Life Crisis

I have been doing some thinking lately about my life. With law school just 3 months away, I'm starting to question myself. Is that really what I want to do? How do I know? Would my life be more fun and fulfilling if I stayed in with pr where I could write and be creative? Am I ready to move all the way to Virginia by myself? Why do I even want to go to law school? I don't know what kind of law I would study and I can't see myself working at a law firm forever. Is it even worth all the time, money and effort if I ultimately want to focus on having a family? If I don't go to law school, though, I'm worried that I'll be filled with regret. And my dad says the "timing" is right for me to go now while I don't have any responsibility or attachments. But law school is three years of my life and when I'm done I'll be halfway to 50! I want to do some fun things while I'm young and I don't think law school counts as "fun." Yesterday I was looking for jobs for Brian online and I found one that I would LOVE to do and that I'm qualified for. The Palace Hotel in NY needs a pr coordinator! They want someone with 1-5 years of experience in the hospitality industry (which I now almost have) and someone who can write well and be organized. And how cool would it be to live in New York! And work at the Palace!! Latte and I could play in Central Park... Anyway, the thought of passing up opportunities like that just to go study something for 3 years that I'm not sure I'll even like... It just makes me wonder what I should be doing with my life.
A mini life crisis. That's me right now.
