Parks and Rec has gifs for every situation, including summing up the 0L life cycle. Wherever you are in the cycle, I hope you find this relatable!
Deciding you want to go to law school
And convincing yourself it’s a good idea
Studying for the LSAT
The endless grind
Right after taking the LSAT
You’re gonna shut down for the next 48 hours
Waiting for LSAT results
And trying not to second guess your answer choices
Getting your LSAT results
And trying to convince yourself it’s gonna be okay
Unsolicited Emails
All those law schools you’ve never heard of showing up in your inbox liiiiiike
Filling out applications
And realizing you don’t have any hobbies
Trying to explain where you are in your cycle
Trying to explain waitlisting, offers, acceptances, and school rankings to relatives and receiving unsolicited advice
Unexpected acceptance calls
Trying to keep your cool and handle the call like a professional
Waiting for $$ offers
It’s like waiting for your LSAT results all over again
Getting accepted at your dream school!
ICE CREAM TIME
Waiting for school to start
What is there left to do now that you can’t obsessively check your email?
Supporting beginning cyclers
Supporting the new gremlins on r/lawschooladmissions like
Getting ready to quit your job
As the reality of law school starts to sink in you momentarily rethink everything
Law school finally starts!
And your time as an 0L has officially ended!
