Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 217540" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey, I completely understand how you're feeling - these cycles can be really stressful, especially when everything feels out of your control. It's totally normal to feel anxious after submitting applications, and handing them in doesn't mean you've failed or succeed - it just means you've done the part that is in your control, and that alone is an achievement.One thing that might help is remembering that the average age of qualification in law is 30. Most law graduates won't leave university with a training contract, and there are many opportunities to gain experience and build your skills. Taking time to grow, both professionally and personally, allows you to find the right fit for you! Even if this cycle doesn't go to plan, it doesn't close doors in law. Some of the best trainees / lawyers that I know worked as paralegals or legal assistants before securing their training contracts, and I can only hope to be half the lawyer they are!In the meantime, I would focus on small things that you can control - taking breaks, keeping a routine, doing something you enjoy, and checking in with friends and peers who are going through the same process. Most importantly, be kind to yourself. You're already putting in the effort, and that counts for a lot. This is such a competitive process, and I'd strongly encourage you to reach out (whether to someone you trust or a professional) if the stress is overwhelming.You have got this! Every application you make moves you one step closer to your training contract, and you're improving as you go along (even if it sometimes doesn't feel like it!).</blockquote>
