October 4, 2023 By Alison Monahan Leave a Comment

Surviving the October FreakoutOne of my clearest memories from my first year of law school is walking through Central Park on a crisp October Friday, looking at the leaves changing colors and thinking about nothing. Sounds great, right? Well, I was only there because I’d had a total meltdown earlier in the day (think suddenly sobbing in a meeting), and a 2L friend insisted I take the rest of the day off to avoid a complete nervous breakdown. (You can read that whole story here.) [Read more…] about Surviving the October Freakout
