Law School Mid-Terms Should Not Happen in September

September 25, 2017 by Bitter Student Leave a Comment

Inexplicably, we have begun midterms. I know, we’re like four weeks in, so how can it already be the middle of the term? It is not. It would be more accurate to call these, early-semester indicators of your stupidity, but obviously the profs decided that was a bit wordy. You may think from last week’s…

Law School is Psychological Warfare

September 18, 2017 by Bitter Student Leave a Comment

My friends would say I’m relatively laid back. No, really. In my normal life, no one would ever think, “hey, I bet you really enjoy crushing people’s dreams.” Well, I’m here to tell you that I do. I don’t know why. It seems reasonable to assume that in grad school I still had something to…

Commas and Semicolons, and Colons, Oh My!

September 11, 2017 by Bitter Student 1 Comment

Has anyone noticed that lawyers are obsessed with punctuation marks? I mean, just obsessed. I mean, I get it: Correct grammar can make a profound difference. But seriously, when is the last time the choice between a semicolon and a colon had immense implications for your writing? Damn it! Now, I’m trying to think of…

Law School Just Sucks

September 2, 2017 by Bitter Student 3 Comments

You guys, why didn’t you tell me law school was haaaard? It’s hard. Don’t get me wrong, it’s interesting. You lawyers have some brass balls. This week, alone, I’ve learned that an airplane is not a motor vehicle and that if you get caught selling drugs near a park, you should at least try arguing…

Top Five Things You Are Doing To Avoid Studying For Finals

May 1, 2017 by Bitter Lawyer 1 Comment

You know the drill. It’s finals time, and when you’re not wallowing in regret and self-loathing, you’re avoiding studying. Not in cool fun ways like going out to dinner or seeing a movie, but more in pathetic home-bound ways where you tell yourself that any moment now, you’ll start studying. For sure. Promise. Right after…

Tales from the Trenches: Exams Suck

December 9, 2016 by Bitter Student Leave a Comment

You may have noticed that your intrepid observer of all things weird and random at law school took a break. That is because none of you jerks told me about the dreaded exam period. Law school exams suck. The hype around law school exams sucks way more. As I mentioned last time, my fellow pupils…

Tales From The Trenches: Exams Are Coming.

November 18, 2016 by Bitter Student Leave a Comment

Watching the sturm und drang of my classmates this week has been…unsettling. No, we are not talking about the election – that seems to have barely made a dent in the collective consciousness of the cohort. Oh sure, there are some exceptions, but for the most part, it appears that nothing shall be allowed to…
