Hello, Hope You're Doing Well!!

Hello, hope you're doing well!!

It's only been two months into law school for me and way too early to assess what I want to pursue going forward, but I'm curious- what made you decide to pursue an LLM? More importantly, what factors did you have to consider before making that decision?

Hi!

What made you decide to do an LLM? - Although I have almost no experience writing research papers, I am deeply interested in the process of knowledge creation that is employed when writing them. I have profound respect for the authors of all the texts we have been prescribed in our course. A part of me wants to go deeper into that space of creation. LLM is a way to involve deeper into legal research and methodology. I love academia.

What factors I considered when making the decision to pursue LLM -

I have the time, and the resources. I can afford to spend another year on further education. I have no dependants and no pressing need to be financially independent as of yet.

I want to go to a better University where my chances of meeting future mentors and people like myself are greater. My current University is hostile towards learning.

Getting into a good university for masters also would help in making quality connections in the field, and I get to explore the possibilities in a way I can't right now with a bachelor's degree from an average university.

Note: It is never a good idea to be influenced by institutional repute. You and only you have control over your future. Just being in a good university does not guarantee life long success. That being said, institutes of repute can be a good way to surround yourself with ambitious and like minded people. That gets you very far in life.

I wish you the best of luck!

Done with my final semester exams! I'm keeping all these revision notes in a shoebox so I can look back and reminisce 😌

I wrote the last exam of my undergraduate degree. It's only going to get more surreal from here but I hope the next couple of months go as planned so I can get to where I wanna go next year 🤞🏻

Cafe day! Yay ❤️
