5 lies about being an attorney:

1. Only top students get good jobs.

2. You’ll start earning 100k+ right out of law school

3. You shouldn’t be a lawyer if you hate law school

4. Law school grades predict who will be a good or bad attorney

5. Law school gives you 3 more years to figure out what to do with your life

As a person living with GAD for several years, I understand that anxiety can sometimes make studying seem like a daunting task. It can be discouraging when brain fog or ruminating thoughts don’t let you concentrate on your school work, so here are some tips to help you deal with it:

1. Take care of your basic needs

Have you been drinking enough water? Have you eaten properly? Have you taken your meds and supplements? Not having your basic needs met can make your anxiety symptoms worse. Also, it has been proven that even mild dehydration can impair mood and cognitive function (x,x). Aim to drink around 2 liters / half a gallon of water each day, eat a balanced diet, rich in vegetables and fruits, and try to limit caffeine intake, as it interferes with sleep and may worsen your anxiety.

2. Don’t leave it to the last minute

Sometimes the course material seems so extensive that you seem to not know where to start. You may be tempted to leave studying for another day, but procrastinating can only offer short term relief. In the long run, the material is just going to keep pilling up, and leaving everything to the last minute only causes more stress. Start early and start small. Aim to study a bit every day. If you like to use the pomodoro technique, try completing 1 or 2 pomodoros each day.

3. Try mindfulness

By focusing your attention on the present moment, mindfulness can counteract rumination and worrying. That helps you reduce anxiety and it can be easier to focus on a present task. Mindfulness takes practice, but at the same time any activity, like eating, walking, or listening to music, can become mindful by focusing on the present moment.
If you want to give mindfulness a try, here are some free apps you can start with:

4. Talk to someone

Talking to friends and family about your symptoms can sometimes help to better manage them, but if you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone you’re close with, talking to someone on campus may be a good alternative.
Many colleges offer resources to help students deal with anxiety and stress. Check around your campus for resources like academic advising, peer counseling, and an on campus mental health provider.

No te enamores de una persona curiosa. Querrá saber quién eres, de dónde vienes, cómo es tu familia. Mirará todas tus fotografías y leerá todos tus poemas. Vendrá a cenar y hablar con tu madre acerca de cómo su curiosidad le ha enseñado cosas muy útiles. Te pedirá que explotes cuando estás enojado y que llores cuando estás herido. Te preguntará qué significa esa ceja levantada. Querrá saber tu comida favorita, tu color favorito, tu persona favorita. Te preguntará por qué. Va a comprar esa cámara que te gustó, prestará atención a esa banda que amas en caso de que haya un show cerca, te llevará ese suéter al que le sonreíste una vez. Aprenderá a cocinar tus comidas favoritas. Los curiosos no se conforman con el exterior, desean el interior. Ellos quieren lo que te hace pesado, lo que te hace sentir incómodo, lo que te hace gritar de alegría, ira, y de angustia. Su piel se convertirá en páginas en las que aprenderás a derramar tu ser. No te enamores de una persona curiosa. No dejará un suspiro sin explicación. Querrá saber qué hizo exactamente, qué hizo para que la amaras. Año, mes, día, semana “¿A qué hora fue? ¿Qué dije? ¿Qué hice? ¿Cómo te sentiste?“ No te enamores de una persona curiosa, porque he estado allí. Desabrochará tu camisa y leerá cada cicatriz, cada marca, cada curva. Explorará cada una de tus extremidades, cada órgano, cada pensamiento, cada ser.
