You may be having a case of the Mondays, but Kim Kardashian certainly isn’t. Earlier this morning, she made an announcement that may come as a shock to many members of the legal profession. After two years of attempts, Kardashian has finally achieved what was seemingly impossible.

“OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!!” she proudly announced on Instagram. Within just 15 minutes, her post was liked more than 464,000 times.

To quote her Halloween inspiration Elle Woods, “What, like it’s hard?”

Back in April 2019, Kardashian told the world that she was studying to become a lawyer without going to law school, but through an apprenticeship. She failed the baby bar exam three times before receiving the news that she passed this past October’s administration of the test (which was her final chance to do so before she’d lose credit for all coursework taken up to that point).

“I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option,” Kardashian wrote. “[I]t feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.”

Kardarshian went on to thank her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian — who was apparently “notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass [the bar] on their first attempt” — saying “he would have been my best study partner.”

If there’s anything to be learned from Kim Kardashian’s journey, it’s that you should never give up. She concluded her Instagram post with inspirational words for those going through their own struggles (law school-related or otherwise):

Bottom line is don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!
