Good Will Hunting Syndrome

Condition in which a person believes life is a big coming-of-age drama starring them, and the rest of the people in the world are either supporting characters or extras. They are obsessed with figuring themselves out: Why is my life so hard? When will I be happy? Why can't I get what I want? What's wrong with me? Who will finally tame my wild spirit and get me to settle down? Life, to them, is a quest to answer these questions, and it should be everybody else's quest too.
All he does is talk about himself. He definitely has Good Will Hunting syndrome.

hanging out my shingle

When a professional (especially a lawyer), rather than looking for a job, just goes and finds clients. This takes guts and a willingness to work constantly for precious little money in exchange for autonomy.
Law student 1: Hey, you made top 10%. I bet you could get that $160,000 opening at Rob, Ewe, and Howe!

Law student 2: Fuck those guys. I don't want to kiss ass for the next 20 years. I'm hanging out my shingle.
