Congratulations bar takers! You have done IT! Not just the bar exam, but all that you did: devoting headspace, time, and energy; managing expectations of others; foregoing events and time with people; and everything else you invested in getting to the exam and taking it. You have succeeded and have reason to celebrate. We celebrate you. This is a time when you likely have lots of feelings and emotions that are mixed. Relief, exhaustion, gratitude, peace but maybe also worry that you didn’t pass (not everyone does), uncertainty, fear, anxiety, sadness. You are not alone in that. We’re not going to tell you how you should feel. LCL will be here to listen if you want to share your feelings. We’re always just a phone call away.
