So, I've decided to take the LSAT

Well, Darby got into Law School with a music degree, so it's certainly possible if it's what you want to do.

Now, you will eventually have to choose something to do that you'll like for awhile. While it might be more fun than the real world, you can't stay a student forever (in the literal sense; in the sense that we are all students, constantly learning, sure, you could make that argument... but literally being a student eventually runs you out of money). But it does make a good story that you were a biology, French, art, and geology major ending up with a law degree.

Well, I will have a geology degree and a law degree. Also, I think practicing environmental law isn't too much of an offshoot from the UG course of study, just instead of researching, im advocating for the research. I think having a scientific background, especially if I can situate myself correctly, will prove beneficial for my credibility.

It's a thought - but it is a big leap to be able to do that and stick with it. Law school has been described to me as the worst semester you had in college, only it lasts for six semesters. But, if it's what you really want to do, then you should do it and follow through - make sure it's not something you'll be bored with in six months. I would suggest taking some courses beforehand (if EMU offers them) to learn about various things you'll have to deal with in law school, such as the constitution (and various others that I'm not thinking of right now) - even if you're not going into Constitutional Law, it will be a class you have to take in law school and do well in.
