I enjoyed law school because I liked my friends there, particularly because none of them gave a fuck and the goal was to do as little work possible, nothing at all for the good of humanity while trying to find a good job. |

Yea I had a great time 2L and 3L, but only because i literally lived in another city and did absolutely nothing for class. This was a great time but it's also fucking annoying you pay 50k a year to essentially do nothing but wait for the degree. Law school kids are boring, overly politically correct and rarely fun. It's not that bad after 1L but the idea that it's the most fun time in your life or anything other than a complete waste of time/really expensive 2 year vacation is bullshit. |

You had to live in a different city because you couldn't find friends and you're throwing stones at other people for not being fun? There are cool people at every law school, you either were the "I'm too cool for this shit type," some kind of weirdo non-trad, or a combination of the two. |
|
Date: January 29th, 2015 6:59 PM Author: appetizing avocado church building coldplay fan There are not cool people at every law school. There are a handful of bros I went out with 1L who were really wild but they all bounced after 1L also. Law school kids are risk averse and boring, their idea of fun is to have 3 beers and stand around at a bar talking about ugly chicks or class.

Date: January 29th, 2015 7:02 PM Author: Ultramarine therapy I had a few good bros (and broettes) and the same gf for most of it, and it was fun for a bit. 2L and 3L years I got antsy. I hated the classes, didn't like the pseudo-intellectual aspect of it, tired quickly of the gunners who read the cases and every supplement available, didn't like the politicizing of everything, and didn't like living like a poor. It also started feeling very small and every conversation was related to class, gossip, or about callbacks/firms.
In hindsight, I would have enjoyed it more had I worked for a year or two first instead of going straight through. Also, I would have tried for JD/MBA instead of just wanting to GTFO of school. |
