coverage of Detroit), I responded the best way that I could: When I was first contacted by MSU Law, I liked what I saw, and I decided that … Continue reading

As nervous as I am to … Continue reading
I’ve been meaning to write a post about my Michigan trip but I haven’t had the energy. So a song that encapsulates my feelings will have to do.
Why do you want to go to law school? More importantly, why do you want to be a lawyer? are questions that I’ve constantly been thinking about. They’re questions that will continue to be asked of me, and I will continue to ask of myself. As it should be– this is a very big decision … Continue reading
