Hi,

I am a college student on winter break. I am taking the LSAT in January. I really want to do the absolute best I can in order to get 170+. Getting a 170+ would mean that there’s potential for me to attend a T-14 school (best law schools in the country) hopefully on a scholarship. I do not want to attend any other school than a T-14. I know I can do it and I know I am smart enough. The only problem is I am riddling in anxiety. I have GAD as it is, and when I add a huge stressor, like an entrance exam, everything just gets so much worse. My thoughts are constantly racing with reminders of all that I have left to do in terms of my studying + law applications. On top of that, I told my mom I’d work with her for a catering company today and tomorrow. I’m going today but I’m not sure if I should cancel tomorrow in order to focus. I know I made a commitment but isn’t working towards my future more of an important commitment? I’m at home now instead of my college town, which makes it harder to study because nearly every business won’t let me study there. It’s hard to study at my house because there’s so much hustle and bustle— no quiet time. I leave on the 30th to visit my boyfriend in his home state, too. I’m forcing myself to study there, too. All in all, I’m just swamped in anxiety. I know it’s all about positive thinking, but I just want to make this happen more than anything. I don’t know if I’m looking for advice or just to vent, but please feel free to comment suggestions or thoughts.
