I was going to write a post about what I’ve learned about law school during my 1L first semester, but decided the world needed more Good Place memes.
Launch Week
Stepping into a whole new world with a bunch of other scared humans.
But quickly realizing where you really are
When someone declines a coldcall
And the professor calls on you instead
Anytime you get invited to do something fun
When your 0 credit credit class dumps work on you
Crim reading
Somehow it’s gotten more and more depressing throughout the semester
When no one responds to you on your section’s group chat
Surviving midterms
By the skin of your teeth
When you missed a midterm question
And you realize it’s because you changed your answer
Getting roasted by your favorite professor
And pretending everything is cool
Dealing with the incessant questions
Aka the gunners
Realizing you should have started outlining
A long, long, long time ago.
When your obnoxiously confident gunner
Finally realizes what’s up
Meeting with your career counselor
And realizing just how inadequate you are.
