Body is still having some trouble adjusting to this frequency, especially with how crazy life is at this point (last year of Law school + end of semester). Despite the busyness, it's all really great/positive in nature. I have less time, sleep, and energy than I'd like; but I know hustling right now will be worth it in the long run. Sacrifice in the short term to win in the long run. This mantra applies to school, lifting, career-- pretty much everything!
