Safarigirl what's love got to do with it? I hate drugs, but take it anyway because I want my body to survive whatever illness currently ravages it. It's no different now. You don't have to love law or all the reading involved to begin with. All you need to do is think about a future in this crazy country and what choices today gives you the best possible value tomorrow. When you identify it, work your buttt off. Love doesn't get you the crown, hard work does... Even hard work for the things you dislike. When you get what you need, you can go for what you want Best wishes. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

prof800:lol...I've actually considered both. Got a blog, but it's not active, apparently you need a laptop to use a blog efficiently so that one is on hold for now. With the sports journalism, I was offered a job once, but it was in Lagos, I would have taken it if it were in Abuja. So that angle...anything involving writing, be it on sports, politics, fiction, I'm in. But I've only been able to write fiction so far 2 Likes |

UjSizzle:that's one angle to it...but I absolutely hate failure. I don't want to be where I'll either fail or I just barely pass. It's pointless if after 5 years, my CGPA would be too weak for law school 2 Likes |

safarigirl: Sweety it's all in mind. I don't dispute that your passion for a course should be studied but one thing I believe is that you can actually have passion or do well in something "if you want to". I studied Accounting in the university because I liked financial accounting while in secondary school not knowing I will face entirely different accounting courses from financial accounting in the university and so at a point I got tired of some courses (e.g taxation). I barely enjoyed reading taxation until I thought to myself that I can actually love this course if I want to, I just got to do some research about tax accounting itself and before you know it, taxation became one of my favourite. I might not be able to say much but I believe it's all in the mind, I never had passion for computer science too but I wanted to know and learn programming and I am doing so now with happiness. So you should just sit down and talk to yourself that you can do whatever you want, our number 1 limitation is ourself and that's why your mindset is very important. You can do it 1 Like |

UjSizzle: I agree except that she might need to like it, even it's a bit before she can work hard in it. And that's where mindset comes to play |
Re: I'm Tired Of Law by swtdarling(f): 8:59am On Mar 14, 2015 |
safarigirl,before u think of changing your course, think if it would take u longer than if u continue studying law.my point is that u should graduate early and be an achiever at an early age. This phrase u going thru happened to me too,i found my self day- dreaming about who I wanted to be which was totally different from my course and reading became a chore to me. So I jst prayed that I dnt get distracted easily from reading,who says oaps dnt address crowd now.look at toke makinwa,toolz etc,they are now called to host shows with plenty crowds.see dnt view ur course as totally useless,it would help u a great deal and it doesnt stop u from achieving your dreams.and even wen u become an oap,singer,writer etc,u might want to diversify later.pls multitask dear,keep doing what u love and study too.All the best |

Currently a law student in my 4th year. If you really feel your passion for the course is zero, pls you can kindly switch to another course since it's not that late yet. All the best. 3 Likes |

safarigirl:I was just as scared of failing when I began writing a professional course in accounting. But hun, that fear is crippling. Get your mind off it, tell yourself everyday that this is important. If it's important then you will find a way around it. You say you like to write cool. So do I. Then write. You can start a blog or freelance for other sites (you can write for me sef ). You can take studying law as additional fodder for expressing your thoughts when you write. There are principles of accounting I like to use when I'm bothered to find a connection (even though the discipline makes me yawn sometimes). A less than passionate course doesn't close the door to your dreams if you see it as a necessary part of moving from Point A (where you are) to Point B (where you would like to be). Like someone suggested it is a thing of mindset. Work on that and you will be fine And take it a day at a time. 1 Like |

haibe:Like? Nah. I can say I don't enjoy accounting one bit. Who will anyway, darn thing makes you wanna go to sleep. But I am also bloody good at it because I hate to fail at anything. I want to help people. I want to be financially stable enough to provide the things I need. I want to be relevant to the society. And by God I am getting my head into a multinational company of my choice in the nearest future So what I think she really needs is reasons why what she is doing relevant. If we had our ways we'd skip writing exams (unless you're Jarus), but we understand it's the only way to prove that something taught has been duly understood. What she needs is to do is figure out the 'why'. Why Law? If that question's answered then she'll work out the rest. 2 Likes |

There was a friend of mine who only studied law to please her father. Her main passion was fashion designing. This girl would create very beautiful designs and sew them perfectly. From our year 2 till we graduated in year 5, she was d one always winning d 'most creative' award at the faculty dinner. While we were cracking our heads in law of evidence class, cramming cases and statutes she would be with her pad sketching designs. She graduated with us, albeit with a low grade and also passed law school. After our call, she abandoned her wig and gown and opened a shop to fully pursue her passion. Today, if you step into her shop you would be amazed. The caliber of clients she attracts is jaw-dropping. Apart from being insanely good at what she does, the clients know that they are not just dealing with the average Iya Bukky tailor, they are dealing with a lawyer. I have read one of your stories and I think you are a very good writer. There is nothing bad in having Safari girl LLB, BL at the back cover of your books. law cannot stop you from pursuing your passion. Rather it will help you. Lolo1 is a popular OAP in Nigeria today but she is a lawyer who even practiced for a few years before going into broadcasting. 1 Like |

safarigirl: Keep trying your best. In my 3rd year studying law i abandoned school for a whole semester, my mates thought i transferred, my CGPA fell like the wall of jericho. I have clinical depression and got meds. Depression is bad, get professional help if you don't think its just a temporary mental block. 2 Likes |
