18 Things All Pre-Law Students Can Relate To

1. Studying for the LSAT, while also studying for your class exams

"I'm fine."

2. The fomo that comes with explaining to your friends that you can’t go out because you have to study for a test that’s 3 months away

And then watching their snaps as they party while you stay in and die study for the lsat.

3. When your scores on the lsat practice tests start to improve

Wow and to think it only took 100,000,000,000 hours to see a 1 point improvement!

4. Looking at law schools online and seeing yourself there

Even if your dream school seems a little of a reach.

5. Deciding which law school to go to

Is it too much to apply to 10 schools? How about 20?


(also yes this gif is from The Bachelor because it's a good show)

6. Trying to not think about the cost of law school

Yes this one really needed 3 gifs.


7. Going to law school forums and hearing the same questions over and over again

Google exists for a reason.

8. Constantly worrying about your grades, extracurriculars, resume, etc.

The world may never understand the stress level of a pre-law student.

9. Asking for letters of recommendation

Please like me.

10. Trying to write your personal statement

Simple enough. Just tell us why you want to study law at our law school and why you're better than all the other hundreds of applicants. In 250 words or less of course.


11. Envisioning how you’ll change the world with your law degree

And obviously you'll do it with a killer wardrobe.

12. Trying to prove to your friends that you know what you're talking about when you give them legal advice

No Miranda you should not fight that parking ticket you got for going 80 in a 25 zone, you will loose. But yes Andi you should totally fight that citation you got for public intoxication outside of the bar, everyone else was drunk too.

13. When people remind you how much money you’ll make

Okay maybe, but that’s after I go into debt to pay for another 3 years of school. Also there's more to being a lawyer than just a paycheck.

14. And if you’re going into public interest law, accepting that you might not get paid as much as corporate lawyers

But also accepting that you'll be making the world a better place.

15. Being asked if Law And Order is your favorite show

Since Grey’s Anatomy is your favorite show, I’m assuming you’re pre-med?

16. When people assume that you must be smart

I mean like yeah, I like to think so, but I also study ALL THE TIME.

17. The joy of finding another pre-law student

Because hey, we're in it together!

18. Knowing that it’s all worth it, because someday you’ll be a lawyer

And that day cannot come soon enough.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
