Two Weeks to Freedom... Or Am I Just Freaking Out?

Counting down my last two weeks at this law firm in Chicago, and honestly, my mind is a total mess. Should I be celebrating my upcoming freedom, or am I just quietly panicking about what comes next? Every day, I replay the endless client calls, the office politics that never made sense, and those team meetings that somehow managed to accomplish absolutely nothing. Now that the end is in sight, I’m questioning everything. Will I actually miss the daily grind? Or am I just scared of what happens when the routine disappears? Has anyone else been caught in this weird limbo of excitement and dread? I’d really appreciate any advice or stories you have—because right now, I’m equal parts ready to run and desperate to stay! 😅 #CareerTransition #WorkplaceAnxiety #RetirementThoughts #JobCareer
