I'm of the opinion, too, that Princeton is meant to be enjoyed

It's just that I've already lost 2 years of my life to conscription.

Also, I come from a country where lawyers are trained as undergraduate 4-year LL.B candidates, unlike in America where law is graduate school. IF I DO decide in the end that I want to be a lawyer, I'd need to spend 3 years in graduate law school after Princeton - that's 3 more years more than my peers with undergraduate law degrees. it's 5 more years if you compare me with females who don't get conscripted.

7 years vs 4 years to become a lawyer in my country... it's not a very wise investment. so if I decide I wanna be a lawyer, I'll try to graduate in 3 years so that it'll be 3 + 3 = 6 years. 1 fewer year of school fees is quite a lot.
