Law School
I just went to some seminar dealy on various aspects of both applying to and attending Law School. Honestly, it seems like it sucks. To get into the law schools of my choice apparently I need to beat 98% of the country on the LSAT. In addition to that, the speaker stressed b.s strategies for looking like an appealing candidate to the admission staff. Yada yada yada, more bs etc etc.
Life is way too fukin competative; everyone just needs to relax. So, I'm wondering, to those in Law School or those who went to one, does it suck? Is it pretty much all work with very little time to do whatever the hell you want? Are the majority of students Type A personality shmucks? A quote from one of the speakers was something to the extent of, "You'll work very hard, and occasionally you'll have fun." Now, obviously these speaker dudes get off on trying to intimidate people, but I have heard similar rumors previously. I realize that this is a pretty boring post for OOT, but if a couple of people could share their experience, it'd be a big help to me. Thanks. |

Re: Law School
I went to law school. I got laid a bunch and made a ton of money playing poker.
And at the end of the day I have a nice law degree in my poker room. |

Re: Law School
I've said this before, but my sister went to Michigan Law while I was an undergrad there. She partied more than I did.
I got drunk maybe 2-3 times a week. You do the math. |

Re: Law School
If you are thinking so negatively about law school, you really ought to do yourself a favor and not go.
That said, I can't wait to get back to Tulane. |

Re: Law School
There are definitely a good number of people like you described in law school, but not everyone or even a majority are like that. There are plenty of cool people; it's easy to avoid/ignore/make fun of the douchebags.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, my sister told me about this game they played, where they made fun of the overzealous people in class. I think they called them "gunners." Anyways it was sort of like Fantasy Football, where you'd get points every time one of your "players" said something in class. And you got more points for the quality/length of whatever they said. My sister told me one time one of her guys went on a rant for a bit, and THEN to top it off he quoted F-ing Shakespeare. Maaaaad points for that. |

Re: Law School
We played gunnar bingo. Just like regular bingo but you cover a space whenever one of the gunnars on your card volunteers an answer.

Re: Law School
I'm in my first year of law school and I love it. There is a lot of reading to do, but it is really not as hard as everyone says. As far as fun goes, there is plenty of time for that too. I normally go out Thursday Friday Saturday night. If you have any questions about the admissions process, where to apply or any of that stuff, feel free to private message me and I'd be glad to help you out.
