Screaming Bean
Tuesday, August 10, 2004

I love Blawg Wisdom. More than once I've thought to myself, "If only I had this information before I started..." This is not to say that I hadn't prepped myself by reading every pre-law school book I could find. Law School Confidential was my friend. I adopted the multi color highlighting scheme. I've been wracking my brain to try and come up with more helpful hints for other law students. So today I'm going to tell you about second year issues.

For all of you who made it on journals and reviews, congrats. It's a great honor, even if you had to pay to join (which by the way boggled my mind...but that's another story.) This event will take up a great deal of your time. Choices will have to be made regarding other events and activities that you may not be able to do. Moot Court is probably not an option for you now. That all being said, do not harsh your friends/students for not following your path. It's not as if all of these people were not good enough to get on a journal, it may have been an active decision not to do a journal. Looking at them askant in the library will not make you friends. Also, such snobbery also occurs during OCI. For those of you whose schools do not follow the pattern of bidding, it will be made clear early on who is getting the interviews for they are wearing suits to school all the time. If you are one of these lucky people, answer the questions that are posed to you by your fellow students with grace not condescension. You may never understand why you've gotten the interviews. It could be one simple line item on your resume. It's not because you're the best thing since sliced bread. People will be happy for you but also jealous. That is human nature.

My moral of the story is that 2L is a hard year. It's time-consuming, stressful, and at times frustrating as hell. Do what you think you must. Take the courses that stretch your brain. Step above the high school mindset and become your own person. People will respect you for it.
