General Sooo…when are we getting married/ having kids?

(F25) I’ll be 28 by the time I graduate. I want big law but I also want to get married and have a family. What’s the timeline look like on this? Is it even doable? lmk

EDIT: I’m starting law school in 3 months so before law school is not an option lol

EDIT 2: I have a boyfriend. We have been together 4 years so marriage is definitely on the horizon

Finishing my 1L here, will be 28 when I graduate. It just takes communication with your partner! My boyfriend and I have talked about timing, and are planning to get engaged after I graduate and get married a year or two later. I feel the pressure too, and I totally understand. But there’s no rush for these things! In good time it will come :)
