things i learned at law school (so far)

11Okt11

1. Never do anything you don’t want to do. Never lose control over your own life.
2. Never let your happiness depend on other people’s success/failure.
3. Wear neutral colored clothing when you want to blend in in class.
4. Reading order: textbooks, outlines, then powerpoint handouts.
5. What goes online stays online. Watch your tweets.
6. Constantly comparing your GPA with others is a people-repellent
7. So you have huge ambitions! Good for you. Now keep your head down and work hard. There is no quicker way to make people resent you in this school than seeing someone who’s always working an angle to get one more notch on their resumes.
8. Always try to get at least 5 hours of sleep every day
9. Don’t believe everything you hear. Don’t get sucked in the rumor mill.
10. Try to show up to class as much as possible.
11. Bring an umbrella every day when rainy season starts. This will save you one day.
12. Try to be nice, but don’t kill yourself trying to make friends with the few people you naturally dislike. Chances are they don’t like you either.
13. You’ll see lots of different people with characteristics and mannerisms you’ll think of as annoying sometimes, but honestly most people are actually pretty nice. Really.
14. And finally: be as honest as you possibly can.

(disclaimer: this list is not how i act in real life, it’s meant to be a guide so i don’t slip up and become apa banget)
