Things Law School Has Taught Me

1. That, inevitably, there will always be someone smarter than you.
2. Someone is always going to get a better job than you.
3. None of this means you're unqualified. Generally, it means that you have more social skills and have remembered about priorities outside law school.
4. Coffee/caffeine is the real staff of life. People say this about bread, but that is utterly fallacious.
5. Law students are the best at figuring out how to subtly sidestep rules.
6. Drinks at noon is totally acceptable and does not make you an alcoholic (as long as it's not every day).
7. An essential element of sanity is (a) having friends that are not law students, (b) spending time with said friends, and (c) bonus points if they have real people jobs and are cool with paying for your drinks every now and then.
8. Remembering to eat is one of the most difficult challenges that I have ever encountered.
9. Someone invading your library space will, in fact, make you want to murder them.
10. Acting on said homicidal thoughts is probably not in your best interests, unless your goal is to spend some time in some configuration of prison.
11. It might be possible to plead temporary insanity during finals.
12. Snacks are essential to studying.
13. It is, in fact, possible to live like a dysfunctional frat boy (as a female or OCD male). Read: it is possible for your entire living space to appear as if a bomb went off, to have no food, and possess only alcohol and consider reusing socks. Though, this is highly undesirable....for everyone.
14. Delirium translates into a large amount of late 90's pop.
15. It doesn't matter how old/young you are, when you hit 2L year, ALL the 1Ls (regardless of age) are either precious or deeply irritating in their sincerity and drive to succeed. I mean, god, people, all I want to do is watch all 3 seasons of Arrested Development on my computer. Also, I want to take all the mental health days during finals.
16. Mental health days are acceptable.

Now, in the interest of productivity, let's all watch a video that seriously objectifies some beautiful specimens of the male gender.
