The document discusses the author's experience studying philosophy and legal studies. It describes how philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, Heidegger, and Marx influenced their career choice and how reading materials in the course covered major works. While the readings were sometimes boring, available resources made learning exciting and easier. Preparing papers and debates was difficult but helped them become a better thinker. The author is now graduating soon and is thankful for all the lessons learned from their pre-law course.

and Eric Fromm were not bitter ex-boyfriends (hehe)
They were philosophers -
ancient and modern who have made a great impact in my career and why I chose to study Philosophy and Legal Studies.
And how in the span of
several minutes will I convince you to do the same :)
If you love reading...
... then you're in for a great treat.
The reading we do in this course
is massive. Think about synthesizing the whole A Song of Ice and Fire in one semester only you'd be learning about Heidegger and his philosophy.
I heard someone say 'BORING'
well, TBH, it is sometimes, but that's how you use the numerous resources you have at your disposal right now.
I must admit learning today is
more exciting and easier more than ever - what will all the videos, eBooks that are at the mercy of your fingertips.
Aristotle and Plato digitally
explaining their own school of thought on your screens. So reading those lessons, prepping a paper is hard...
... yes, but you learn a LOT
and that can make you a better person, a better individual ready to take on the challenges that graduation will bring
If you love discourse, arguing
your way to a higher allowance or simply getting your way.
... then I tell you with all honesty
this is a good practice.
ALL the preparation that goes
to a defense and a debate is enough to drive anyone nuts
In hindsight, I couldn't be more
thankful for the exercise.
I am a better at organizing my thought because of the guidance my instructors have provided and because of the learning from my 4 years stay in the course.
Now, on to a bigger picture.
I never saw myself as a teacher.
I raised hell while I was studying
and I did now want to experience the same (apologies to my teachers)
I also did not see myself as a
politician. It's a messy job and I don't like cleaning as much as I like cleaning my own bedroom. I saw myself wielding the shield of Lady Justice and defending the oppressed.
I did not enroll in Law School right away.
I did what wide eyed fresh grad
would do and looked for a job that would fit my lifestyle and my needs.
After gaining the needed experience,
meeting different people, finding my soul... I was ever ready to plunge my way in law school.
Cut the story short, I am about
to graduate.... soon.
It has been an amazing journey
so far and I am forever thankful of EVERYTHING my pre-law course taught me.
I know, me rambling about my
experiences is not enough to convince you.
That's okay.
The world is your playground
and you have the all the right to choose the swing, the slide or the see-saw.
So choose wisely.
Play around until you find
the perfect and most comfortable ride you won't get sick of.
