Parting Words

By Darina Boykova

Right now, you might think you are just a piece of a puzzle:

A small gear in a law machine – continuously spinning and spinning. 

Uncertainty and doubt might be boarding you up like a muzzle,

Forcing your desire of sharing your thoughts to start thinning.

 

Believe us, we know the feeling – 

There is almost 300 of us just in 1L!

And alongside there is this suspicion, disheartening and unappealing,

That in order to stand out as a lawyer, you need to excel.

 

Thankfully, the facts of the case show that you matter to a higher degree.

In reality, we want to see not your grades or your awards, but your persona as a whole.

Not everything has to be about law – a reasonable person would agree;

Presenting your expressions, ideas, and opinions is our goal.

 

It might be hard to see your worth in the sea of perceived diamonds, being a gem.

But do not get lost in the wilderness of this unsure thought;

Focus on your interests, and maybe write an article for ExCuria on them!

As you only live once, and to live it fully and contentedly you ought.
