We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I used to take interest in painting / reading / exercising before I joined a law firm. Now it seems like I have no hobbies left. And it's gotten much worse since the pandemic.
All I do nowadays is either work or complain or just be sad.
Money may follow eventually. But, to get out of this situation is important.
I began in the start of class 9, when we were told to get serious for the board exams next year.
I'm very close to quitting rather than resuming WFO which will force me to spend whatever little time I have to myself in commute and pointless office pretences. Work itself gives me no joy lately despite decent team and appreciative affirmations from partners and clients.

Universities - it will ease up big time. Online education is the worst.
In my case work from home has made things worse. I am just sitting in one room whole day. Afraid to stay away from my laptop screen for more than 10 minutes, fearing that something urgent may come. (Since everything is urgent only).
