But What I Really Wanted to be...

Have a good weekend, folks!

But I really wanted to be...

Okay, everyone goes to law schools for different reasons. But most law students, let's face it, didn't ACTUALLY want to go to law school for their whole lives (no matter what they may say). So every now and again I'll let you know what I really wanted to do with my life by posting a picture of what I actually wanted to be (at some point in my past).

So, yes, I'm going to law school. But what I really wanted to be was:

Engaged to a prince.
