Law School as Told by [1]Elle Woods

When you get your first acceptance letter and get to brag that you're going to law school

When family members ask what you plan to do after graduation

When you decide to buy used books, even if they already have writing in them

When you get your first reading assignments

When you remember that strippers don't have to make case briefs

When you decide to stop studying and just sleep

When you've mastered the Socratic Method

When you finally finish reading for the day

When your professor asks you a question and you get it right

When your legal writing professor hands a paper back 3 times because you can't get the citations right

When your professor assigns more readings than was on the syllabus

When you realize that this is now the extent of your social life

And pretend that you're fine staying home to study while your non-law friends go out

When you use legal terms around non-law people to sound smart

When you have to write your first legal memo and have no clue what you're doing

When you get 9/10 right on a quiz but it turns into a B- thanks to the curve

When you have to dress Business Professional and a girl comes teetering in on 6" heels

When you realize that 4 hours isn't enough time for a final

When you find out that multiple choice finals aren't any easier than essay finals

When you realize that you survived the semester
