I'm definitely going to get a job. My mom said she didn't realize that a lawyers chances of having a good career depend a lot on what school they go to and suggested I start working part time soon and I told her I decided te same. So that's still happening. And right after I sent that I realized that I still have enough time to plan, get help with housing and get a job and save up. My parents said they'll help wherever they can also if need be.
I was gonna go back and edit my post but my phone does and I was out who my family and didn't have a charger. So I definitely took your advice and will get a job. Maybe it'll help me meet people, it'll coverts only give me work experience, and having money saved up is obviously a plus. I actually wanna thank you for suggesting that while also understanding my circumstances, that right there gave me some confidence to take action. So thanks for that--may not have been much to you but I appreciate it
Wonderful! I'm SO glad to hear that.
Ah... parental worry!
Sometimes when people make a major change in their lives, their loved ones have a knee jerk reaction, saying, in essence, "Don't change!" Your description of your mother and your sister-in-law ripping apart your plans sounded like that kind of knee jerk reaction on their part. Maybe it was just how you communicated that... discussion boards don't leave much room for nuances... but of course it could be much more than that.
Of course there is.

Check out the menu in the sidebar. It's got lots of helpful information, questions to ask to decide if graduate school is right for you, and if so, lots of helpful hints on how to go about getting in and how to make the most of it.
I found it looking for statistics to back up my claims when I was making that last post. I knew that most people who go to graduate school don't start right after college and that graduate schools seem more likely to admit applicants who have some life experience, but needed some backup before I went and said it.
And did you ever text her?
Ever look for her on Facebook? Unless she's hiding online, too, it's very easy to find people through social media.
I have several friends who I'm in sporadic touch with, and sometimes social media, or just running into them on the street, is how the friendship continues. One of those friends, I've known since sixth grade... and I just happened to bump into her again a few weeks ago! I consider that something special, the way we just keep running into each other randomly.
Did you ever suggest that yourself? Sometimes making the suggestion is what it takes. Maybe they were waiting for you to say something.
Everyone has a shadow. Whether you see it or not.
