Need space.

Hastings has, for the most part, truly proven itself to be the school for me. Just the fact that it’s in San Francisco is enough for me to feel content about the geographic novelty and the advent of my adulthood. But with all that is good, I really miss having a huge campus I could camouflage into. I miss classes I could be invisible in yet absorb everything I needed to. I miss huge school events and guiltless Wednesday nights. Twenty-four, alongside just being in law school, is really forcing me to deal with and commit to things that make me writhe. They’re growing pains - the kind that actually kind of hurt. I miss being existential and contemplative about the meaning of anything and everything, but maybe life is actually more comfortable when you’re constantly on the go, having to cut philosophy short or else risk being left behind. I just don’t want to wake up, having followed this momentum, with a mid-life crisis or an insatiable, unfulfilled desire for more meaning.
